The author is way off, writing fantasies for the left.

...with a narcissistic personality, who’s short on knowledge, disinterested in policy discussion, and not ready for primetime...

Oddly enough, I would not describe Sarah Palin in these terms. However, they could very well, and very accurately, be applied to obama.

...to this day, she energizes the base as no other candidate can...

But then he contradicts himself with:

...she needs to change the negative perceptions of her and develop a political profile that appeals to those outside her narrow base.

First, I don't see many (any?) negative perceptions of her. How can she energize the base, yet have a narrow base? Tough sell, I'm not buying it.

To do this, she must gradually reduce her exposure...

Oh yeah, the libs and 'rats would like nothing more than to get Sarah Palin out of the public eye. She is everything they are not - a true leader.

...the base Palin relies on for support no longer holds the sway it once did.

Yet she energizes that base? An energized group of voters can do wonders...

...as well as the increased attention paid to gay rights issues shows that Americans have begun to cast their old divisions aside...

Yeah, just look at Prop 8 in CA. Most Americans are tolerant of gays and lesbians, but we don't want them shoved in our faces. (hey, I don't want my heterosexual friends' sex lives in my face either)

The future for the GOP lies with fiscal conservatism and strong national security policy—not with turning back the clock.

He really doesn't understand Sarah Palin, does he...

She is all about celebrity status and controversy.

Absolutely, 180 degrees off true wrong. obama, now he is his own biggest fan. Sarah Palin is about doing what is right.

In the lead-up to July 4, Americans usually reflect on their great democracy.

Tell that to the socialist with fascist leanings currently occupying the White House.

Overall, it is healthy...

No, not right now. This Country is in more danger than ... possibly more danger than it has ever been in before. The biggest threat to America is currently inside the beltway.

So is Palin a real possibility for 2012 or 2016?

Yes, to both. I predict two very successful terms for her.

...can she ever win? Based on what we have observed so far, I would say definitely not...

I foresee Sarah Palin in a landslide win in '12.
