i really think Palin is going to be damaged goods despite my fondness for her. she is going to be labeled as a quitter that could not cut it and i think that the squishy middle of AMerican politics will believe it.
if anyone can derail either Romney or Huckabee it will probably be some under the radar governor thats just my take who knows what will happen

The only people who believe that Sarah is a quitter are those duped by the crap shoveled by the Media, the DNC, and the supporters of 2012 Presidential Candidates that fear her.

Those that have actually listened to her speak KNOW this is not the case.

And now that she is free to speak her mind and spend a whole lot more time in the public's eye, more and more people will be able to hear her and it will counteract the negativity coming from the Media, the DNC, and the supporters of NeoCons and Moderates such as Huckabee, Rudy, Mitt, et. all.

Perhaps more vexing for Palin’s national political aspirations, however, is that 57 percent of Americans say she does not understand complex issues, while 37 percent think she does, a drop of nine percentage points from a poll conducted in September just before her debate with now-Vice President Joe Biden. The biggest decline on the question came among Republicans, nearly four in 10 of whom now say she does not understand complex issues. That figure is 70 percent among Democrats and 58 percent among independents.

You've got a big, big, hill to climb. http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/national/national_govtpolitics/article/palin_favorability_rating_drops_to_40_percent_poll_finds/281916/

“The only people who believe that Sarah is a quitter are those duped by the crap shoveled by the Media, the DNC, and the supporters of 2012 Presidential Candidates that fear her.”

This is what's scary. Palin supporters who won't, even at the slightest, acknowledge the elephant in their living room.

Sarah quit, you can spin it any way you want, but it will be hammered home every day by her opponents, the dims and the MSM. It will be a factor for many of the swing voters she would need to win a general election.

People on FR say she is damaged goods not because they don't like her but because they are realists and understand how the game of politics is played. But many Sarah supporters have blinders on and will continue to spin it or ignore this fact like it doesn't exist and denigrate people who bring it up until the train crashes.

I believe Sarah knows this and I think she is going to spend her time writing books, doing speaking engagements, maybe some television or radio, a website, etc. She's going for the gold and I although I don't blame her for me she jumped the shark when she quit her post while on active duty.

We needed Sarah to lead the revolution from WITHIN the game. She now is on the outside and while she can be a formidable proponent for conservative causes, she has taken herself off the main board for good.

And if she doesn't understand this then I will lose even more respect than I lost when she quit.

Lets assume for the moment that your statement is true in its entirety, which I don’t.... Reality is just that, reality. Thus Palin and her contingent must deal with the cards as they lie and are currently being played. Castigating others with differing opinions doesn’t bring one more vote to the table for Palin.

The Palin contingent must find a way to bring those duped people and supporters of other canidates to her side or otherwise she’ll be sucking hind teat on election day assuming she could get the nomination.

So what’s the plan? Moaning, groaning and castigating won’t win the day, imo.
