Gov. Palin may indeed view herself as best suited for a king/queen-maker role. She is a realist.

She is skilled at holding others’ feet to the fire, and can play a truly valuable role in keeping candidates aligned to the values and principles the PEOPLE really want to vote for.

I also believe Palin (just by being herself and the Media image of her) is too valuable for the Dimocrats as a motivating persona. SHE can get the Dims out to vote.

while not as anti-Palin as pissant ;-) I *DO* see a greater value in Palin as a ‘cheer leader’ than a candidate.

How would she get Democrats out to vote more than any other candidate ?

this is what I don’t understand about your argument. Wouldnt any conservative fire up the Dem base ? President Bush did. dont forget.. he won twice

Cheerleader? A better word would be positive leader. But the key word is LEADER. From Obamacare to the Gulf BP crisis to endorsing winning candidates to the mosque at ground zero, Sarah Palin is the first to arrive on every issue in the past year and a half. That says leadership to me. I can't think of anyone who has lead better than her, can you?

No, you've simply accepted the Ruling Class meme.

Governor Palin is a leader. She is not some high school prima donna queen who should be cheerleading at events and then be told to sit down while the "men" take charge.
