I think that Sarah Palin could strike a decisive blow if she were to give the unofficial Republican rebuttal first. Basically point out the Democrats utter fiscal irresponsibility, broken promises, threats, etc.
Harry Reid refusing to allow the senate to even hold budget hearings for four years, demanding that the Republicans pass endless continuing resolutions using the last W. Bush budget. Mr. President, are you going to order Harry Reid to stand aside so that congress can finally make a budget for you? That’s their job, you know, and only your man has stopped it from happening for four years.
The bottom line is that she can really tear Obama a new one, making his promises, threats, blame throwing, etc., sound stupid and patronizing. She could probably get a solid hour on FOX to do this and it would blow Obama’s schemes out of the water.
Run as Speaker of the House in January. No republican speaker should mouth the words "0bamacare is the law of the land". If not Palin, then Bachmann... or West...
