In her own mind. And that's exactly the problem.
I'm gonna throw this out there with my flamesuit on, but compare her to Hilary Clinton.
As much as you hate Hilary, hell,
I hate her carpetbagging ass a lot, you can give her some credit that she might have had a reasonable feeling she deserved/deserves the Presidency. Agree or not, you have to admit her own feelings on this are reasonable: she has literally worked for this her whole life. She sat in her husband's shadow and helped him along. As smart as Bill is, Hilary is probably smarter and more politically savvy and probably "deserves" to be President more, and she's worked at this since she got out of school in the 70s.
Now enter Sarah Palin, who was thrust from the governorship of the lowest populated state in the Union into the national spotlight a couple years ago as a potential Vice President and because of this she immediately thinks she deserves the Presidency.
I mean, at least Hilary has been angling for this for 30 years, if nothing else, right down to her carpetbagging stint as a NY senator. Palin came out of fucking nowhere, and sees herself on Hilary's level with no irony or humility whatsoever.
