Disagree. IMO, Palin is an airhead and I am a Republican.

I haven't read any post but the one from the OP. I chose DISAGREE, because she is a quitter.

Can we have a dash of reality in this thread?
Sarah Palin won't ever run for national public office again. She might run for a state position in Arizona if she was to declare as a resident there, but she won't ever run for another position in Alaska. The possibility that she may run even for a state position is doubtful.

The fact is Sarah's best shot at entering a Presidential race came in 2011, when she was at the height of her popularity early in that year. If she had truly wanted to enter the primaries, she had the money and the connections to put a serious staff together, time enough to learn what she needed to know, and plenty of early support to carry her along.

But she never accomplished any of that. Instead, she made herself very visible with her trips to Philadelphia, her 48 state bus 'vacation' was aborted halfway through, and she had her moment on the Harley ride with the bikers, but all of was just playing cute.

When her time for serious campaign planning was squandered, and her flirting was at the end of it's rope, she was finally forced to say she would not run. Nothing she had done for the 9 1/2 months previous to her announcement showed any serious determination to attempt running for the highest office in the world.

Nothing she has done since then has shown any evidence of ever entering the public arena again as a candidate.

Her life outside public office has been much better for her than any of the time she spent as a public official. She's wealthy now when she wasn't before, has gotten her job at Fox back, and can say anything she wants, when she wants, with no consequences to her present career as a commentator. She faces none of the pressures of public office, and can do just as she pleases now.

Why would she even want to run in 2016? Does anyone think the harsh divisions we are now locked into are just going to evaporate once these present crises have been resolved? Who would want the job after 3 more years of this?

Certainly not an over-sensitive woman with a reputation for quitting. I'm not sure she even loves her celebrity like she once did, but it's easy compared to all her other choices, and as long as the money keeps rolling in, she will grab every dollar she can.

There is nothing wrong with that, and she knows it won't last forever. By the time she eventually fades away, she will be all fixed up securely and can spend the rest of her life in contentment.

You just wait Mike, in 2014 & 2016 she'll be on tour again looking for bucks $$$$$ and maybe pushing a new book, in her nice bus.

What would you have done if those frivolous court cases were costing you tens of thousands of dollars? Would you have stayed in office?

Really?

Sarah's voice is much more pleasing than Hillary's screeching voice! Let's compare:

Hillary


Hillary Clinton's scream updated - YouTube

Sarah


Sarah Palin Speech at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally - Part 1 - YouTube

Tell me again how "terrible" Sarah's voice is?

That places Palin 502nd on my list.

There are 100 Senators who at the very least know that the Vice President doesn't run the Senate.

That places Palin 602nd on my list.

There are 300,000,000 Americans of whom I have to believe at the very least 10% have an IQ above a the wattage of a light bulb which puts Palin...

I think you can see where this is going.
Nowhere. You have no point. Random trivia does not make an argument.
