Well, maybe that will happen. "The Undefeated" is a fairly positive film, representing Ms. Palin as a bipartisan resolver. Announcement of a kickoff surprise after the projection of what is essentially a screen's campaign would be a dramatic way for Palin to enter the race.

But the Palin to Iowa travel is probably just tourism Hawkeye State or General Palin brand-building. Apparently, it is not pleasant with GOP state leaders to gauge possible support during his short stay.

It could announce the next series of cases for his Nation while bus tour in Iowa. This family vacation wandering has been organising - Palin herself that criticism on the fact that it has been called for jury in Alaska. But what happens after the first Pella, Iowa film, Opera, is now a waste of time? It gets to be too late for Palin to run?

We know, the question seems absurd - real vote did not begin until next year. But, as previously mentioned, it gets late early presidential nomination policy. On average, the winning candidates have stated that their intentions in July of the year preceding the election.

Coming, and yet mystery still spins around the child prodigy Wasilla. It will be? Won't it? Are fans tired of waiting and turn to Michele Bachmann?

After all, Ms. Bachmann has zoomed tied for first place in recent survey of the Register of monks preferences of Republicans in Iowa. It is a part of favorite tea and fly the boat to the establishment, as Palin. It is possible that it is winning the potential voters of the Palin.

In addition, Palin unfavourable rating just keeps getting worse. Almost 60% of voters overall Americans have a negative view of it - a very high barrier that it would have to overcome to actually win the White House.

If Palin was a conventional politician, this bad news could mean that Yes, its time has passed. But it is far from conventional. It retains a core of supporters dedicated, as in its intensity Positive Gallup, its favourable note note less negative numbers. At 17, which places her just before the Mitt Romney favorite. (He drags Michele Bachmann, however.)

Palin could raise all the money she wanted in a short period of time. It would probably attract personal talent top the time wherever she said "Yes". It has advanced the social art of the management of the media through networking sites - to communicate what it means in Facebook and Twitter breaks out.

And it is still known. Yes, Ms. Bachmann is hot at the moment. But if you compare "Sarah Palin" with "Michele bachmann" on trends in Google, to find on the search term attracts more Web, Palin WINS traffic. By a long shot.

Bachmann was a great Web research day in mid-June after his performance in a GOP debate in New Hampshire. But overall, if you look at the past 30 days in the United States, the Web of Palin search traffic is three times greater than that of Bachmann and four times greater than that of Mr. Romney.

Why Sarah Palin harm on a double-standard tears (Atlantic)

Sarah Palin said Friday there is a "double-standard" for female politicians who obtain verklempt on the public stage.

"I'm sure I could be a bit hit" predicts Palin on ABC "Good Morning America" on what might happen if she shocked by giving a speech on the occasion and children. Tears if often accompany House remarks pending speaker John Boehner on these topics, on the other hand, get a "pass", says.

"I know if a woman would be given a pass necessarily", Palin told Robin Roberts during a walkout at his winter home in Wasilla Alaska.

Women in politics "to be that much more difficult", said Palin.

But this right?

Of the most prominent stories about the impact of public tears on the political fate are also ancient Gran Torino Clint Eastwood polished in the eponymous film.

Today, we're flooded in Misty moments and only they seem poorly politicians is based on the recent instance sex more important to a female politician is strangled really helped his most be difficult or angry at this time would have.

Hillary Clinton could have back in New Hampshire without its vulnerable moment in a Portsmouth coffee in January 2008? Bill and Hillary Clinton have credited his emotions to a question about how she adapts paving the way to victory in the State.

And gets the nucleus of how lacrimose today's politicians are different from those in the past and a significant difference in how male and female emotional responses are interpreted.

Boehner cries when he was hurt or angry, as Ed famous Muskie made in 1972 while defending the character of the wife. He is crying because he felt too. "There are things that are very difficult to talk," Boehner said in an interview with "60 minutes" aired Sunday and renewed conversation on his weepy tracks. "Family." Children. I can't go to school. I used to go to many schools. And you see all these children autour. "Cannot talk about it".

This same excess of feeling is what motivated the tears of Clinton.

Indeed, the real enemy of women in politics is not casual expression of vulnerability, but current expressions of anger.

As on the Science Daily summarizes the latest research on this topic in 2008:

If you're running for President or seeking employment office, you cannot afford to angry if you are a woman, psychologist at the University of Yale Victoria Brescoll found.

Brescoll and Eric Uhlmann at Northwestern recently completed three separate studies exploring a phenomenon that can be all too familiar to women as Senator from New York Hillary Clinton: accept and even reward that angry men but women who lose their temper as less competent advice....

Clinton Presidential campaign has highlighted the issue of whether anger is wrong for a female candidate. The answer, according to studies, appears to be Yes unequivocally - unless the anger deals with the treatment of a member of the family.

"Angry woman loses status, regardless of its what position," said Brescoll. ".

No wonder that Palin - which is known for its public grievances and disputes these days perhaps more than anything else - is regarded as not qualified to be President. More it supports with and suddenly the press and his enemies more number of autumn survey.

According to Washington Post-ABC new survey today, only 8% of Americans say they would definitely vote for it should challenge the Obama President in 2012 - while 60 percent say that they would certainly not.

Perhaps it is time to give a chance to tears.
