“She deserves a great deal of thanks for all she has done so far but it will be easier to get somebody like Jim DeMint or Paul Ryan across the finish line than it will to get her elected.”
DeMint and Ryan are great, but they just aren’t exciting to anyone except conservatives, and even then, they mainly only excite the “anybody but Palin” conservatives very much.
Palin, as you say, is polarizing. That cuts both ways however. Those who “get” her, will be more passionate about her candidacy than anyone she could possibly endorse. Those who don’t “get” her, well, they mostly wouldn’t vote for any Republican candidate anyway. There’s not much room for sitting on the fence when it comes to Sarah, and I for one am willing to stake the farm that the American people will come down on the right side of the fence in this scenario.
Obama is also polarizing, and at this point, I think more polarizing than Palin will ever be. Will the media smears against Palin be enough to make people forget their massive anger at Obama? I really doubt it. If it turns out that it is, then maybe America deserves another four years wandering in the wilderness.

Don’t underestimate the stupidity of voters who believe the media hype. Many people hate Palin and they can’t even articulate why. They think she is uneducated and a poor leader.
They refuse to look at her accomplishments and just remember anything bad about her. It would be a hard nut to crack.
