She's a disaster, in the final analysis, because she is utterly unelectable. She arouses a depth of anti-Palin emotion which is just as strong as that of her supporters.

Interesting crystal ball you have there. (1)Palin has not announced anything specifically yet. (2) The election is three years away. (3) You have declared Obama to be worse than Carter. (4) If so, this gives most any republican a shot at winning in 2012. (5) Reagan rode in high on Carter's foreign and domestic policy mistakes. (6) Reagan garnered many union and blue collar votes. Someone like a Palin could as well.

I see the GOP issue differently. (1) The GOP needs to fire Michael Steele and put someone in the job who is truly outside the beltway. (2) Unless they can get over, "let the old guy (read old senator - Dole, McCain) have a chance at running", they will continue to lose every election. (3) They need to fully concentrate on getting new blood in the House and Senate. The senior types need to be retired, period. The vast majority have long ago served their purpose, ie Orin Hatch, McCain etc. They could start by looking at two well known political and activist USSC Judge votes (Ginsburg and Sortamayor) and toss those republicans who voted Yea.
