That's fine and that's your opinion. Palin was not the problem. McCain being a RINO was the problem. How many of us sat here and said: "John, don't vote for the bailout plan". Very little that McCain did was of a conservative bent. How many of us just cringed when John threw-out his plan to buy troubled house mortgages. John was not a conservative, and no amount of Sarah Palins could save him.

Liberals would like nothing better than to see Palin run for President in 2012. Not those who remember Reagan! She's a natural on the stump, as good a communicator as Reagan. She projects the same sunny optimism as he did, with the same conservative principles. And she is damn smart, a fact which you had better acknowledge if you can get over making fun of her accent. She was catapulted into a sea full of sharks this time, without sufficient time to prepare. If she decides to return to the national stage in 2012, she will be ready.
