I saw a bumper sticker this weekend in NC saying “Sarah/Unnamed 2012!!”
“Her selection to his ticket electrified the GOP base, and had Sen. McCain had even the slightest coherence of a clear message, he might have become president - thanks to the Palin presence as his running mate.”

True, and this with Cinderella arriving at the Ball at 11:30 PM.
No wonder the cowards on the left are scared $hitless of what she represents.
The Left is evil. Governor Palin and her family need an armed and manly, Free Republic Protection team.
Your graphic is nice, but Gov. Palin has a ways to go before I would compare her to Lady Thatcher (I apologize if I have her title wrong), although the Governor certainly has the potential.
Someone needs to tell Palin that she looks better with her hair up, than down. She looks like Ukraine PM
Only partly, it wasn't Sarah they hated, but Jesus.
In her favor, she isn't mired down with decades in Washington and the shadow of appeasement and corruption that usually brings. No, Sarah Palin hasn't warmed a chair on some droning congressional Foreign Relations Committee or taken 'fact finding' junkets overseas on the taxpayer's dime. That kind of 'foreign relations experience' is a crock, anyway.
As Thomas Sowell stated in a September 4th, 2008 column, no governor is going to have 'foreign policy experience'. Roosevelt didn't, Reagan didn't, and sitting on a Senate committee talking about 'foreign relations' doesn't count as 'experience'. The fact is that the sitting president makes U.S. foreign policy. They receive lots of advice, of course, but ultimately, the president makes the policy. Joe Biden didn't make foreign policy as a senator and won't as Vice President. Barack Obama will, and he hasn't any notable 'experience' in 'foreign policy' so let's drop that canard about Sarah Palin not having sufficient 'foreign policy experience', O.K.?
Sarah Palin is a committed conservative with great mass appeal. You can nitpick her all day long if you want (and some will, of course) but she connected with the country and I strongly suspect many Americans didn't much like the way she was attacked by leftists through the media. The fact that the left still attacks Sarah Palin, three months after she lost the election, tells us they are well aware and frightened of her appeal and are desperately trying to smear and denigrate her in the public consciousness to cripple her for a run at the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, when I expect most Americans will have long since cooled off on Barack Hussein Obama as 'messiah' and will be ready for some sanity in the White House and congress.
In 2012, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who'll be 46, will be familiar to most Americans and very likely have honed her already-impressive communication skills. The leftwing media attacks will be intense and she'll have to respond at some point, but with humor and wit, as Reagan (and JFK, for that matter) often did. Of course, Governor Palin may decide she doesn't want the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, but if she does, she'll have my vote.
If history is any guide (I'm thinking of the Carter years) nothing wakes people up to the idiocy of liberalism like getting hit in the face with it for four years.
