The Senate’s a dead-end for a young Conservative like Governor Palin.
Does she want to go through the media anal exam again? Put her family through that? The media would go after 10x harder if she was running for President.
OTOH, she has been vetted this past fall. Anything they bring up will be old news.
I continue to be surprised by how many “lifelong Republicans” say they didn’t like her and that she cost McCain the election. I don’t doubt their Republican affiliation and know that many contribute generously to the Republican Party. I respectfully disagree with them but am dismayed at the opinions of many who I consider mainstream Republicans.
