I completely disagree on your Palin ideas. It took Carter to give us Reagan...this was our opportunity to put up someone that was controversial and win big with that person. Then with a real conservative agenda our country would boom. And how much more could the press throw at Sarah? She weathered the storm and didn’t back down—until it came to running for President.
However, this shouldn’t be about Sarah, it’s about the 3 conservatives we have running and mittens. Either the conservatives get their act together and two of them drop out or we get stuck with Mittens. And if he does win in the general election we will be a left leaning republican party—unless we can use congress to keep him pushed to the right.

Nope. She Quit. She had too and the reasons why were entirely valid IMO. She probably wouldn't win the GOP nomination - I just have a feeling and I know for a fact she wouldn't win the general. Reagan had cross-domain appeal. Palin doesn't. In fact pretty much no politician of any type, party or ideology does. Reagan was the last great politician. Everyone else since has been a wannabe and yes that includes Palin.

I agree. This isn't about Palin's little tease over the summer and into the fall. This is about how the GOP has found itself without any stars in the making because their "leadership" ignored the farm system, to borrow a baseball analogy, from 1999 on.
