Actually, this would be a dumb thing for her to do. Right now, voters are more than in a mood to give Obama a chance to do what he wants. Remember, they voted him in by a reasonably healthy margin. They want him given a chance. Being the “No” person is dumb as dirt during a Presidential Honeymoon period. Voters expect you to pitch in and help.
Now, over the summer, when the news is slow, that’s when you start making big policy speeches, but ones from the heart. Get some input from Heritage and AEI. Propose a massive armament program: point out that that’s what put Americans back to work in 1940. Draw distincitions and make Obama fight you.
But being the Whack-A-Mole Governor now would be irritating to the voters. If she popped up and yakkity-yak-yakked whenever Obama said something, that would leave him with the strategic initiative and her marginalized.
Patience. Timing is everything. People in the Base don’t get this.
Best,
Chris

You get it.
I still have doubts as to whether Palin can be “resurrected” in the minds of the middle, (uninformed voters). But, your plan is probably her best chance.

Against a who? McCain was washed up before he started. The only thing that kept zerO from taking all 50 states was Sarah, and many conservatives would not vote for mcCain if their lives depended on it.
“O” has failed in the first month of his presidency. That’s never happened before in the history if America.

Yep, she’ll bide her time, wait for Zero and his policies to implode, and point out the fallacies and failures of his policies at the appropriate time.
