No one can ignore the accumulative ignorance of that woman.

Many on the right relate to it, and love her for it.

She would make the head of the ticket whomever that may be, 100% assassination proof, as Quayle did for Bush Sr..

She has become a phenome with some conservatives simply b/c of her snappy comebacks and down home folksy speech.

That is why she is suited to rally the crowds and speak at get togethers (Lincoln Day Dinners, for ex) but she has become even more entrenched as another Ann Coulter type. And I would think we would all agree - Ann Coulter has no business running for political office.
This. X100

Palin isn't going to run. She'll hint at it, but it will all just be a ploy to make more money from her various projects and speaking fees.

I don't think she's dumb... She's crafted a persona that is very marketable. She's not a politician though.

She's an entertainer. And I don't think she's exactly intelligent.

As the nomination gets closer Paln will fade within the republican party. She was flat out a poor VP candidate and hurt rather than helped McCain. Christie still leads overall :IMO.

"The accusations made news, but with another dismissal of an ethics charge last week against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential nominee has quietly been cleared of every ethics complaint filed since the torrent of allegations began in 2008."

Resorting to Chicago-style dirty tricks because your candidate sucks is nothing to be proud of.

How much Bush backlash was there? Enough to get Obama re-elected, I think. How much Obama backlash there is in regards to a Republican winning the Presidency entirely depends on the Republican party. The GOP has to capture a big bunch of the electorate that, so far, they have alienated deeply over the past decade and a half.
If you think Palin is the person who can do it, more power to her and you. Convince the GOP leadership, but you will have to talk Sarah into running first. That's going to be a lot harder proposition.

I don't look to see any of the earlier candidates on either side being nominated in 2016.
