Palin shouldn’t run in 2012. There’s no guarantees that Obama will lose in 2012. Better to just focus on being Governor. By not running, she takes away leverage from the media and they’re left worrying about others. Jindal is nice but you know the majority of the South won’t vote for him.

I think it depends on how Obama stands in the second half of his term. If he is in shatters, as I expect him to be, the election will be Palin’s (or any other Conservatives) to win. 0bama has the hallmarks of an one-termer. But if he is strong and the economy fairly okay, we shouldn’t waste Palin, Jindal or any other good candidate. Jindal is still in his 30’s and will easily have a good position in 2020+. It’s way too early for him.

Well, if the economy doesn't pick up in another year or so, there is a great possibility Obama won't get re-elected. I think he must have a lot of shortsighted political advisers, because he really needed to have a bipartisan stimulus bill, and they went ahead without making important political compromises necessary to make the bill successful, IMHO. People can say what they want about Bush, but he was smart enough to realize that he needed bipartisian consensus when we went to topple Hussein's regime in Iraq...the issue was too important to not get both Republicans and Democrats to essentially agree on it. The same can be said of the stimulus bill, but Obama wasn't smart enough to gut the bill himself to get it passed by Republicans in Congress.

Now if the bill is not successful, every piece of bad legislation and every piece of pork is going to be shoved back in his face in 2012, and not even the Democrats will be able to blame the Republicans for that doozy of a bill.

BTW, why don't you think folks in the South would vote for Jindal?

John Zeigler, Palin ally and producer of the DVD “HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED”, says the media will do everything in its power to re-elect Obama and the damage the media did to Palin will not repair in 4 years. He sugguested Palin spend the next 8 years rehab herself and then run for President in 2016.

I think Palin should take Zeigler’s advice.
