True but she won't win a national presidential election.
So maybe a run for Senate is what they are looking at.

The media attacks against her will backfire enormously. They made her the Anti-Obama when a majority of Americans was enamoured with Obama. In four years Americans will beg for an Anti-Obama. Obama's disastrous policies and his dependance on his "star status" which will have worn off by 2012, will sink him. He can't run on Hope and Change again.

The only way they could win is through massive fraud.

Re: “True but she won’t win a national presidential election”

It is amazing that even conservatives don’t seem to understand that there has been no such thing as “republican” since the 17th amendment took effect.

Republican and Democrat are terms use to avoid using descriptive labels for political philosophy. The battle is about whether there is such a thing as individual freedom as opposed to collectivism.

I suspect that if we hang our future on the selling a Vassar accent, Bella Abzug beauty and a Berkley brain, we aren’t gonna get er done!

Ronald Reagan was lampooned as a amiable dunce, Bonzo up past his bedtime, B grade actor, etc. No other president since the civil war has done as much long term good for the country. His reelection was the greatest landslide in the history of the US.

The antipathy of the press and the “trueblood” democrats was just as universal toward Reagan as it is toward Palin. If he had been running in 2008 instead of 1980 it would have been just as vicious.

Everyone who has had any experience with her says Palin is very smart and a quick study. She almost certainly has more knowledge of energy policies than any individual in congress.

We need to first get our heads straight. The country is on the cusp of sliding into the abyss. If the american public can’t be convinced to vote for a conservative candidate who tells the truth, what’s the point of trying to run some “better red than dead” compromise in an attempt to pick off a few wishy-washy socialists (democrats)?

If we try to run a candidate that will be acceptable to the MSM we will lose for sure.
