Well, she hasn't been in elected office for three and a half years, and she was only governor for two and a half years.

I like what Sarah Palin has to say, but a presidential candidate needs a thicker national-level resume than that. I really wish she were to run for Senate, or hold any kind of formal position other than "self-employed book-writer and king-maker".

Well stated!
I agree.

Palin in the Senate would not fall in with the quilting bee mentality of the female US Senators. The hags would probably hate her being there. Fine by me, but I don't know if she'd like being cooped up there.

What would be great is for her to be Secretary of Energy in the Cruz/Paul cabinet.

Cruz!

Democrat resumes are little more than a sentence, but that’s good enough for the presstitudes in the media. Republicans need resumes with lots of experience. Frankly, after 6 years of Obama/Biden/Hillary/Kerry/Reid/McCain, I’d take Palin’s experience and common sense any day. How in the world did Romney lose after crushing Obama in that debate.

Oh, hell, the media is going to give both parties their candidates in 2016. They’ve been doing it for years. It all depends on “We determine what’s news and what’s not!” - Dan Rather.

Oh! Like the current one?

[stirrinthepuddin]

Like the experience Obama came to office with. /sarc

Palin's record in elective office is much greater than Mitt Romney's, and Obama's of 2008.

Romney's 20 years of running resulted in a single win, 48 months in the gov seat, versus 32 for Palin, his having to give up on reelection, and leaving office with 34% approval.
