It looks that way on the surface, but Bush comes from an East coast old money family. He had the connections & money to win the presidency. Sarah Palin has them so long as the party thinks she's a marketable commodity. She's popular with people who vote Republican every time no matter what, but not so popular outside of that demographic. Being able to play to the christian right and having your power base in the christian right are two different things. Just ask Mike Huckabee.
I suspect there are more skeletons in her & Todd's closet. She'd be more useful to the right on TV.
