Lots of negative vibes here. I strongly support Sarah already but you are welcome to be skeptical. I just say that it is early. Hillary is America’s Ex-Wife. That was part of her being divisive. She was associated with Clintonian failures. That was another big part. Sarah’s divisiveness is based on what people have written, not on what she has done. Let her talk about herself over the next couple years. Listen. Then decide. In December 2005 who did not believe that the November 2008 presidential contest would be between Hillary and Rudy?
Hilary, sure. Rudy, no way. I never believed that Rudy - with all his personal baggage and his anti-gun & pro-abortion record - would come remotely close to winning the nomination.
But, I agree with the premise of your question, which is why I believe the nominee won't be the three most visible candidates today - Palin, Huckabee or Romney.
