I don’t seem to recall hundreds or thousands of articles, mentions, postings, references and asides about Vice President Quayle five years after he was voted out. If she’s been “Dan Quayled” why is the only political figure who gets more press than Governor Palin the chief executive of the world’s only hyperpower? If you can explain that to me, I’ll agree with you.
Quayle knew he was toast and didn't hang on long-term for another try at national office.
That being said, I doubt Palin will run. Bet Roger Ailes got assurances on that front before she was able to return to Fox News.
In the unlikely event Palin does run and becomes the GOP nominee, I'll vote for her in the general election.
