Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin are both very outspoken members of the today's Republican Party. When they say something inflammatory, generally the media will jump on it. Howwever, Chuck Todd, a reporter from MSNBC, believes they could not actually win the nomination. They are more about playing to the base and do not have enough broad appeal to achieve anything more.
It's hard to tell exactly if Palin could ever win. She was extremely popular in Alaska before she become a GOP hack. However, the public has a very short memory sometimes and it is conceivable that she could end up improving her image and be seen as a more serious contender. Whether this is what she plans for 2012 or not is the big question. Perhaps she is waiting until 2016. Either way, I think the American people are smart enough to see her for what she is, which is a political opportunist that completely abandoned what made people like her when she first was entrusted with the job as governor of Alaska, which she subsequently failed to finish.
