I think Sarah herself might know that she's eliminated herself for the runnings, based on what she did with her last political position.

The main reason why it might not be attractive for her to run is that she'll make more $ in the political celebrity circuit. Her "rogue" status will take a beating if she seeks presidency. It just doesn't fit in this day and age. The global community will not be favorable about that candidate either and while it is Americans who vote, the USA IS part of the global community and having a leader with the skills to communicate with the rest of the nations and not promote domestic uproar is kind of important.

I'm not sure about that, to my amazement, I've heard the moronic voices of the right wing leadership: Limbaugh, Hannity, Ann Coulter, Beck, O'Reily etc. praising this Palin airhead, GOP is the "NO" party, after 8 years of the worst administration in history, they decided that their best bet is to not
work at all with the democratic majority, and oppose everything that comes, I think the GOP is doomed for many years.........

To much ego and still a lot of space to cover.

She didn't "quit". She did leave the governorship. There is a difference.

Quiting is walking away from a fight; giving up. She has done neither. She is fighting liberals harder than ever, and they are apparently taking notice; because people like you won't stop talking about her. That's a good indication that she is making a difference. She has you people scared to death. Right?
If it was a liberal in her same situation, I'm sure you'd be saying the opposite.

I sure hope that they have someone better than her or else they are in real trouble.

Don't think she would be interested as she is making to much money and we certainly don't want to see her do another interview, do we?

Sincerely doubt Palin will be in the running, could be appeased with a cabinet position. Romney/Jindal ticket may be in play for 2012. He is RINO, Jindal more conservative, so will catch most of the GOP and right wings. The far right may have no other option available, if they want this present Marxist out of office.

I am afraid if that were the ticket the Republicans would lose for sure, maybe big time. I love Jindal but I don't think Romney can pull off the nomination much yet win. He is a RINO, is seen as a loser after 2008, (hard to come back from something like that) and just doesn't have a personality to attract those undecided.

He may be what there is to choose from, well known, knows finance, has some appeal to RINOs and maybe Independents. Jindal used as trump card for the rest who are further right, who may not otherwise get on board. Hey, first Mormon and first IndianAmerican, since we as a PC culture SO into firsts at all costs....
