I think that Mrs. Palin’s time has come and gone.
Not that it was her fault, but the timing wasn’t right.
Palin was unknown nationally until the 08 R convention which wasn’t until just 8 weeks before election day. The journ-0-lists were totally able to write her story in that period.
I’m not a fan of Cruz, but he’s in early and will have plenty of time to spar with the journ-0-lists.
