The next presidential election is more than 2 years away. It is way too early to dismiss any person as a candidate. Who would have thought 2 years ago that the political landscape would have tilted so far against the Dems. I agree with you. Compared to what we have, Sarah looks like a genius. lj

Well Jim, we'll just have to agree to disagree on her electability. I think there are better candidates (e.g., Daniels, Ryan, Thune, others) who haven't had their brand damaged at this time with swing voters.

Sarah Palin would do herself and the party a favor and run as vp with a candidate like Ryan, Christ, Daniels etc., and get some experience behind her. She needs to dispel the negative perception the left has built by being out there doing things in a high capacity such as vp. I'm looking forward to seeing a poll. I don't believe people dislike her but I also don't believe people on whole are ready for her yet.
