But if, a big if, she decides to become a national political figure, Palin should use these next few years (in addition to making some money to support her family) to travel and read widely in the manner that a Reagan did in his wilderness period. She has natural intelligence and is curious. I think most would like to see her do another Couric interview five years from now

Sorry. I like Hanson but he's trying to say, in a very nice way, that Sarah shouldn't think of 2012. Poppycock. Go into a wilderness period like Reagan? Sorry but there is no need to go on a seven year course. The Couric interview is way overblown and in fact is a dishonest benchmark to use. Sarah was feisty in that interview because she knew she was not only being hypocritically treated as a conservative but also as a conservative woman.

VDH is a Mitt Boy, nothing he could wish for more than for Palin to go away for “5 years” and leave no true conservative for Mitt to have to run against 2012. It's easy to look like a conservative when the field is Rinos...

Um, no. Katie Couric is where she is today because the women of America who watch the Today show thought she was cute and perky. Her qualifications to interview anyone about domestic and international politics are a mystery, and her stamp of approval isn't a prerequisite for national office.

Hanson demonstrates why we need Palin. There is no other conservative out there, not even Hanson, who normally is bright, who gets it.

And what’s “it”?

Well, if you have to ask, then you probably agree with Hanson, that Palin should go off to the “wilderness” and let the rest of us wait while Obama builds is dictatorship and not a single other Republican, or a single other conservative, says a word about it.

FU, Victor. FU.
