I agree w/ your assessment of her. I am just skeptical that she can win. You cant take the presidency without support from independents, and IIRC, her support among them has been going down.
Another consideration is timing. In 2012, voters will likely be regretting their support of an inexperienced candidate in 2008 and looking for someone with a lot of experience. 2016 might be a better time for her.
again, skepitcal....fine, please tell me why independents, that broke big time for conservatives/conservative viewpoints, in the november elections, would break bigtime against palin, who encompasses those views.
