Yep, minor league. Short-term governor (she served less time than Wally Hickel, yes THE Wally Hickel)of a small-time state. No voting record on national issues to consider. Strictly an ideological candidate.

While she is not my favorite Republican and I have a few issues with her, she doesn't have a 10 year record of supporting illegal immigrants on behalf of her donors. I wouldn't be worried about her getting in office and then trying to get a guest worker program pushed through Congress. That easily bumps her ahead of Rick Perry as far as I'm concerned.

Out of the fantasy/undeclared candidates, I would rank her behind West, but definitely ahead of Rick Perry.

I agree with your comment on illegals, since Palin has never had to deal with them in her limited government experience. If she will come out with a strong, point-by-point plan about what she plans to do about illegal immigration, then we will have something to compare to, at least in theory. Is she a path to citizenship person? A send them all back person? Who really knows? She's everything to everyone right now.

Fantasy-land candidate? Jim DeMint for me.
