I believe Mrs. Palin is exactly where she wants to be right now. The best of both worlds, you might say. Since 2008 she has become a best selling author and has built a successful and very lucrative career in the private sector....which I am sure drives the Lefties crazy. She remains active behind the political scenes. If she decides to run for public office again, I doubt it will be before her minor children are grown. The polling numbers you mention don't mean much at this stage of the game and will remain fluid for some time to come. During the last presidential race, none of the early front runners made the final cut.

As for the Joe McGinnis tome, "Rogue" - even by his own admission, he wasn't able to verify the scurrilous rumors he nonetheless chose to include in it - leading some to wonder if Mrs. Palin might contemplate a lawsuit against the author and his publisher. I hear that the book is not selling well.

It is a pity that some of you seem incapable of making a cogent and reasonable argument when discussing political figures with whom you have philosophical disagreements. Resorting to cheap shots and infantile name calling doesn't make you sound clever. That nasty little gibe directed towards Ronald Reagan is not only cruel but incorrect, in that it implies he was already in the grips of Alzheimers during his presidency. In fact he had no such symptoms until long after he left the White House. This dreadful condition affects millions and should not be a topic for jest.

It says something of the US political system that Sarah Palin got has far as she did; If she was in the UK, my guess is that the highest public role she would obtain would be that of a school dinner lady.

The woman is a 100% nutter.

Pur-lease.

Reagan wasn't the shiniest button in the box in the sixties, when he was elected as Governor of California.

American politics - style over substance.

They only elected JFK, over that crook Nixon, because he shaved moments before the infamous televised interviews.

Making the gullible Yanks think he looked less 'shifty'.

But a very well-groomed nutter...

Top 10 Dumbest Sarah Palin Quotes

1. "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008 (Watch video clip)

2. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." –-Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care plan, Aug. 7, 2009

3. "All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)

4. "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)

Got to celebrate it!'" --a Tweet sent by Sarah Palin in response to being ridiculed for inventing the word "refudiate," proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010

6. "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, botching the history of Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011

9. "We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010

Odd, really.

With her being such a shrewd and savvy operator.

Must have caught her on a bad decade.

Actually, those who listened to the JFK/Nixon debate on the radio thought Nixon won hands down. But he didn't come across very well on t.v. because he wasn't feeling well that evening and looked sweaty. JFK certainly had style.

Reagan was no dunce. Maybe you should dig a little deeper before pronouncing judgement. He was well read and a prolific writer. Most Americans approved of his governing philosophy and many Democrats voted for him....hence the two landslide victories when he ran for the presidency. He is still highly regarded by the American people.

I have 'delved', thank you, and remain unimpressed. Though I'm happy you are.

Apparently peanuts make monkeys happy.

Personally, I'm eagerly anticipating Macaulay Culkin's presidential campaign to start.

Which shouldn't be that long a wait now.
