At this point, I think the only way that Palin can redeem herself is to come out and prove that she can string together a coherent thought about a relevant issue without dancing around the details--bonus points if she can do so in a way that doesn't sound like she's reading off a note card given to her in her little VP Debate Bootcamp and memorized overnight. She can talk about being a governor all she wants, but until she can show us where that experience has gotten her and how specifically that makes her ready for the job at hand (like any good resume), then she's going to stay in hot water, at least in my eyes.
