The Republicans could run an aardvark and win.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

There are now at least three movements within the Republican Party (albeit with significant overlaps): the GOP establishment (who are driven by business interests), the Christian Right (who are primarily driven by social conservativism) and the Tea Party (who are driven by tax and scope of government).

To whom does the party turn for its nominee? The bitterness of the nomination battles this year are nothing in comparison to what will happen in the coming year and 2012--they will make Obama vs. Clinton look like a picnic.

And once the nominee is chosen, then the question will become how that nominee resonates with the electorate, and most importantly with the swing voters who will actually make the difference in determining which states are the battleground states, and what the results will be in those states.

All of this will be compounded by the fact that the Republicans are now in control of much of the legislative agenda. If the party fails to deliver in the House, then the Democrats will be able to paint them as ineffectual, and not capable of governing. If they are successful, thought, then they deliver the keys to the White House to Obama for a second term.

This isn't 1992 all over again--it's 1996 all over again.

Why would she want to be president when she can continue the easy life of cashing in on book deals, speaking engagements, and trashy reality tv shows.

I'm not too worried. There's no way she'd take a pay cut.

I think Huckabee, the guy who thinks earth is 6000 years old, would stand a better chance anyway.

I think Palin exemplifies the quote:

If you study history you'd realize that they thought Ronald Reagan was nothing more than a joke too. The left underestimates her, and their continued attacks on her children has even ticked off John Stewart.

Also the more the left attacks her the more popular she becomes, it wouldn't surprise me if she does end up becoming President if she decides to run. She probably can't do any worse than Obama.

Er... Yes, she could.
This woman seems to take pride in being intellectually dull. After McCain's handlers discovered she had not read up on the books and articles she needed to be versed in, she explained she had been too busy reading emails by "her prayer warriors." Seemingly, the right in this country has bought hook line and sinker their own crap of religiosity, and the idea that being an intellectual makes you an elitist - as if that's somehow a bad thing.
Obama, on the other hand, has a gigantic brain, and only is hitting the skids right now because he had been left a colossal mess by his predecessor, and because the Republicans have made it their top priority to obstruct everything he is working for.

Meaning, her own delusion that she can beat Obama will bring about her own downfall. Hope that is more explanatory.

That's what the far left says they believe anyways. However many in the far-left suffer from a condition known as Palin-derangement syndrome similar to Bush-derangement syndrome in which one has an irrational loathing of Sarah Palin. Symptoms include bizarre rants, strange fixation on the person they say is so stupid her opinions shouldn't be taken seriously, etc.

Heck even Jon Stewart is now saying enough is enough as far as the attacks.

This has nothing to do with left or right. This has to do with the fact that she does not have the aptitude to be the president of the united states. There are plenty of republicans who do.

Concerning Obama, I don't think it is fair to judge that he has done poorly as president simply because he has not been able to quickly turn the country around. Presidents have limited powers and are limited in the tools available to them. Even absolute dictators cannot make a country economically prosperous just because they want it to be. The economy is a beast that doesn't answer to one man.
It's very rare that any president has been in a position which enabled them to make swift economic turn arounds.

It's also much easier to make negative changes to the country than positive ones.

Likewise, a president should not always get the credit for a good economy.

She hijacked John McCain's campaign and alienated a lot of his supporters. She clearly was not a team player when she should have been.

Bush and Cheney may have had their differences, as well as Colin Powell and Bush, but Cheney and Powell handled the situations appropriately.

Powell resigned and Cheney addressed his issues behind closed doors.

In a word, yes. She argued with one of her children's teachers, that the recent (within the sphere of 6,ooo years) remains of dinosaurs were discovered in Alaska.
No, they weren't.
I could go on and on, but Palin's defenders in this forum would choose to only overlook her idiocy, and attack the poster.
