That never happens with Republicans. The GOP doesn’t pick unknowns. McCain, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, Reagan, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Nixon, Goldwater. Goldwater was the closest to being an unknown. W was somewhat unknown, but had the Bush name. Palin is the natural leader of the GOP right now.

Not after resigning.
She's now less a GOP leader than Mark Sanford.
