Sarah is such a political lightning rod that I don't think she will run nationally. People mostly either love her or hate her.
Just look at this thread. Her political positions are liked, but too much focus on voice pitch and speech mannerisms - even from so-called conservatives. Sure many here are, but some only talk the talk, IMO.
As far as McCain in 2008 foes, he would have lost by a larger margin without Sarah.
Sarah would be the first to tell you that she has never let her enemies define her agenda.
Enemies from both sides learned that the hard way in Alaska. They learned that Sarah could start way behind in the polls; with little money and beat the socks off the Good Old Boy incumbent.
