The other two were (arguably) good at creating the appearance that they knew what they were talking about.

It's just a fact that she will get pegged as an uneducated hick no matter what. They will pick at anything, like the Bush 'gotcha' questions about who is Kenya's Interior Minister's secretary's dry cleaner? I don't expect this tactic to ever change. I'm just pointing out that it is disingenuous. Our current VP, a seasoned lawyer - Senator for over 30 years didn't know what section of the constitution describes the VP's role.

If she’s really aiming for 2012, she’d better get busy.

I don't know if Palin has her sights on 2012 or not. She may not be interested in playing an active role in national or state politics again. It's not up to me, or anyone on FR. But I've read all the criticisms about her. And I saw what she did for conservatives last year. And I can only offer this advice to her critics. George W. Bush faced many of the same criticisms. And he beat the democrats twice. Don't misunderestimate another 'hick'.

If Obama becomes increasingly apologetic about the results of his policies, that strategy will become easier. But there are limits to it, and the Bush administrations are the best illustration of why that's the case. Bush benefited from having Cheney around, but he was hidden away when the opposition vilified him. And yet Cheney just recently demonstrated how good he is at turning the tables.
