I don’t think Palin is running for 2012. She won’t get past the primary. Romney could say he finished his one term. Huckabee, Barbour, and Pawlenty could say they served at least two full terms.

and FDR served as President the longest, so that makes him a great president in your mind.

The only way that Sarah Palin does not get out of the primaries is if she loses to Romney. And the only way Romney can win is if:

1)Huckabee enters the Presidential sweepstakes and

2)takes away enough conservative/evangelical voters for Palin so Mitt can come up the middle in several states

NB:If Huckabee doesn’t run Palin has a clear view to the finish line because Sarah will always do better with thebase than Romney.

NB:The only way Huckabee can win the primary is if Palin does not enter the fray. If she does it is game over for him.

I think you are wrong there - she is running. This article brought some of that into focus for me. But personally I don’t think she will win the primary either.

ROFL. Then she will simply say "that's nice gentlemen, but I did more for my state in those 2.5 years than all of you and your multiple terms put together. It's not how long you eat at the public trough, it's what you get done for the public while you're there".
