I totally agree unless the GOP completely bombs in the 2010 midterms and Sarah is held the most responsible for the debacle.
Other than that scenario or a family health problem I believe Sarah should go in 2012. She will never be more popular or more youthful or full of energy.
Here time is now. And now with her time spent in the wilderness she will be able to hone her skills and work on a 24/7 to become a better politician in all various aspects.
So many factors are now in Sarah’s favor.
Moreover, I have a sneaky suspicion that all of this advice for her to wait until 2016 is not necessarily being made with her best interests at heart, but to try and put her on the back-burner in the hope that some other candidate more acceptable to East Coast RINOs (i.e. Romney) will somehow pull it off in 2012 and consign her to the dustbin of GOP history. That can only happen if they talk her into waiting.
