I think Palin could do the same thing Scott Brown did on a national level and win as a conservative.but she doesn’t seem to want to fight for it.

I don't think so--poll after poll shows she can't. Yes, I know, we don't trust polls...unless they tell us what we want to know.

Brown threaded the needle--he saw that perception was what would kill him. His campaign was trailing thirty points until it was within ten points--at that point, people believed he MIGHT win, so they started supporting him, for his economic message and in retaliation for Coakley's negative, awful campaign.

Mostly, though, Brown won because most voters only got their first impression of him in the last month. I have followed Mass. politics for decades and I didn't hear about the guy (beyond his name) until December.

People looked at him, saw how he behaved, heard only what he wanted them to hear--economy, jobs, healthcare--and he won.

Were the election a month longer, he might have lost because the Dems would have poured more money in and possibly won the race to "define" Brown.

It's not that Palin doesn't want to fight, it's that she sees reality a lot more clearly than most of her fans, and she knows she's lost the race to define herself to the nation.

.....she knows she’s lost the race to define herself to the nation......

Sarah has defined herself as a star at this point...working at Fox will define her moreso as that. Popular no doubt. But she’s also defined conservative values..and that counts greatly. Some have forgotten along the way.

Supporting GOP canidates, representing the face of conservatives and building the energy of the people. She IS working for us...and if this is as far as she WANTS to go I’m very much fine with that..she’s doing a great job, and then all this makes sense.

AS President, at any other time I wouldn’t be so hesitant, but our nation has serious international problems which Bo continues to make worse..and they will be worse when the next Pres. steps in office.

hummm I just don’t know if Sarah can handle these while learning how to be Pres., and the washington circuit...I don’t want another popular Bo, rather someone more seasoned with both these arenas. But who???? Really who else????
