“The past is the past,” Gov. Sarah Palin declared at her first and only official press conference of the 2008 presidential campaign season, which, oddly enough, was held after the election. “It’s behind us.”

Is it?

Palin is in front of the media more now that the campaign has ended than she ever was as a candidate. Palin, who it seems criticizes the media for her woes every time she moves her lips, is now providing as much fodder as possible to the McCain campaign staff she claims treated her badly.

While Republican Govs. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota sat down last week at the Republican Governors’ Association (RGA) annual meeting to evaluate what went wrong in 2008, Palin was on a different mission: how to set things right for herself in 2012.

Before headlining an RGA panel discussion titled “Looking Toward the Future,” Palin held a much-touted press conference in which she answered a grand total of three questions. The Alaskan governor is certainly looking toward the future — hers.

Palin is hoping to create a bright future that includes an even more prestigious title than vice president. She started paving her way to the Oval Office before her running mate had even ended his concession speech. Having been denied the chance to deliver her own concession speech/2012 declaration announcement at that event, she had to wait a day or two to make her ambitions abundantly clear.

I try to be objective. Sarah has yet to prove herself as a long term player. I happen to enthusiasticlly think she will. There’s nothing wrong with Brazille thinking she won’t but Brazille has published her conclusion before there’s evidence to support it.
