Not really, even the Republican party can't stand her most of the time. "

Yeah, I live in Texas, and we all despise her.God, if she got elected as president, America would be the laughing stock of the world... "

" That just increased the Republican chance of taking back the white house by over 50%, if true "

I hope you're kidding. She's the reason McCain lost the election and she basically split the Republican party into two parts: Center-right independent voters no longer with a party affiliation because Palin and Bush have disgraced the party and right-wing wackos who are *this* close from being certifiably insane. She'll get less than 15% of the vote if she makes it into the race, but she could provide a significant split (ala Ross Perot before going nuts) in the general election and that could yield some interesting events should no candidate get a majority...

" 3 possibilities, A) She is going for a cash grab. She knows she doesnt have enough broad appeal to win a general election and she is going to join the Joe the plumber talking circuit and going to make some money.B) Something is up.  Keep an eye out for some sort of scandal and she is just trying to get out in front of it.C) Her presidential candacy is starting now and she is going to try to hit the road and try to crack into the independent voters minds. "

B)  The buzz i'm hearing is that the house she lives in and that was built when she was mayor of Wasilla was built at greatly reduced cost because she took the materials for free/reduced price from the contractors that built the skating rink that she had built as mayor.  Federal indictments are expected soon and that's why she got the fuck out.
