When America is finally ready to reckon with the phenomenon that was Sarah Palin, I suspect we will discover that whatever she represents actually had less to do with her gender, class, or ideology than we now believe. It's easy to look at the soon-to-be-former governor of Alaska as an iconic feminist, a path-breaking working mother, or noble rabble-rousing populist. But when the dust settles, the lesson may be that she was simply a woman who made no sense. Her meteoric rise and dubious fall will say less about America than you think, beyond the fact that America likes its politicians to communicate their ideas clearly. We will someday come to realize that while it's all well and good to be mavericky with one's policies, it's never smart to be mavericky with one's message.

Cause she didn’t
Why no Barf Alert?
Perhaps Sarah Palin is John Galt. I will be on the lookout.
Oh Good Lord have we all gone coo coo for Cocoa Puffs. Sarah isn’t leaving the Republican party, but I can speak for myself when I say I am done with the GOP, until they clean up their act. They will have to win me back.
Pure BS propaganda...repeat a lie often enough...
Palin is as strong as ever. She is in perfect position. Both parties are not trusted by the public. She can run against both.
Who’s we kimosabe? Writing for Slate and you want me to believe that you were for her before you were against her?
Change the "Palin" to "Obama" and she has perfectly described BO.
Sounds like the Black Dahlia is practicing projection.
This one should have had a big BARF alert.
trashy, stuff, lets face it, the left are getting desperate
And lose. Do you really think she can win as a 3rd party candidate? She won't peel off Dem votes and will split Republicans. That's not a recipe for victory. Does no one remember Perot? He handed Clinton victory in '93 even though Clinton only got 43% of the vote.
Another Liberal hag jealous of Sarah’s beauty, her happy marriage to Todd, her figure after 5 kids, her popularity among real (conservative) men, her beauty, her big house on a lake, her beauty, her successful political career, her beauty...
Us? Sorry Norcal chick..I don’t know you, but Sarah is not quitting...watch the news sweet pea..war has been declared on liberalism. And Sarah will lead the charge!!
> America likes its politicians to communicate their ideas clearly
Obama can’t open his mouth without a teleprompter. At a Commensement Ceremony for some college, I forgot which one, he read the teleprompter saying that he met Michelle in college, he met her at a law firm, he is such an idiot he could not say without a freakin teleprompter where he met his wife. If the teleprompter had said he met her at McDonalds he would have said that
