That being said, her inability or unwillingness (you must pick one) to endure and overcome a bunch of hack journalists and vicious state bureaucrats from the backwater that is Alaska by at least finishing her term as governor does not bode well.

Her decision to come down to the Continental United States to help create and lead a conservative movement was a great stroke for conservatives, and led the GOP to one of it's historic victories in 2010, victories that will serve us for many years to come.

In 2012 she was the only good news as the GOPe served itself a disaster in Romney and managed to lose the Senate, Palin gave us our only Senate seat pickup and gave us Ted Cruz in Texas.

Her decision to shift her energies to the national battleground and a national movement, has served us well.

...gave us Ted Cruz in Texas.

Everybody I know voted for Ted Cruz and it had nothing to do with Sarah Palin.

We thought he would do what he is doing...not be part of the establishment. Dewhurst had establishment written all over him.

That got Cruz elected.
