Outside of Republicans, she’s not popular at all. According to our NBC/WSJ poll, just 29% view her favorably, compared with 43% who view her unfavorably (not far from George W. Bush’s 29%-50% score). In addition, the poll shows that 52% have problems with a candidate who has been endorsed by Palin, versus only 25% who are comfortable with that attribute. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Palin is more of a political celebrity than a political figure. ~First Read
This is true, but there is nothing here about Palin that we know now that we didn’t already know a year or a year and a half ago. Her unfavorables among non-Republicans have gone up steadily since the Republican convention in 2008, and outside of a dedicated core of admirers and a few critics no one is taking her political chances seriously. This is the same as it has been for a very long time. As Josh Green notes, it would normally be absurd to think that someone with a 14-point favorability deficit was a serious presidential contender, and there aren’t that many non-partisans who think that she is anything of the kind. The reality is that the more independents and Democrats see of Palin, the less they like. In a country where these people make up at least 65% of the electorate, Palin is essentially unelectable in a general election. This isn’t a difficult call to make. The question to which we don’t know the answer yet is whether the GOP is so willfully blind to this reality and so bent on self-destruction in 2012 that the party nominates her anyway. For all of the reasons I have given before, I very much doubt that Republicans are this foolish. It is possible that the GOP will decide

Well, now. That's a start.
Someone qualified to be president should be sufficiently well educated to know instantly that the term best and brightest
is snarky shorthand for exactly the types who should not be in policy-making positions.
”It is all about marketing and Romney can be marketed
as a pro-business jobs creating candidate”
Not if truth is to reign.
This is politics, can you cite any examples of when truth reigns?
Get real, dude.
Reading is a skill. I have posted that I believe Palin will be the first female POTUS. I do not think that it will happen 2012.

My tagline use to read: "if you are getting heavy flak you know you are over the target"...and that was in reference to Sarah...'nuff said. :o)
Sarah Palin= Antidote to Communism
Please explain how here credentials make her presidential material?
You may start with her education
:::::::::::::::::
Her credentials and experience speak for themselves. As to education, she went to school. So did Ronald Reagan. George Washington had little education. Not fancy schools but that shows how important expensive schools are. For example, look what Harvard has given us? The Clintons and Obama, and many more horror stories. God help us.
Your statement is ridiculous. So qualification for president comes from how much money you spent to go to school, eh? No, sorry, it does not. Why don’t you attack Ronald Reagan then?? The last REAL president we had and we will not see another of that caliber in our life time. He got a bachelor’s degree from Eureka College in Illinois.
Qualification to lead comes from the person, the heart, and experience. The learning comes from real interaction with government and the ability to interact with, and read people. It comes from caring about your country, patriotism, and the desire to work and accomplish far beyond one’s own self for the people of America.
Whatever she decides to pursue, she already is making a significant contribution to preserving America, and will continue to do so. That is her goal.

What are you smoking? Did you see my post of the ideal candidate?
