the Palin Interviews with Couric were enough to discourage me of her mental prowess, no need for any attacks she provided her own fodder. Also by who's accounts was she the most effective governor? By all lasting measures most Alaskan's would have trouble naming any lasting legacy she had on the Alaskan constituency, or any major legislation that she crafted or got passed.
I stick by my comment that abandoning your constituency is not the way to run an elected office
I'll be very surprised if she is still relevant in 2012.
from the sounds of it she got bogged down in the mountain of legal complaints and personal attacks and picked too many battles with the wrong people and minor players
