Actually the problem with Palin is she just punked all of her OWN SUPPORTERS.
You know, we really don't know when she decided not to run. It could have been at the last minute, or it could have been a long time ago. I think she's sharp enough to see that she was not able to expand her base and could not win in a general election.
I doubt as conservatives there is very much we could take issue with on her policy positions. From my perspective this election is such a great opportunity it would be shameful to nominate the wrong person and lose.
