Certainly not a pariah. More like a wasted opportunity. America needs her. I believe she knows this. Whether or not her calling is to run for POTUS or to support specific candidates is her call. But again, IMHO, she would do the most benefit running. Then again, who am I, just a guy on the sidelines, taking care of my family, talkin' on a message board...
There’s certainly been more fire than light shed on these debates lately, that’s for sure. I would hope that if she decides against running, those who love her now will continue those strong feelings.
My sense is that she could have had it in a walk had she decided to go for it several months ago. Now it’s more complicated and I DO think she feels an obligation to her children, especially Trig.
Imagine life in the White House. I can’t think of a much worse situation for her and her family, to be honest about it. It’s a virtual prison. When I watch her in interviews from Wasilla, I can’t imagine why on earth she’d want to leave there, much less for DC. (well, except from December thru March but now she’s got a home in AZ).
