In all honesty, if Palin were a little smarter, combined with what she already DOES possess in spades, she'd be an unstoppable force. Right now, she's her own worst enemy. In baseball terms, she's like the can't-miss propsect who was called up to the major leagues too early and scuffled. Whether or not she can rebound and build on what she DOES have is going the be the story.

I fear she won't "grow" because her 'handlers' will keep her in a bubble.
