**Question to all DU'ers** Is Palin acutally hurting her future political career?

[President Decider]

Knowing how badly the GOP wanted to wheel her out in front of millions of Americans and introduce her as the future face of the Republican party, I'm now left to wonder just how badly "Sarah 6 Pack" has hurt herself politically as a result of being pulled out of the oven far too early before she was remotely close to being ready for politics at this level.

At least the Democratic party did the right thing by allowing Obama (a rising star of at the time) the correct exposure opportunity by making him a speech presenter at the 2004 DNC. This is where millions like myself her him for the first time and said,

"One day ... that man will be a President!

Then Obama did the right thing and grew his political career even more by running for State Senator and winning. Palin on the other hand was picked right off the vine well before she was even remotely close to being ready.

I think Palin's future is seriously in trouble. What do you think?
