Eh, I like Palin but I don't think she'd run in 2012 unless it was obvious that A) Obama was not going to run again or B) he was doing so poorly that it was going to be an easy win.
Sitting presidents are hard to unseat... she'll wait until 2016 before making any real big moves. Give herself another 4 years of being a "kingmaker" before trying to take the crown herself.

That ought to be plenty of time to do her homework and surprise the Dems that she DOES know her stuff.

I don't understand the constant focus on Palin and the things that have been said about her..but it sure has been an eye opener for many in this country when other republican females are treated in the same fashion. Very disturbing  Do you think that the Dem's are scared that the first female president could be Republican? Not that I support her for that...just wondering. Whether she's as stupid as they say or not, I just don't understand the Dem obsession with Palin...
Palin is the most visible GOP right now so she becomes the dem target. There is no real "leader" of the party. It's not Bush or McCain for sure. Huckabee has a talk show but he's not creating any real buzz. Same for Pawlenty or Romney. If you're a GOP and want some media attention for your campaign along with $$$$, you hire Palin to come to have photo ops with ya.

Exactly - just like Democrats running for election want to be seen with Obama.
Oh, wait . . .

Compared to Biden? The man is a buffoon. His 1988 try at the White House was killed when he was shown to have plagiarized a Neil Kinnock speech.
As opposed to Reagan, who wrote his own speeches since 1945 (look up Reagan's words about Kazuo Masuda, I find it a remarkable insight into the future President). He wrote his own speeches until the White House, only because there were too many to write personally. And even then, he would edit the speeches, sometimes over the objections of the State Department (Tear Down This Wall).
Or John Edwards?
Or Al Gore, 'nuff said.
She's not my first choice, but to her credit, she shows good instincts, and had more executive experience than the current occupant of the White House.

Rove didn't question Palin's "suitability" he questioned her electability

I think we've learned by now that in this country, anybody really can be elected president.
Whether they should be is something we don't usually discover until after.
Of course Palin can win, and who knows? Lots of people dismissed Reagan, Truman and guys like that. I didn't think Obama had a prayer in hell. My sticking point is that people I know and respect - and who know something about that office - are Palin critics, at best. One of the most prominent says she's dumber than dirt - and he's a Republican. Of course, she may have educated herself in many ways since their past dealings.
It's also interesting that some of our best presidents have been both unsuited and unelectable. Lincoln, for starters, was considered a hick baboon. Before Yorktown, Washington was thought a failure by many in the Continental Congress - and nearly made king less than ten years later. Who could have predicted that a polio victim would be elected to four terms? Things have always changed quickly in politics.

Obama's 'credentials' and electability were in the same range as Palin's....
I think she would have been a much better president if only for the fact she loves this country....Obama...not so much

In my case it has nothing to do with the MSM, it has to do with her resigning as Governor. I know her reasons, just don't agree with them.

I think that Republican's should take a page from the left, specifically NPR, and fire Karl Rove. Demonstrating that if you get out of line, you shall walk the line.
It at least used to be the American way, that eveyone gets to speak their mind, and everyone else gets to make up their mind.
It has always been the Red Pinko Cimmie b****** way that if you get out of line, we will declare you to be phobic, send you to the mental hospital, and give you mind altering drugs, for your own good.

Palin is not the most intelligent politician for certain, but some of the Presidents with the most native intelligence have been disasters, Carter, Nixon and Wilson come to mind. Some with only slightly above average intelligence have been thought of well by history Truman for example. A President needs wisdom more than raw intelligence IMO; Palin is weak in that area also, but is a female Solomon compared to the Turd that currently occupies the office.
Palin is dismissed by the Elites of both Parties because she didn't attend the proper schools and has not moved in the elite circles that they have. If Palin had attended Yale, Princeton, Harvard or similar, regardless of her intelligence she would be more acceptable to them.
I know this is silly, but the one thing about her that turns me off the most is her accent, her voice grates on my nerves.
