Yes, she does. She is a public figure. She courts the press. It is clear she is thinking about running in 2012.

It is very poor judgment to have worn that hat.

Is she so naive as to think the press wouldn’t notice? So dumb that she thinks crossing out her running mates name isn’t going to lead to speculation.

All she had to do was take a DIFFERENT HAT. She could get one for less than 10 bucks. She CHOSE that hat. She CHOSE to mark out his name.

Yes, she does have to explain. If she wanted to go incognito she could have worn something different.

So rookie mistake? Naive? DUMB? Or Calculated?

SCP - tks for that. I believe Sarah is savvy enough not to get drawn into a McC v Hayworth contest should it materialise.

It’s her hat! Who cares what she does with it?

Why is this an issue?

wear an “Impeach Obama” hat.

A sun visor with "Impeach Obama"! GREAT IDEA! We should send her one!! You made this thread worthwhile.

An 'Impeach Obama" visor signed by Sarah! They would go like hotcakes!

Perhaps, Romney and Huckabee have better security arrangements. Biden has the secret service to protect him.

The Paparazzi will follow the Palin family around eveytime they travel to the lower 48. The Paparazzi is something Sarah has to live with. Life is not fair. Deal with it.

Because the media refuses to cover the major issues. They need something to cover in their breaking news.

No - because NO ONE gives a flip about them! They are NOT newsworthy. How's the book tour going for both the Huckster and Mitt? The news isn't covering it.

In the world of politics...what you do does matter.

What she did was stupid....

to me..it is an “airhead” move..

Unless, of course...it was calculated...

I am not sure which one it is...but because she is cutting and running..I tend to think “airhead” move.

Yep, all must be well in the world when people make a fuss about a hat but damn, can you imagine the reaction if Sarah wore an “Impeach Obama” hat..the media would flip out, literally. Ok someone has to find an impeach Obama hat and send it to her..tell her if she really wants to piss off the libs wear that hat!

Running mate? Get caught up! She has NO running mate - nor is it clear that she is running in '12! It's just your greatest fear.

she left because she couldnt even enjoy her own vacation without a bunch of leeches suffocating her. I would leave too. And seriously who the hell cares what she wears. Im a fan of hers but I don’t worship her like a cult member, what she wears on her head or anywhere else is not my concern

Yes, it was her running mate. My greatest fear???? Oh please. The criticism of Palin is justified.

I have no idea who I want to run in 2012...but I sure do have a long list of who I don’t want to run. she is not on that list. But I am not going to be like an Obamatron who can’t see faults in Obama... and pretend that what she did was not a bonehead move.

It would be great if Rush offered his place in the sun for Sarah/Todd and the family.

The only people who have to learn about the media are the Palin bashers who will facilitate Obama’s second term.

Sarah Palin is the person who has the liberal media’s number
and why they bash her.
If it wasn’t the visor, it would be something else.

The MSM doesn’t give a rats ass about your Huck & Mitt as they don’t stand a chance against Obama and Sarah does.
Thus the Liberal bashing on Sarah.

“she left because she couldnt even enjoy her own vacation without a bunch of leeches suffocating her”

And what did she expect after her whirlwind tour? Did she really believe she could just fade into obscurity on a public beach in Hawaii after her family’s pictures are posted all over the internet and in the media???

Like no one would recognize Todd or Piper???

Is she really that dumb?

She really expected to be incognito? She is lucky there has not been speculation that she is one of Tiger Woods babes!
