Sarah Palin will not win the Republican Primary let alone become President. The best Republican chance to re-capture the White House will be Mitt Romney especially if the economy does not improve over the next three and a half years.
Which is a big "if". If I were a Repub, I'd bide my time a little. The issues may be entirely different in 2012. They may look "dated" if they go ranting on about something now that may be totally resolved by then, e.g. gay marriage, the economy, health care financing.
Politics is all about momentum and ground game. The momentum has clearly shifted to the Republicans and the new ground game is in its developmental stages with Tea Party protests and voter anxiety over the record spending of borrowed money. The slush fund that is diverted stimulus money will be put in play just a few months before the midterms so as to maximize the effect and minimize the inevitable inflation that comes with monopoly money. If voters notice the inflation before the election, they may balk at sending the Democrats back to DC. Of course if they wait to long, the jobs won't be back in time for Democrats to take credit. Timing is crucial.
The momentum has shifted to the Republicans? Where? On the Sean Hannity show? At Rush's house? At the Wall Street Journal? And the tea party protests were more mocked than praised.
While the GOP wastes its time praying and watching polls hoping to find a kink in the armor (rather than using it constructively and distancing its radical elements to bring back the moderates it lost), the Dems are running circles around them.
That's their biggest problem, purging the loons out of their party asap.

Ron Paul wins CPAC presidential straw poll
"Texas Rep. Ron Paul, hero of a fervant band of libertarians, unexpectedly won the presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference today, claiming 31% of the votes cast.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who has carried the survey for the past three years, was second at 22%."
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new Rasmussen poll finds pro-abortion President Barack Obama would be tied with former Gov. Mitt Romney in a potential presidential election matchup. The survey also shows Gov. Sarah Palin just six percentage points behind Obama in a possible 2012 presidential race preview.
]If the next election were held today, the Rasmussen survey, released today, shows Obama and the former Massachusetts governor tied at 45 percent apiece. [Another 7 percent would prefer someone other than Obama and Romney, who ran as a pro-life candidate in the 2008 Republican primary again eventual nominee John McCain, and 3 percent are undecided.
Against Palin, the pro-life advocate who is stepping down as governor of Alaska, Obama would receive 48 percent to her 42 percent. The same 7 percent want another candidate and 3 percent are undecided.
isn't Romney a "Muslin"? Oops,... I mean Mormon? The Ultra right wing Christian Coalition might not like that.
He is an Anchor Baby
His Grandparents RENOUNCED their US Citizenship and moved to Mexico to practise Polygamy. They later returned with Mitts Father George but apparently never bothered to go through any immigration process
Still a while off, but better yet, Texas Govenor Rick Perry for President and Palin for VP. Could happen. Texas has jobs, financial stability, growth.
It's possible, that is for sure!!!
I am still betting the Republican candidate is no one we have even thought much about: Perry could be that person. I do not think it will be Palin or Huckabee, I don't think either will even run and I hope Romney doesn't get the nod...

Romney/Palin
The Ultra right wing Christian Coalition might not like that.
