You may want to tell that to the other undeclared candidates. I think they may have missed that memo.
Perhaps you're unaware that Sarah Palin has been asked and offered her opinion on a host of major issues in her position as a Fox News analyst by FOX News commentators and anchors (as well as a few 'mainstream' outlets) and has been doing so for well over a year. No potential Republican candidate has proposed a detailed program to address the economy (or other major issues) but most have, like Palin, offered broad-based solutions. She has been a very vocal advocate for drilling for oil on U.S. land to help offset our dependence on 'foreign oil' and she has recently urged a 'no-fly zone' over Libya, long before Obama and the U.N. agreed to it.
The conception that Sarah Palin has been relatively silent on her ideas for how to address the major issues of our time, including the economy, is absurd. That Palin (and other potential GOP presidential candidates) haven't spelled out very specific, step-by-step proposals is typical a good 18 months prior to the actual campaign and is hardly the lapse in gravitas you seem to believe. Unfortunately, this thread has devolved into a Palin-bashing fest and serves no real purpose so, I'm done with it. Think what you will.
