As a centre-right, classic lib kinda guy I'm neither a Sarah Palin supporter nor detractor. 
 
However, my opinion of her has changed somewhat after watching her Tucson response video on her Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SarahPalinAK.
 
She will never be president.  It's not that I didn't agree with what she said, it's that it didn't need to be said.  Plus her delivery was frankly, weird. 
 
Sarah Palin does have an important role to play for the Republican Party though: to act as a lightening rod for left-wing critics.  The hysteria she manages to extract from holier than thou left-wingers is actually very unappealing to the general public and works in the Republican Party's favour.  She is, after all, a likeable and attractive mother of five children.
