I have a good list of Conservatives I would want to see as President, but the problem is, they cannot all be president and at some time based on a grid of multiple factors, one has to choose the very best one of them for THAT incredibly immense job.
Governor Palin is a wonderful person and top notch in my book; she would however be better suited for the time being as a US Senator for about six years, or perhaps a high level post in a Conservative Republican administration. (with minor agencies given to RINOs who will be in charge of phasing them out and then they themselves resigning).
I would put Palin in charge of Defense or National Security Council or maybe Secretary of State to give her much more foreign policy direct experience. This is to say nothing of her as a person (great!) or as a conservative (fairly clean with few doctrinal defects).
Absolutely

mmmm - former Governor of the largest state in the Union to junior senator from Alaska. Lisa Murkowski would really enjoy that I’m sure! Just doesn’t seem like a resume enhancer to me. Cabinet post - maybe but I don’t get the impression that’s where her interests lie. Fact is absolutely no-one “knows” what she has got planned so all we can do is guess and speculate in the blogosphere.
Nope.
Sarah is already an executive, and legislators rarely become POTUS.
You’re breaking my heart AIT. I love your other stuff.

Just because one was a good governor doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be a good senator. Look at Palin’s predecessor, Frank Murkowski. He was a decent senator, but a bad governor.
