It won't be Palin in 2012. If she runs, any number of more qualified Republicans will turn her into hamburger in a debate.

This is the woman who was "blindsided" by *Katy Couric*, for crying out loud! If she got that "deer caught in the headlights" look with HER, imagine what a REAL news reporter could do. To this day she STILL can't name a newspaper that she reads.

Most politicians quit their jobs AFTER they announce they're running for President. She quit and has done... What? Ok, she wrote a book. When she quit, she said she wasn't quitting - and this will be replayed like the John Kerry quote "I was against the war before I was for it" over and over and over and over again. She said she was (paraphrasing) "taking the fight to a new level". What fight? The book is all about HER - not the country or anything contemporary. There's certainly nothing WRONG with writing a book about your experiences, but it has NOTHING to do with 'going forward'.
