I can tell you that in the county GOP office where I volunteered, we couldn't even beg people to take lawn signs before Sarah was named to the ticket. After that, they flew out as fast as we got new shipments in.
Our county, which voted narrowly for Walter Mondale in the Reagan landslide of 1984, voted for the McCain-Palin ticket by nearly a 3-2 margin. And it wasn't because of McCain.
She would beat Hillary in a landslide.
IF she ran.

See my tagline.
My list has shrunk a bit. Cruz, obviously. Palin without question. But Rand seems to be determined to self destruct. Palin is a political genius, and if anyone doubts that start adding up all of the new reps and senators who owe her for putting them in office. Cruz is on that list. Her coalition will be rock-solid and permanently in her corner.
I value her influence and moral inspiration, but a Presidential run for Sarah in 2016? No. Not now, maybe in eight to ten years, enough time to reintroduce and reinvent public style. But for now, I’m. not buying a ticket on this Spinning Teacups Ride. I’m still recovering from the sudden whiplash stop from 2012.
I think she’d be a fantastic POTUS - in fact I believe the reason they trashed her so mercilessly is that they knew from her term as governor that she’d destroy the establishment gravy trains - both left and right. Of course this would thrill We the People beyond comprehension.
But this is my opinion and too many powerful people are against her. A couple of weeks ago when Ryan came out with his budget that Sarah criticized for being too slow to take effect, some older supposedly serious intellectual guy on FOX said with a snort - “Sarah Palin can’t hold a pencil to Paul Ryan”. Odd...seemed to me she had a point. But immediately she was dismissed as an idiot by the panelists.
As wrong as it was, it would be incredibly difficult to overcome what was done to her reputation.
HA!
You certainly live up to your name.
“HA!

Thanks
The gov hasn’t been tried and failed, she’s been considered too hard and not tried.
She won’t run. And if she does run, she won’t win. There are at least half a dozen Republicans who want it more than she does and they’ll destroy her in the primaries.
Truth is that if a person has no machine in place by now, they will not be able to run successfully. Without big money suppliers they are doomed to lose.
Remember 2012, many tried but ran out of cash.
I go to google to try and find that cartoon of Sarah Palin’s “Executive Experience” shoes from 2008 and I must say, there were literally hundreds of very HATEFUL anti-Palin editorial cartoons published. So, I decide to look for some about Hillary...very few.
