I think she would do far more good as a Republican-Conservative spokesperson, rather than a political candidate for national office.
This could set the stage for a 1994-esque take-over of both houses, and give some political focus to the SCOTUS appointments. She, on a daily basis, could take the wind out of the sails of Barry, David, and Rahm.
By quitting-and that's what it is. It doesn't matter how you spin it, she QUIT! She will never be able to duck the charge that they got to her and that she is a quitter. I don't blame her, that's her choice. She made it and now she's going to have to live with that choice. The article states that she did it primarily for her kids. OK, I can see that, but if you're going to be a factor on the national political scene, you have to be a bit tougher than that-not a slam at Palin just an observation on the nature of our political landscape today.
Anyway, I was thinking that too. Head of the RNC. Nice place for her to really have an effect on the way our spineless national party redefines itself.
