You mean like a community organizer? That kind of relevant leadership experience?
I think Sarah Palin would lose to Barack Obama, period.
Here is the punch line. I love Sarah. I think she would be the best President we have seen in many, many years. She would DO something about the border, taxes, unions, ObamaCare, etc.
The Media controls a vast portion of US society and frankly, many people are non-political out of apathy, disgust or merely a lack of knowledge. They eat pizza and watch American Idol, believe in global warming, get their lip pierced and listen to Lady Gaga.
The Left claims Sarah is dumb, the funny part is that the Left’s implicit and explicit strategy is to keep people uninformed, scared and dependent.
Welfare is not designed for compassion, it is operant conditioning to create a need for Government. Sucking in the lowest rung of society onto the dole creates a power base that votes Democratic, not out of philosophy, but out of economic necessity. Schools do not teach critical or objective thinking and the more people need Section 8 housing, food stamps, welfare and Medicaid, the more power is usurped from the people to Government.
In effect, Government creates its own artificial gravity that gives people a basic existence, working or non-working and the need, via open borders and unions, to keep themselves in power.
Eventually, it becomes the USSR and everyone realizes there is nothing produced, so the place falls apart.
No, man, you're falling for the Left's propaganda. That's just what they want you to believe...
If unemployment hits 15 percent or so by the time the 2012 election comes around, the GOP could run a head of lettuce for president and still beat Obama.

If your premis is valid, then this past election should have gone Zero’s way. The press was surely carrying vast amount so water for him, and Nancy, and Harry. And despite the fact that Nancy and Harry both made it out alive (Harry - barely), a vast majority of their acolytes in Congress fell.
And fell hard.
The MSM is being marginalized. They know, the Dems know it, and you need to see it. The TEA party didn’t rise up on the backs of the MSM, but in spite of it.
The game has changed!
And the old timers are scared shitless!
As for Sarah taking on Barry directly? Consider: they were comparing her to him in 08 when she was the VP candidate!
Think about that.
If they were both on the same stage, Barry with TOTUS and Sarah with a few words scribbled on the palm of her hand, who do you think would win the day?
I’ll place my bet on the Momma Grizzly.
She speaks from the heart. Barry doesn’t even know what that means, nor do the people scripting TOTUS.
