NO. Just no.
First. She would make a good President but like Hillary in 2008 she just waited too long. She chickened out, her moment in history came in 2012 and she chose to stay on the sidelines.
Secondly, she is personally responsible for giving us 4 more years of Obama. She was the clear choice for conservatives, and she kept flirting with the nomination, doing tours and basically running an unannounced Presidential campaign. This robbed other conservative candidates of media oxygen and allowed Romney to dominate a weak and divided field. Romney gave us Obama. Thanks alot Sarah.
Thirdly her midterm resignation from governorship is inexcusable. She can’t handle Alaska, she will not be able to handle the US.
Lastly, liberals have a point about her being not the sharpest tool in the shed. Her heart is in the right place, she clearly loves America, but she does not have the intellectual heft of someone like Ted Cruz. She cannot go toe to toe with liberal journalists, Cruz can.
She should curb her ambitions and run for Senate in Alaska, I would send her money.
You live in a legalized marijuana state, I assume?
I don't know how many times this left-wing meme is going to have be debunked on FR before it finally dies. It keeps rising from the dead like some leftoid zombie.
Palin was being driven into personal bankruptcy by the dozens of frivolous lawsuits that were being filed against her. The laws in Alaska do not allow state monies to be used to defend the Governor from such suits, and there is no limit as to how many of them can be filed.
When concerned Americans reached out to help her with these costs, a judge declared her legal defense fund to be illegal, and it was closed. That left her and her husband with a nearly $500,000 legal bill, which continued to climb.
Not only that, she and her staff were spending the bulk of their working hours working on her defense, and not on governing the state of Alaska.
What would you have her do under such a suppressive circumstance? Destroy the basic financial stability of her family, and go completely broke in the process of defending these never-ending lawsuits?
When would the deep left have given up and let her be? When she was buried up to her neck in lawsuits, and without any means to pay for legal representation, that's when. They meant to destroy her personally, and as Governor of Alaska.
And all of this transpired AFTER she and McCain had lost the election!
Bless you.
I sometimes feel on this forum that if you aren’t an unabashed Palin worshipper, you’re lumped un with the loathsome people who so unfairly slimed her.
She’s a good woman. She believes all the right things. She was, from all I can tell, a pretty good Governor.
But for admittedly mostly unfair reasons, she’s toxic and can never, ever be elected president.
Only a conservative with an exceptional ability to explain conservatism from a real depth of philosophical understanding can hope to bypass the MSM and make our case to the American people. THAT’S why I think Newt, for all his other flaws, would have had a better shot at beating President Filth than Romney.
Cruz fills that bill. Rand might as well.
Sarah just doesn’t.

Sarah was muzzled by the McCain run and I’m completely convinced this is a woman who does not want that again...she loves the freedom she has to speak her mind and that without strings to others....though I’m sure she will support those who are conservative ahead...that is what she loves doing and shines in that capacity.
However...and administative position would be great...maybe in the oil arena...she sure knew how to get things done in Alaska in that respect.
