Palin scares the crap out of the *******s because she's not going to run like they are hoping but she will help make sure that Obama doesn't stand a chance at a second term.
Oh puuulease............. Palin is setting herself up for the "oh you really think i should run.... ok i'll do it because you all want me Tooooo" ploy.

You know the "i will do all i can to help" bit

She can't resist running for president. I, for one, will not enjoy it because I get tired of ignorant people spouting off about her, as if they know anything she stands for and not just some sound bites she records to fool the repubtards. Isn't it fun calling people names just like schoolchildren?

How can anyone NOT make remarks when a moron could have been a heartbeat away from POTUS.

Palin's future is a mystery. She is one of if not the most interesting persons in American politics.Yet the media assult on her, and a variety of unforced errors, have harmed her public reputation. And it is possible that this harm is beyond repair. Probably all Democrats and many Republicans do not believe Palin is qualified to be president.
It is hard to see how Palin could clear such a high bar,especially since she holds no public office. Maybe the only way to prove she is capable is to run a strong presidential campaign. But even that might not be enough, since the public understands that a good campaign is no indicator of performance in office.
Just look at President Obama.
Theres only two things for sure. Sarah Palin is not going anywhere, and neither is the press, bloodlust ferals that they are.

She has held public office but it seems her fans are unaware of how poorly she performed in office. She barely even showed up for work after she lost the VP, and was feeding off the taxpayer's dime flying her children around to non-state related events and had to pay it back. She basically stole some land in Wasilla to build a city sports complex and those taxpayers had to foot the bill for the years of legal expenses. Less government indeed! Palin fans, do your research!

Can't think of an incumbent president who won a second term with unemployment in excess of 7.4% or a Gallup job approval rating under 53%, can you?

If Democrats are pinning their hopes on Palin being nominated so their token boy toy can win in 2012, then the Democrat Party is in a sad state of affairs in my opinion. If Obama does win a second term, it will most likely have to be with a GOP controlled Congress. I see the Senate falling from the control of the GOP and then what will Obama do?

However, if unemployment stays as high as it is, which it will. There is no way Obama's policies can lower unemployment by 2% by next year. That is virtually impossible so this will probably be the nail in Obama's coffin, especially now since his EPA is pushing strongly to regulate so-called greenhouse gases and many independents, especially conservative leaning ones and some moderates, think it's bunk. I think 2012 will be one of those 51%/49% type races, with Obama getting 49% of the vote IMO. I can see him losing Virginia and Ohio in the Electoral College, and possibly Florida. If not Florida, then he'll lose Pennsylvania. So I think he might lose

"Palin Can't Win the Presidency"

Neither can Obama. He is one and done.
