Running for president is vastly different from running for any local and statewide election, particularly those in a low-population state like Alaska. Just take the one legality of getting on the ballot in all 50 states for the primaries. Do you think that happens by magic? Unconventional won’t cut it. A candidate must comply with the laws of each one of the states. Multiply that chore times hundreds or thousands of campaign chores, large and small, and perhaps you begin to grasp the challenge.

Right now Sarah Palin is more political gadfly than serious candidate. I keep waiting for her to fish or cut bait in this campaign. Then we’ll see.

Right now you sound like an out of work campaign manager who can’t find a candidate for whom to ply your skills...which after reading your bossy posts is perfectly understandble.

We'll see. Given her repeatedly demonstrated in-depth grasp of logistical necessities such as those you mention, and given my firm belief that she fully intends to win the White House in 2012 and has for some months now, I am therefore confident that she is more fully aware of all the various steps in the process than are either you or I.

From the differing State-by-State requirements and deadlines, to the actual boots on the ground needed to fulfill such demands, it is only the highest order of intentionally blind fool who would assume that she doesn't have all of those bases covered, or that she couldn't do so blindfolded with one hand tied behind her back.

I have seen the litter of political corpses strewn in the wake along Palin's ascending political path, and the vast majority were at one time just people who merely underestimated Palin's wherewithal.

Don't be that guy.
