When it premieres in Iowa next month, the film is poised to serve as a galvanizing prelude to Palin's prospective presidential campaign -- an unconventional reintroduction to the nation that she and her political team have spent months eagerly anticipating, even as Beltway Republicans have largely concluded that she won't run.
Sarah Palin has always been unconventional. A classic outside-the-box thinker who eschews conventional wisdom. Someone who has made a career out of bucking the establishment, Democrat and Republican.
"The Undefeated" conveys the dramatic extent to which Palin's world has changed in just a few years, as it shows her announcing her gubernatorial campaign not at a massive rally but at a sparsely attended press conference in her kitchen. ...
If she does decide to run, "The Undefeated" will be the key element to her initial coming-out party. The film's impending release -- and the frenzied media attention that it is sure to generate -- will serve as a vivid wake-up call that despite the many obstacles in front of her, Palin's entry into the race would turn the campaign on its head in an instant, just as it did in 2008.
As she mulls her decision in the coming weeks, the other Republican candidates in the field will be left to prepare for a hibernating grizzly who appears poised to rise up once again.
So far all the media concern about the weakness of the Republican field and the fact that the only real fighter who made a brief foray into the campaign was Donald Trump (who was actually not a Republican) has many Republicans searching for a real leader. If Palin decides to run, she will become the Republican standard bearer. The nomination is hers for the asking. She can then name Romney as her VP and assign him the task of raising the money.

Sounds like a plan to me.
