Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has some important political decisions to make. Republican insiders say that if she wants to maintain her viability as a presidential contender in 2012—after making such a big splash as the GOP vice presidential candidate this year—she needs to bring aboard some savvy political operatives who can help her decide what kind of events she should do and which she should avoid.

"There's still a lot of talk about her," says a longtime party strategist and former adviser to Ronald Reagan. "She's still a hot property, but she needs to put a system together. She doesn't have much in the way of political infrastructure up there [in Alaska]. It will be interesting to see how she allocates her time."
Another senior Republican who advised presidential nominee John McCain this year said, "She needs to focus on being a good governor. If she is going to be a national figure, she needs to be known for her reform work in Alaska."
Last Sunday, Palin got a bit of bad news when McCain told ABC's This Week that he can't, at this time, back Palin for the top job. Asked whether he would support her, McCain replied, "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party."
McCain did express "admiration and respect" for his running mate and said no one should doubt "my view of her viability."

Go get some good old fashioned American Community Organizing experience. Nothing else much matters it seems.
Or start a rumor that you were born in Canada, not really in Sandpoint, ID.
Maybe she should become buddies with ACORN, they sure helped a lot in this election
More advice for Gov. Plain....do no listen to advice from US News.
EXACTLY!! she is already doing what needs to be done to run, she is sticking to her conservative values. She is helping make Alaska a great place to live. After the Democrats screw us over, raising taxes, etc, I have a feeling many people will be moving to Alaska to get away from all these tax hikes. That’s all she needs to do, that and also campaigning for others who share her same views
I, along with just about every other Conservative I have spoken with, would actually consider this a glowing recommendation - anyone else?
That’s because they were with McCain, Sarah needs her OWN campaign people, to let her do things her way, let her do what got her elected Governor. No big shots needed, all she did was explain what she was gonna do to make the state better and won by a landslide.
#1 on the to do list: Stay the frak away from McCain and the other rinos.
The second I heard him say it, I literally said THANK GOD. She doesn’t need the endorsement of some RINO loser to help pave her way to victory

advice to Sarah.
Do not ask McCain to endorse you for any office you may seek to run for in the future.
“More advice for Gov. Plain....do no listen to advice from US News.’
That’s what I call sophisticated, quality advice.
Notice the “senior Republican” who says Palin needs to “focus on being a good governor,” in order to become known for working as a reformer.
She did that already—why are they so stupid.
Be yourself.
Tell me who else McCain doesn’t support—they have my vote.
Its a total joke the way bloggers are interpreting McCain’s comment. Of course McCAin isn’t going to come out and endorse anyone for 2012. Four years is a very long time in politics.
She’ll have my vote just for doing that alone

The sort of "Savvy political operatives" who so skillfully managed the McCain campaign, perhaps?
