I think Palin has had her fill of elective office. I don’t see her running for office ever again. What has she to gain by doing so?
I think she realizes that our country needs her and people like her. That is why she would run. If she is in the right place at the right time.
and she has a very good chance to get the nomination. And I don’t think the general electorate is against her overall. Some have questions and doubts, but middle of the roaders against her overall.
If she can pull them over in the midwest and take Florida. she could win.
In fact what they are seeing is in Pat's words:
"Though the media have painted Palin as a ditz, no politician in memory has conducted a more brilliant pre-presidential campaign," http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/06/hardball-chris-matthews-gets-it-right.html
