Or maybe she'll try to sell another Palin reality show, heavily exploiting her children and grandchildren, of course. Maybe she and Bristol can do some kind of mother/daughter show.

She may be an idiot but she is a master at self promotion and fleecing people of their hard earned dollars.

I don't think she will go quietly into the night; she's too much of an attention *****.

She was a one trick pony. All she could do was to throw out red meat the tea baggers. Lame stream media ect. If she could go beyond the politics and do some real analysis she could have done more. Now the days of the tea baggers is over or dying she has no use. R.A. sees this and let her go. Its not a time for the likes of Bobby Jindal who says for Republicans to stop saying stupid things like legitimate rape and god has a plan for a rape baby ect. LOL It may be too little too late but who knows at least its a step on the right direction.

She'll be back, you can count on that.

But I don't think as a political figure. She really has used up all her political capital.

She was certainly more successful than John Kerry's running mate.

(previous election)

She has a lot more years on the pundit circuit. I think she'll run for President, which will be entertaining.

I agree, although I seem to see fewer and fewer people admitting to it.

I think a lot of them have jumped ship but I also think there will always be enough rabid ones left who are willing to donate to SarahPac every time she does one of her coy "will? or won't I?" shticks that she will never have to worry about ever having to get a real job again.
