1) She is a great educator in regard to conservative principles.

She's a leader, anyone not 'learned in conservative principles' can watch how it's done. Others already know.

2) She keeps the national conversation focused - especially as it applies to keeping elected Republicans in line.

When she's in the Oval Office, those rino's will shape up quickly - they know her history, conservative values and work ethic.

3) The Tea Party movement still has work to do and Sarah gets the national exposure.

The Oval Office is national exposure and Sarah isn't the Tea Party leader, there is no leader. 'We the people' are quite capable of knowing what needs to be done in case you haven't noticed.

4) If she waits for another election, she will fit into the Republican system of it being “her turn”.

SARAH doesn't fit into 'anyone's system' - if so, she wouldn't be SARAH but just another politician. And that she ain't. LEADERS don't 'wait', they act - there is no time like the present.

5) Her family will be mostly grown up.

They have been growing up for years and the children are blessed with having a mom and dad. I'd say #5 has a sexist slant to it. Why didn't barry wait until his kids were older? I'd say, the 'concern' for her family is so 'not' touching. It almost gives a ring - that you are more concerned about her family than she is - and we all know that is not true.

All five were give a 'FAIL'!

I am a very conservative voter who supports Sarah Palin. I just don’t think 2012 is her time.

p. s. You might want to work on your people skills, as your response to someone on your own team (me) was borderline churlish.
