I think she helped bring in the base, which just shows how doomed McCain was from the start. I have a favorable view of her as a person. But at this point, I am opposed to her being our nominee in 2012. I think she should campaign for our nominee, because she’s a good campaigner/stump speechifier, and I think she’d make a good Sec. of Energy, but I’ll be looking for someone else to support when the time comes. And it won’t be Romney or Huckabee.
Why?
Assuming McCain would have hired much of his staff into his administration had he won. I think we seriously dodged a bullet by McCain losing. He would have been an absolute disaster as POTUS. At least we can live to fight another day, McCain may have very likely killed off the GOP for good.
LOL. you just want to cuddle up to moderate voters dont you ?
You ever notice when we give the American public Diet Coke (Bob Dole, John McCain, Gerald Ford) we get pounded. But when we give them the real thing (Ronald Reagan Conservatism) we are able to win.
“And it won’t be Romney or Huckabee.”
We agree on one thing anyway. I think Huckabee has ended his political career by taking the Fox gig.
Romney? IMHO, Romney would split the party as badly as McCain did. Only problem is I don’t think there is a “Palin” type politician Romney could nominate as VP to reunite the party behind the ticket (they way Palin did for McCain.)

“But at this point, I am opposed to her being our nominee in 2012.”
What’s the nature of your opposition?
Huck + Obama = Doom.
