Actually, in hindsight it was a mistake for Sarah Palin to be on the ticket in 2008. If she had been allowed to remain Alaska governor, she would have easily won a second term, and had built up an outstanding record on fiscal and energy policy, as well as government reform. And if she had spent a lot of time preparing herself for national issues (which she had not done), she would have walked away with the GOP nomination in 2012 and kicked Obama's ass in the election. She was the conservative Godsend we were hoping for.

Instead, she got thrust upon the national scene before she was entirely ready, and then the scumbag liberals exploited Alaska's ethics laws which require a public official to pay for their own legal defense bills, essentially forcing her from office (will also acknowledge that the large sums of money being thrown at her in conjunction with this helped make the decision to resign; doubt she would have resigned just on the money alone). Like Dan Quayle, unless she seeks lower political office to rehabilitate herself politically, she will never be a credible presidential candidate.

What a tragic loss for our nation.

I was in agreement up to this point in your post. I can't get past the impression now that you are salting the thread.

I totally disagree.

Palin may, or may not, run in 2016.

But she was not the problem. The GOP has (badly) handled both of the recent elections.

It seems to be she is tending toward staying with her kids in 2014.

However I think we might be seeing much more of Sarah Palin in 2016, and beyond.
