Historically, early frontrunners for a party nomination usually do not end up being nominated. Gov Reagan was not the frontrunner in the year he won the nomination. IMHO Gov Palin may not be the GOP nominee if history repeats itself, unless the times we live in do not follow conventional rules. I think it will be someone else.

Isn’t the clear frontrunner Mitt Romney?

The times we live in are not conventional, and Palin is not the front runner because she is the party establishment favorite or because our elites see 2012 as "her turn". Her genuine grassroots support could make a difference. I don't have my heart set on "Palin or nobody", but I am a firm believer in "Palin or someone even better!"

regardless, I think Sarah Palin should be placed in a very prominent position in the next Conservative administration.

You were saying ...

Well, in case you haven't noticed Sarah Palin is not the front-runner with the GOP Party machinery ... LOL ...

She's only the front-runner with the rank and file conservative in American -- and here we're talking about two different things ... :-)

“IMHO Gov Palin may not be the GOP nominee if history repeats itself, unless the times we live in do not follow conventional rules. I think it will be someone else.”

The Republican establishment thinks Mitt Romney is the leading frontrunner...... it’s the grassroots Repblicans that love Sarah......so where does that leave us?

Its Mitt whose star will fade in Republican establishment circles.....I think Sarah will still carry the day for herself....
