Well she isn't going to get the Democrat vote anyway. No Republican would (except possibly Romney). She's going to have to bring her negatives among independents up though.
I have said this over and over to the Palin cult - “populist stance”. We need a conservative and NOT a “populist”.
Palin has the one great thing going for her that Romney/Rove, et al, just don’t understand and never will. She has the support of the God-fearing, Life & Liberty loving American people.
A Brit quoting Frank Rich.
Punt.
Alex Spillius has a terminal case of PDS. His columns are all the same.
It's the general election that she has to worry about.
Nationally, she has high negatives.
That's the challenge.
Simply throw a freshly field-dressed bull-moose head into the ring...
After all, this slide into tyranny acquired it's first major impetus with the first progressive/closet-marxist President.
Sarah Palin is the only one who stands for liberty straight up if she cant defeat a Marxist for president who is destroying this nation intentionally then America no longer deserves to be free.
It cracks me up when people speak to presence, gravitas and debating skills.
How are those qualities going to save America?
How about lets start with principles such as, love of country and the reverence to our constitution as founded, then work our way down the gutter to what the inside the beltway elitist think?
I’m not sure she can pull it off, but the shrieking liberal media seems to think she can, or they wouldn’t become so hysterical at the mention of her name.
If she can’t win Indy and Moderate voters she can’t win. You don’t win the Presidency with just conservative voters. And she does have an image problem with Indy voters. Thats just the fact.
It is the mid-1970s and Margaret Thatcher's aides send for a voice coach. The rest is history. The Conservative leader ditches a voice that could strip the paint off the door of No10 for something deeper and more resonant. It might still make small children cry when it booms out of the television and cause Whitehall buildings to crumble when raised in anger against a cabinet “wet”. But there is no doubt that this voice has authority. Thatcher goes on to win three general elections.
What does she need to win? Probably about 1200 delegates and 270 electoral votes.

I love Palin but I think Pence will be the nominee and clobber the dem nominee. He is a solid, no nonsense, no drama, conservative.
I think that Palin can win the GOP Primary without breaking a sweat, but she has to overcome negatives with independents to win the general. Plenty of time for that.
The standard I hold Palin to is Margaret Thatcher.
And, frankly, there is no comparison at all.
