Do I detect a lingering case of PDS? You seem to have a certain degree of emotion attached to your analysis of Palin.
As for that analysis, it seems to be more viewpoint and reaction than anything else. That's fine. You're allowed to come to any conclusion you want, through whatever means suit you. I just don't see that you're applying much logic or reason to get there.
She's still the same threatening force to the left that she's always been, hence the negative commentary about her from the professional chattering class every time she raises her voice. If she were really a non player, she wouldn't be newsworthy. She also wouldn't have the ability to help good candidates win elections with her endorsements.
Whether she'll ever run for office again is anyone's guess, but if she does decide to throw her hat in the ring for 2016, she'll have massive support from across the country. She's got the 'right stuff' and the executive experience we need in a President. It'll take a reformer of her caliber to roll back much of the damage Obama's done (and will do).

No, in fact, I was really impressed with her when she burst on the scene and tried to “rescue” the McLame “Campaign.” And I thought it was nothing short of disgraceful the way the “McLame Camp” treated her, so I fail to understand why she has not distanced herself from McLame.
But at the end of the day, Sarah’s choices since that time have not done anything to strengthen her as a potential candidate, and sorry to say, a conservative woman will not play well with the bulk of women today, who by a large margin, are liberal and vote that way.
We would not have Obama today if it weren’t for Blacks AND women.
