Ruining herself for what? She can be a spokeswoman and advocate for conservative causes but she is not electable to the WH.

Admittedly she is no HW Bush, Bob Dole, or John McCain, but she can definitely win the Republican nomination and be the Republican candidate for President.

But can she win? You named three well-respected, experienced Republican candidates: only one made it to the Presidency. If we believe in what we hold dear and value, we need to find a candidate who can do two things. 1) Stand up for what we believe; 2) Win.
Ms. Palin can do the first, very well. I do not believe she can do the later.

She's good, but she's no Reagan...yet

I just realize that some people may not have caught my sarcasm, I forgot that some people may like those three guys, I don't, Palin is far superior to any of them.
