Palin would be a disaster in 2012. I think highly of her, but lets face it: she is the face of the old GOP. The party will have to accept that the country has moved left and either move left with it or stay in the electoral wilderness.

She said this election shows the Democrats are not a centrist party and the whole country has given a referendum that it's OK for the fed government to tax and spend.
