From Fivethirtyeight. FiveThirtyEight.com: Politics Done Right
I don't like this interview. I was trying to figure out why. I think I know. Even though it's interesting to know about Palin's reaction to her mistreatment by the media, I think we are now getting well oversaturated on such personal stuff. It's too much the Heroine's Tale, which is nice and all, but we're ultimately looking for a leader, not someone with a tale of hardship.
The above is from the link and there is more in the link of interest both ways.

So, maybe after that she started looking at CD to get some basic info about the places she was visiting. Why not--CD's easier than reading a newspaper....

You know Normie,I have often wondered that myself...You know 99.9% of these folks we talk about on here are online constantly and since most don't really "work" I'm sure they surf a lot.I can just imagine that big headed Palin "googlin" her name and stumbling across some of our discussions...that would let the air out of here sails pretty quick I'd say.
I don't worry about Bush seeing us tho',we use to many "big words" and he would lose interest to quick.

Yes, you must be much smarter than President Bush. So you probably know that your use of "to" is incorrect, twice in your last sentence. Both instances require the word "too."
Sorry, but it was too ironic for me to pass up. A post belittling someone else's intelligence, having such common errors in it. Had to love it.

Here is a suggestion of what her end game is. Palin's media battle raises eyebrows - CNN.com
Should Palin eye a presidential bid herself in 2012, continued loyalty from grass-roots Republicans will be crucial in determining whether she is the early favorite in a race sure to feature a crowded field of high-profile GOP contenders.
"All of that media bashing plays to the base," said David Brody, a senior national correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network. "And at least within the Republican primary, that works well."
"She needs a little time in the desert. She needs to retire," said Alex Castellanos, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor. "She needs to demonstrate growth as a politician, as a political leader. You can't do that if you keep staying in front of us day after day after day as the same person."
