But let's be honest. Palin wasn't ready for the spotlight. She was completely over her head and wasn't prepared. Her interviews were a catastrophe. I know Palin and her supporters like to blame McCain's people for keeping her on a leash, but it's not their fault she bombed the interviews.
McCain chose her because he needed a trump card to beat Obama. Palin wasn't chosen because she was the best candidate. She was chosen because she was an attractive, witty, successful, white woman.
It reminds me of an episode of "Modern Family." The gay couple adopted an Vietnamese baby and wanted to enroll her in a prestigious daycare, but there was only one spot available. They thought for sure they would get it, because they were a gay couple with a minority baby. Cam even pretended to be Native American to up their chances. Then, while in the administration room waiting to see the head of the daycare, in walks a disabled, interracial lesbian couple with an adopted African baby.
I'm going to flip flop on my earlier position, when I said I hoped she wouldn't run again. The standards for being a Senator or member of Congress are less than that of the President/VP. So, sure, Palin should run for the AK Senate seat. She could be a good Senator.
I would still be against her running on a Presidential ticket until she's got a term or two under her belt.

I had planned to sit out the 08 election till she came onboard. I do think (politically) she made a mistake by resigning as Governor. She would have been right there to confront the current office holder.
People can learn from their mistakes.
Unless its Gods will I hope she does not run for anything. She needs to focus on walking with Christ and being a good wife and Mom.
