Here is the problem Palin has. Her unfavorable rating is at 49%. That is about 15 points higher than then next closest GOP contender when it comes to unfavorable rating. It also show that most people have already made up their minds about her and instead of convincing undecided voters to vote for her, she will have convince people who hate her to like her and that is not an easy task.

I still don't think she will run. She is having fun scaring the shit out of the GOP and making a lot of money. She is in a great place right now where she can comment and interject herself when she wants, but doesn't have to answer to other people. And if she thought she had it hard when she was the VP candidate, just wait until her fellow republicans attack her.

I read an article a few months back about what it really takes to be elected president. It is a nearly 2 year process where she will have to spend every moment that she isn't working campaigning and studying and working on her platform and I get the feeling she isn't up for that kind of grind.

All that said, I didn't watch her show. When I hear her voice it makes me what to claw my own ear drums out.
