Correct. Let's move on. Palin is not going to be electable.

Yeah, you're most probably correct, and I hate it.

What bothers so many here (including me) is that Palin did next to nothing to put herself in that position.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. Palin was, and is, a breath of fresh air. She is just the kind of citizen-politician that the Founders envisioned. When I saw her acceptance speech for the VP nomination, I knew I was looking at a natural heir to Reagan.

But the McCain machine damaged her. And then the MSM damaged her. Too high a hill to climb now. It's very unfair to Palin, and it's unjustified, but it's just too high a hill.

I agree, I like her, but I think at this point, her unfavourables are too high. I understand why she quit being governor, but she needed to stay to gain that executive experience if she wants to run for president. Now the perception out there will be that she couldn’t hack it when the going got tough. That’s the way the dems would be most likely to play it if she were to run.

I completely agree. I really like the lady, but she is not going to save the conservatives. Maybe in the future... Just not her time this year.

Perhaps she should have spent more time brushing up her resume instead of going the celebrity reality tv route. A lot of the problem people have with her is the choices she made after she resigned.

If she manages to climb that hill, what will be your objection then?

Your tagline tells me all I need to know about you.
