No one knows if Sarah is planning to run for president, or any office in the future. But she is certainly very clever in allowing herself all the exposure now, long before there is any need to announce any desire for office.
Sarah is letting herself be a target and all those who want to take aim are giving their best shot. Eventually, their attempts become either ridiculous or simply ignored. But, soon all will have run out of ammunition.
Once they have said all they can say to fault her, or told all the lies they can make up, there will not be much left to use against her. The hatred can only last so long...and people's tolerance ends for stories that prove to be fabricated or simply vulgar. In two years, what more will be left to say?
Thank you for that sober summary.
The Palin bashing has been so depressing - but you have presented a brilliant war game.
