So I have to conclude Sarah will have difficulty winning the nomination. For me, I still like her and think she can pull it off, but concerned that most people think they know her and have made conclusions that will be difficult to change. Flame away.

No flames Dave, just a reminder that Sarah Palin has not announced her candidacy and although those of us who support her like to read a 'yes' into any statement she makes about running, as long as her candidacy remains an open question it will reduce her recognition factor and even her support, to some degree. I believe that if Palin announces, starts making fiery speeches and sets out common-sense proposals to bring the U.S. back from the brink of economic destruction and social upheaval, her popularity will soar and the leftmedia's attacks will be blunted. Americans are very uneasy about the state of their country, Obama's 'historic' sheen has faded and Sarah Palin can change people's minds.
With Newt imploding, Huckabee, Daniels and Trump opting out of running and Romney saddled with 'RomneyCare' the field has narrowed. An announcement of candidacy by Sarah Palin would blow the whole thing wide open. I'm confident she would be able to raise huge amounts of campaign cash, giving some of the marginal candidates second thoughts about remaining in the race. We'll see.
