I'm afraid Palin has abandoned her presidential ambitions. By taking a tilt at the White House in 2012, she would guarantee a second Obama term.

Without Palin, the GOP might start looking for a serious candidate.

Politics is a real dirty bisiness , ugly in fact and nature .
Palin reminds me of Pauline Hanson who copped the same treatment .
Thinking about the hate and uglyness these two ladies engendered makes me believe that both mainstreem parties identerfyed danger ; Kill Kill and do it fast became their mantra .

The question is what did they fear ?

Both Countries have Polititions who lie and spin BS no one could possibly agree that you can take what they say for granted .
Our Dudes could'nt say Deficet or Billions , how contemptable is that , do they really believe we are that IH ?
Then there was the non-core promises and the Core Promises .
What these 'ex used car salesmen types' feared was honesty and integrity , commitment and disipline founded by hard work and hard times ; in the Fish Shop and the Fishing Biz where reality and BS collide providing an education in real Integrity that no Uni can provide.

Both could have served us well .
