Which historians did you have in mind.
Another useless 'Palin is great BUT' post.
Would it do what? You don't get it, do you. A Romney/God ticket would suck.
Indeed. The ‘she’s to polarizing’ debate doean’t hold sway with me. As if. And Hillary isn’t polarizing? Obama?
Hillary would have to bring a lot of CHinese yen to build that war chest. She spent it all and was in hock after the last election. And without many of her former ‘bundlers’ gone (they’re in jail) where else would the money come from? Soros?
Palin has an Achilles’ heel. It has a name: Bristol. If she and her husband-to-be Levi manage to have their own reality show, there is no doubt that the producers will try to squeeze all juicy stories out of them. Whether those stories are true or not will not matter.
Bristol Palin: I’m Not Doing a Reality Show

Heck, why not replay 2008's McCain/Palin or Jeb Bush/Palin?
Give her some time. I don’t really trust a daughter who is willing to get engaged with a man who had trashed her own family in public.
Aren’t Bristol and Levi adults? Did Billy Carter, Roger Clinton, Ronnie “Pink Tights” Reagan, Neil Bush or the Obama tribe in Kenya keep those men from being elected president? Or does everyone feel that a female candidate should be held to a different standard for some reason?
Right answer.
I think you have boiled down the dilemma into one sentence. What I fear is that the Left will make use of this division through manipulation and instigation. I want to see Palin on top of the ticket and Romney as a supporter; not even second on the ticket; and not a sabotager or used to get his supporters opposed to her. I looks like a real complicated situation to make it work.
Did any of them say bad things to Carter, Clinton, Reagan, Bush, or 0bama before or during the campaign? I’m just pointing out what I think will be her Achilles heel. Don’t get me wrong. I like Palin, but I think it will be difficult for her to win when her son in-law starts to trash her again by throwing false accusations. In the environment where the MSM are happy to carry any negative information on Palin, at least her campaign will be busy dealing with those accusations.
Bingo!
I don’t disagree with what you are saying about the RNC and Sarah, but she is a great fundraiser and that is a primary responsibility of leadership. She could drain the South of all its cash by dinner time. RINO’s hopefully will fade, but meanwhile she would be no pushover for their agendas, and she would press hard for conservative candidates to recruit nationally and back financially. The broad political stage that RNC leadership offers would be invaluable for strengthening her even beyond her present base. You are right also that she is a player right where she is and no one I know disagrees with her themes, or her remarks on current events.
I should have said “students of history”, or self appointed historians. Here’s who I had in mind;like Perky Katy Couric, or even the fishwife Hillary. If Katy shattered Sarah’s chances to be broadly considered as presidential material, think what someone like a Hillary would do to her. Seriously, a sound bite or platitude wouldn’t suffice among the broader electorate, as in a debate war, and even Sarah seems to respect her own boundaries. She has not even attempted to circulate outside of the choir loft and until she does, she isn’t running for president, yet. She still has plenty of time left before she has to get back out there and mix it up on the field. Until then, she remains unproven. After she overcomes a jackal or two, I’ll be on board, but one can be right and still lose. No one is interested in Romney, btw. But for the depression we’re in, he wouldn’t get the attention he’s racking up right now. It just happens that finance was his best suit.
I guess the point is, I just don’t agree with you. I don’t know why Sarah did those early interviews where she was trashed, and you’re right, she didn’t handle them well. I think were she to do the dame interviews today it would an entirely different story.
>P>And I am tired of the “Sarah is great “BUT” posts.
Palin vs. Clinton would be epic. It would just be fun to watch.
