I do believe she is damaged and if there were none better to run but some dud like Romney or Bush I’d be all for it. If I’m going to lose I’d rather lose backing a principled candidate than one that stands for nothing yet everything. My biggest problem is how she approached the possibility of running last time. She led us on a wild goose chase and teased us up to October 5, 2011 a point that basically resulted in a vast waste of resources that could have went to another conservative candidate. Instead it left us with Romney. I really do love Sarah Palin for what she stands for and where she came from but she is going to have to do a lot of convincing to get me to chase her this go round. We have too many better and more accomplished candidates to waste our efforts on someone who is indeed valuable but whose time like Romney and Bush has passed.
*ahem* I was hoping and praying she'd run, and still do. But please, who signed up for the "wild goose chase" again? Be responsible for your own expectations. Palin didn't "lead you around" anywhere. You built the harness and wagon all on your own.
