I don’t believe she will run for president in 2012 or that she would be elected if she did. But I do believe she is equal in ability to many of those in the Republican Party seeking that office.

Along, with a couple folk who occasionally post here, they say she will not be elected. They say this before she has declared her candidacy. They say this before a single caucus has occurred.

Who are these who say this? Mostly, they are the liberal media and the politicos. They are people like Karl Rove who apparently found that Harriet Meiers had sufficient gravitas for the Supreme Court. People like Joe Scarborough the make believe conservative, Mathews, Olbermann, Maddow and other pro-left opinion spouters. They are those who post knowingly on SI blogs and other spaces that she won't get elected.

But none of these who say this, provide proof which supports their views. Because someone in the media or in politics says Palin is not electable is not proof. It is the extended expression of someone else.

Nor did Ed Koch give us proof. It is a one person opinion expressed through fear in Koch's case. He admits it.

IMO, the left has successfully co-opted too many republicans and independents on the issue of Palin being electable. They have moved the line of scrimmage and those who have jumped on the 'negative electability of Palin band wagon' do not even recognize what has occurred.

It's not yet time to worry about Palin. It's about getting the Congress to do what is needed to get America right! Our focus needs to be on our House and Senate reps doing the jobs necessary to correct the socialistic decisions by Pelosi, Reid and the two Obamas.

There is plenty of time to determine who is and who is not electable as the republican candidate in 2012.
