“Using polls to make your point two years out before she has even announced is ridiculous.”
Polls have nothing to do with it; she would have to undergo a major image overhaul, and learn a lot about the world, to have a chance. I think she was great; she helped the party in a big way, and I voted for her as VP. She is unable to handle a hostile press (which dems like BJ Clinton & B. Hussein Obama never have to), and therefore can be a PR disaster.
I don’t know if she’ll ever be on a ballot again, but I think she is a huge asset to the conservative movement. As I’ve said in another post, it is a shame that in all the attacks on her it is overlooked that she was the governor of a state: there are only 50 of them, less than senators or representatives, and that is no easy job for anyone (in any state). She’s already achieved more professionally than most people ever will.
Yes, well we could always hope that the sitting president gets an embassy overrun and then sends a failed mission to save them and then gives up on the attempts.
