While i hope she doesn't squander the GOP's realistic chances in 2012, and another candiadte emerges from the repub primaries... I'm happy Palin has found her stride as a very very far right voice of the party. I don't know if its possible for her to return to center on anything, something she would need too do, in order to be president.
As long as she doesn't go blowing things for pawlenty or thune, I'm cool if she makes a good living stirring up the hate in the pissed off far right group.
