So Sarah Palin isn’t running and finally it seems that the Republican slate is locked in.  While I have said in the past that she may have a chance this time around, assuming that she brushed up on current events and formulated some positions, there are a two good reasons that not throwing her hat into the ring now is good:

Not Enough Time

The first primary is in January. Rick Perry barely entered the race with enough time, and even that may have been a mistake, given his performance at the last couple of debates. Without a good, solid four months or so to really reintroduce herself to primary voters, Palin could have been entering for nothing. The problem is that while we knew she was a Republican last time, and had a shallow sense of her positions, we didn’t really know them deeply enough to make a decision whether or not she’d be the “right person.”  I don’t think three months would have been enough time to get around before the first primary.| MORE ›

Former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, will officially announce his candidacy next week Thursday. He will do so in New Hampshire.

As the Washington Post explains, that’s quite telling:

Three years ago, Romney tried to run the table of early-voting states — spending millions of dollars in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina only to lose all three and, with them, the nomination.| MORE ›

Former Governor of Alaska and the most prominent conservative woman in America, Sarah Palin, once again succeeded in taking her left-wing enemies in the media by surprise. How, you ask?
