And you just "know" that if she runs, he will just automatically win?? And what, precisely, gives you this level of clairvoyance two years out from the election?? You "do" recall, that at a similar time point out from election, that Reagan had similar negatives, and the news media was painting him with precisely the same "brush" that they are trying to use on Palin?
Ronald Reagan was the Great Communicator.
Sarah Palin is the Incoherent Rambler.

Reagan was also the very popular 2 term Governor of the most populous state in the Union.
If Palin could carry California, then her election would not be a problem. But she can’t, and it is.
