2012: Palin vs Obama

Michael O'Brien of The Hill explains how Sarah Palin has finally sent out her resolution to win the next presidential election. She has had interviews with ABC and at Fox news. She declares:

"I’m engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here," to the New York Times

While she may has gathered a number of supporters, her credentials are definitely the first obstruction to her campaign. Because she is a paid contributor to Fox news, the interviews seem less harsh and demanding of Palin. They were simply asking her very broad and easy-to-answer questions. Nevertheless, she does have the public speaking skill to drive her campaign, but is still weak when matched up with Obama. The advantage that she has is that the Republicans have control of the majority of the Senate and this may prove to be a source of influence and convincing point for her campaign. Overall, it is really up to Palin how to present herself in the campaign, how well she can say her policies, and keep herself from making ground-breaking mistakes during her campaign.
