Palin is no Ronald Reagan. Many people have problem with a woman President including most women. It is just the nature of the American electorate and the nature of women. Palin is a damaged good after this election and she knows it.
That's twisted logic. They didn't seem to have a problem with a black Marxist.
I disagree.

What about the nature of men? They did take old Hillary down a peg now didn't they. Sarah Palin represents strength and lives it. Too many American women have become so Oprahized all they want to do is lay on the couch and talk to their shrinks.
Then you have the men who have been brought up to believe that God put woman on earth for them to dominate. They believe that it was God talking when it was Adam that said that woman you gave me God made me sin.
“Many people........including most women.” “...and she knows it.”
Most women? During the elections, did you work for any polling organizations? Can you read minds?
You’re sounding like one of those “people” who are having a problem with Gov. Palin.
With the way the MSM continues to disparage Gov. Palin, you’d better believe they’re concerned about her future political career. She’ll kick the pants out of Obama.
Your most recent comments have just entered the realm of obsurdity.
Fine. I'll settle for a Maggie Thatcher.
Get lost! You are a typical example of the sneaky RINO scum idiots who voted for obama.
First of all, saying someone is no Reagan isn’t exactly an insult. No one is another Reagan.
That said, while some may have a problem with a woman President, I dont think that matters much. The exit poll showed that Hillary would have gotten an even bigger margin than Obama. I don’t think anyone doubts that she would have won if she had been the nominee instead of him.
She still got close to 47%, 57M+ votes and won 22 states, and within less than 1% of winning IN and NC, less than 2% of winning FL. Compared to the last woman on a nat’l ticket she did far better. If the economy hadn’t tanked in September, things would have been a lot different. With more experience, seasoning and accomplishments under her belt as Gov in the next few years, she’ll be in good shape.(Not that she isn’t already in good shape, at least per that WSJ article about how she runs 7 miles a day, and looking how she did so soon after giving birth)
So I don’t think you can say being a woman really hurt her all that much. McCain did better among white women in FL, for example, than Bush did, and in a few other states as well, so she helped him there. McCain did only slightly worse among white women than Bush in 2004 and he did better among white women than Bush did in 2000, Dole did in 96, or Bush did in 92. I think Palin was a big reason for that
I agree she certainly has some repairing to do of her image, but that’s done all the time. I mean, it’s not like she’s friends with an anti-American hate-filled, racist preacher, a fmr spokeman for the PLO, and a domestic terrorist mastermind and his wife among others.
It’s a lot easier to develop and push your own agenda and ideas than it is to have to defend someone else’s like McCain’s. It’s easier to develop ideas in opposition to Obama and the dems than it was to have to constantly defend those Bush. Just like it was easier for Reagan to go after Carter in 1980 than it was for him be saddled with Nixon and Ford in 1976.
History is filled with people who made comebacks. FDR was the losing VP in the biggest defeat in US history in 1920. We all know what happened with him. Nixon was given up for dead after 1960 and his loss in the 62 Governor’s race. Reagan made a brief run for the nomination in 68 and a longer one in 76, losing both times. People thought he was finished in 1977.
Palin is only 44. According to the exit poll she has a 78% approval rating in AK, even after all that happened the past two months. She has plenty of time and plenty of opportunities to build on what she has already and pursue further opportunities if she wants to.
This year like 76 and 92 was one where the public got tired of the GOP and disgusted with Bush and wanted a change and a fresh start. In the end, that desire was probably too strong to overcome, although I think if the economy had stayed the same as it was when McCain took his lead in mid-Spetemebr, he would have a decent shot of winning instead of no shot of winning.
Four or Eight years from now if people get sick of Obama and the dems and they mess up and things go bad like they did under Bush, Palin will have a great shot. Heck, Hillary was 60 this year. Palin won’t be 60 until 2024. She won’t be Reagan’s age in 1980 until 2032, or McCain’s age until 2036. There’s plenty of time for her.
