Actually during her 20 year in politics, Governor Palin earned her reputation as being a strong leader, a reformer, someone who can take on the establishment and beat them.
Since Palin came on the national scene 3 1/2 years ago, she has helped conservatives make historical gains.
Palin is currently playing an important role in the effort to defeat Mitt Romney.
Why did she show up at CPAC this year and not the last three despite being asked repeatedly? She thought she was to big for CPAC till the last year she saw her star fading she can’t live without that once you get that taste of power you do anything to keep it.
It is interesting to note Sarah's words when she is asked about Romney. She won't go out and attack him, instead she softly woos him to come to the conservative side.
I am thinking that she realizes the best way to reveal who Mitt really is, is to gently and firmly remind us of who is he not.
It is like witnessing to a non-believer. You might ask them if they believe in Christ and get one response, and probably a fight, but if you gently ask them several times if they would come to church with you, and they won't - Then there you are. You haven't wasted a lot of energy on them and they have revealed their true colors.
