Do you think Governor Palin would survive the intense scrutiny of a US Political Primary Season?

Can you imagine Ron Paul asking the Governor a question like he did Senator McCain?

Most conservatives are closet sexists. I doubt the Republicans would ever nominate a woman as a presidential candidate.

If they did, I imagine many of them won't vote for her in the general election. I call it the "Palin Effect".

When America has it's first woman president, it will be a Democrat.

You can bank on it.

No, and that is why I don't buy into the hype that she will be back to run again in 2012. I think there are plenty of other Republicans waiting in line for their shot to run and the people of her own part would eat her alive during the primary for the nomination.

Palin will run for senate after this and that's it. Her chances of getting the Republican nomination for president in 2012 are slim to none.

I would love to hear the long answer.

Hillary couldn't even survive the political primary season. And she's a seasoned, two term co-President. Palin would have been the Elizabeth Dole of 2000.

She would have so many forks sticking in her, she would have looked like an old Aluminum Xmas tree.

Yes, because as crazy as Obama supporters are, Palin's are even worse!

No and she didn't have to, so she faced it in the general election while the other three didn't. Not because of gender but because of newness to the national scene. She still hasn't released her medical records and that is not helping McCain today
