I will spell it out.

First, I presented some questions to try to understand the issue better.Here is my conclusion based on what has been shared here and what I have observed generally:

Under ordinary circumstances Palin would have easily faded into obscurity being a losing VP candidate and resigning as governor before her term ended. But she has not.

Most of the reason that she has not faded is because those who claim to dislike her the most provide her with the most support. They trip over themselves to be the first to comment on how uninformed/unprofessional/etc/etc. she is. They also argue how her influence is weak and unappealing to a mass audience. However, their support (buying/reading her books, high TV ratings of interviews or when she is the topic, following her Tweets and Youtube videos, etc), creates their own little paradox. Hence, "I" read her book because "I" need to Know what her opposing views are, even if they are ignorant or simply lies - and since "they" are giving her so much support "they" legitimize their need to follow everything she does and says.

So, we get to the idea of this thread and the need to make public pronouncements that there needs to be a month long Palin moratorium. It is a tacit acknowledgment of an addiction. However, it is not a true first step in resolving the addiction, because there is not a willingness to honestly acknowledge the addiction. Here is the free advise to those who want to end the Palin addiction, admit it. Stop blaming Palin.

I would love for Condelisa Rice to consider a run for President or consider being a VP. She would be my number one choice hands down, no questions asked.

I would have voted for Hilery Clinton in the general election over McCain and i felt the media treated her unfairly in her run against Obama.
I supported:
Carly Fiorina.
Meg Whitman
Nikki Haley
I supported Elizabeth Dole in her last run for Senate in NC, however a last minute blunder cost her almost all of her credibility.

When I was 12 Shirley Chisholm ran for President and she was the first candidate I actually paid attention to.

I have always liked and have been impressed by Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

And i am sure there are others that don't come to mind right now.
