<br />Besides, being advised by a husband named Todd can't be bad thing. ;-)<br /><br />I gotta say, read her book and you'll see that any advice offered by her husband is not what's turning her gears. She started in small-town politics, and he was away for much of the year at North Slope oil fields and training for long-distance snow machine races. She is smart and dogged, and I think she'd be one of the most effective presidents ever. I think that's what all the Washington types are afraid... [ More ]

Even though I may like her does not mean I would like to see her president.

Sarah Palin is a force to be reckoned with, but the majority of Americans don t think she d make an effective President.

A new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll released Monday found that despite her star status, 59% of Americans don't think Palin would be a hit in the White House.

Even among Republicans, just 40% said the former vice presidential candidate would make an effective President.

Since she broke onto the national stage in 2008, Palin has leveraged her political past into multi-million dollar book deals, high-profile speeches, and a Midas touch when it comes to endorsing Republican candidates for the House and Senate, but she hasn't convinced voters she'd be a success as President.

Results showed 75% of Democrats and 63% of independents did not feel she would be effective in office.

Only 26% of those surveyed said they felt confident she would be a successful President, including 47% of Republicans, 12% of Democrats, and 21% of independents.

Though voters may not feel ready for a Palin 2012 ticket yet, the former Alaska governor has managed to maintain her star power.

At least 80,000 people came to see her speak on Saturday at Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor event in Washington, D.C.

And out of 19 primary races in which Palin endorsed a candidate before the election, 11 won.

Despite the rumors that Palin intends to challenge Obama in the next presidential election, the Wasilla native has not confirmed her intention to run for office.

I ve never committed to running for President, she told Fox News earlier this month. That s not where my focus is.
