What’s the best road to the WH for Sarah Palin? Is it for her to run herself in 2012? Maybe. Maybe it is. And if she announces I will absolutely drop my support for Rick Perry and join her team, literally and figuratively.

I love Sarah, and think she would make a great president. With that being said, in the three years since she was on McCain's ticket, her negatives have actually gone UP among the general population, to the point where she has a 56% disapproval rating right now. She also has a near 100% name recognition rating, so it is not like there are a lot of people who don't know about her where she could significantly improve that rating.

I had hoped that she would be able to use the last three years to overcome the negative images that the MSM created during the 2008 campaign, but that does not seem to have happened. That being the case, I think her greatest contribution can be to help generate enthusiasm in the base for the eventual nominee and help fundraise, etc. I also like the idea that some here have proposed, that she run for Kyl's Senate seat in Arizona. That would give her a broader political resume' in 2020 to run for the top job.

I like that idea as well.

I personally think she could overcome those negatives, but I also think that she has to be thinking about them as she considers her options.

Kyl’s seat is a good option. I’d rather see her as VP, but she would sure do good work in the Senate. And the irony of her being Junior Senator under her crab-ass, RINO “mentor”...
