Palin will have two problems with that argument. First, the economic meltdown was the direct result of pro-Republican Wall Street being allowed to run amok by Bush administration regulators. It hurt McCain largely because it rammed home the message that this is where Bush's stewardship of the economy took us. Palin can try to run against it but there are so many Republican fingerprints on it all, she will virtually have to reinvent the party and shed most of the economic conservatives.

Second, her negatives are piling up just like Hillary's did. So when she is making the argument in 2011-2012 that she is the most electable for the party base, the counterargument will be that she finished 2008 with more than 50% of the electorate convinced she wasn't ready to be president.
