Will Sarah Palin get a second chance at the presidency?

Palin for president? An ambitious woman in the quest for the ultimate position of power. McCain's bid for the White House in the 2008 election was an eye opener for the former Governor of Alaska. McCain lured Palin to the tree of the knowledge of power. She tasted of the possibility to be first in her gender to occupy the vice presidency of the United States. Unfortunately the Republicans suffered an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Democratic party.

Sarah, an unknown in the political world, flourished as a celebrity with overnight success. The pit-bull with lipstick is now the potential alpha of the Republican and Tea Party movement. Sarah has proved herself a worthy opponent. Her image as the caring, down to earth mother figure used in McCain's campaign has proven to be effective. Adding that special touch of feminism to the recipe, may just be what the GOP doctor called for.

Palin's stand on major issues reflect the majority view (Republican). As a potential presidential candidate she must excel above her fellow politicians, ignoring ruthless tactics adopted by the party, and stale political views, blaming the present administration for the ill decisions of the past. Instead Sarah should focus on a remedy to the problems facing America and an antidote to counteract the mishaps of the past administration.

Time will judge as to palin's political future. Perhaps she will be able to pull the rabbit from the hat and be successful in her party's nomination. The American people have had to bear the burden of over-rated politicians and empty political promises for a decade. Sarah's approach to the White House must reflect a different image then conventional politics. So far she has made no attempt to such a resolution, and seems content with politics as usual. In the famous words of Abraham Lincoln "you may fool all the people some of the time: you can even fool some of the people all of the time: but you can't fool all the people all of the time." Palin's most fearful opponent stands valiantly awaiting her challenge. History is there to bring to memory the sins of the G.O.P. A ghost that haunts the chambers of the Republican party, whose only remedy is exorcism of the memory of eight years.

Is Sarah Palin capable of erasing the past from the memory of the American people? The Republican party has come up with some solutions such as illegal immigration and health care to induce amnesia on the nation. Will this be sufficient to ensure victory to Sarah Palin and the G.O.P. in the coming elections is yet to be seen.
