She will go the way of Huckabee.
She has already, IMO. All she is missing is her own TV show. Oh ... wait...
It would be nice for the conservative base if she would just say she isn't running in 2012. All she is doing now is keeping the spotlight on her, and she is throwing foul chum into the GOP debate right now with her comments as a member of the media on FoxNews. Newt had to quit FoxNews. Santorum had to quit Foxnews. If Palin announces, I'll have to add "stringing FoxNews along to make money off of them" to a potential negative. I like her making money, but not if she is being coy about it.
Unless she starts hitting the Pork Rinds, eating Rocky Road Ice Cream by the Gallon and can magically play guitar, not so much.....
