I stand by by original statement, “No other former VP candidate in our history, winner or loser. has remained as relevant on the American political and cultural scene as long as Sarah Palin.”

I stand by that statement as it is historically accurate.

Franklin Roosevelt, after losing the election for Vice President returned to private life until he ran for governor of New York. Being in private life for that time, FDR was not very politically relevant and was not culturally relevant.

Richard Nixon, after losing the 1960 election for president did run run and lose the election for governor of California in 1962 and withdrew from public life until 1968. In the time from 1960 to the time he announced his run for the GOP nomination in 1968, it would be difficult for one to surmise that Richard Nixon was either politically or culturally relevant.

From the moment she was nominated for the vice presidency and clearly to this very day and beyond, there is no doubt that Sarah Palin is both politically and culturally relevant.
