I like and respect Palin, but I see five problems with her running for President in 2016:

(1) she has done a poor job of managing her political brand and has not expanded her appeal beyond her base within the GOP;

(2) over the last several years, Palin has not written articles and delivered speeches so as to display ideas and competence to lead the country;

(3) as Thatcher did, Palin should change her speaking voice so that it is slower and deeper, thus taming the fast, high pitched chirpiness that can at times make her seem a bit flighty;

(4) despite an avid following, Palin does not seem to have a large enough funding base to run for President; and

(5) she does not seem to have a reliable and capable set of advisers, instead trusting a small clique for guidance.
