I have to say I'd be pretty happy if she decided not to run. I've never been a fan, and I think the party would be better off turning its attention to candidates other than Palin.

I wholeheartedly agree with you now. Before, I thought she had actually been an effective executive branch leader before she got the big McCain spotlight shined on her. That's pretty clearly fallen apart now. I think it was recoverable had she buckled down and stayed in office, but resigning? Nope.
And I'm not that interested in the other stuff she brings if she can't or won't actually demonstrate her competence in office, and I don't think I'm alone in the base she fired up for McCain in thinking so. Charisma without real leadership isn't worth much to me.
ETA: How is it that anyone could think that what the GOP needs are more unofficial spokes-people who alienate the center and push people left? It's one thing if you're an actual office holder who votes according to principle, but just a media figure?
