She may run for the Primaries, but lose because you can't escape the fact that 75% of the nation believes she is underqualified to run for President. I don't think 2 years will change that.

The GOP will use her as a throwaway candidate if Obama is doing well in the polls. Unless you are Jimmy Carter it is notoriously difficult to vote out a sitting president.

I think they just might run her a VP in 2012. It almost worked in 2008 so why not? I figure the extreme right is losing control of the party and 2012 is their last chance to keep the looters in place. I figure they will run a Mormon or a Bible thumping preacher for the Christian vote and Ms. Palin for the mouth breather vote.

After all of that, as the economy will have gained substantial positive momentum, Obama will win with a different VP running mate.

As entertaining as Palin running for office again is, the other Republican candidates will beat her in the primary. She's done as an elected official, too much baggage.

Exactly. Even Palin probably knows that it will be better for her to continue enriching herself off all the gullible teabagger twits who follow her and pay $500 a pop to listen to her and to serve as an agitator.

John Kerry and John Edwards could beat that idiot in a landslide.

Isn't this like the 15th thread asking the same question since the last Presidential election? Still NO. Sorry.

the job simply does not pay enough to interest her. . . .

Typical, "Republicans are ... stupid"

Apparently you do not listen to the people in your own party. Have you listened at all to Nancy Pelosi? She has to be the most stupid woman in the world. Next to Pelosi, Palin is a genius.

Also try listening to any of the people who make up the Congressional Black Caucus, if you want to hear "stupid".

How about Harry Reid? Or, pick anyone you like in your party. These people make some pretty stupid statements on a regular basis. It is really a wonder that any of them got elected. But, maybe it's because Democrats are just stupid. Right?

Pelosi will not be the candidate for the simple reason that, frankly, I don't think she wants it. I think she feels she can do more good doing what she is doing. That's my opinion; but I could be wrong.

If she did run, I'd vote for her in a heartbeat; because she would be immeasurably better than what we are stuck with now.

Obama is a little man, with no skill (except the art of deception), and his only goal is the destruction of America. He couldn't care less about the American people, or our Constitution. He is after revenge.

It's a shame, that he apparently doesn't even care enough about his own daughters to see to it that they live in a free country where opportunity abounds, and they can be whatever they dream to be.

Obama is full of himself, is selfish, and he is nothing but an S.O.B.
