Mama Grizzly considers slapping lipstick on and running for Prez

Hints that Mamma Grizzly is considering running for president have been popping up lately. Have you noticed?

The New York Times says, Palin “is expected to resume a schedule of public appearances soon — perhaps as early as this weekend — to raise her profile at a moment when the Republican presidential field appears to be taking final form.”

So, Sarah Palin might run for president after all. A new two-hour movie about her record as Alaska governor will premiere in Iowa next month; she’s bought a home in Scottsdale, AZ; and she’s hired back two top aides.

Her bid would probably benefit the slight front-runner Mitt (Whatever you say) Romney, because Palin would take attention away from other challengers (like Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman). It also would probably unite the GOP establishment around Romney.

You know that Team Obama would like to see Palin run. They've been looking for a way to rally their base in Arizona to begin organizing the state, and Palin would hand them an easy opportunity.

If you want further proof that Palin won’t go far just look at the recent NBC/WSJ poll that found her with a 25%-53% fav/unfav score, with just 9% viewing her VERY POSITIVELY (her lowest number ever in the poll) and with 41% viewing her VERY NEGATIVELY (her highest number).

In addition, her fav/unfav among independents is 19%-54%, while it’s 48%-25% among Republicans, 63%-7% among Tea Party supporters, and 6%-83% among Democrats. In other words, she’s adored by conservatives, but not by anyone else.
