Sarah Palin Redux

She's b-a-a-a-a-c-c-k. Sarah Palin, that is. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Former GOP vice-presidential candidate SP. She's back and the U.S. media have been following her every step as she begins a nationwide book tour, which will, if nothing else, make her rich beyond her wildest dreams. The media has also been cocking an ear to every word, hoping perhaps she will slip up and make some gaffe that they will get to replay over and over and over. Odds are a gaffe is not likely, not with the likes of Oprah Winfrey conducting the interviews. After all, her toughest questions were along the lines of what do you think about your would-be son-in-law posing in Playgirl? Tough stuff. This is all about Sarah and she will sign a lot of books and regardless of what she says, this is the beginning of the long trek towards running for president in 2012. Her biggest problem is that she has large negative ratings and just as there were large numbers of people in both parties who would never have voted for Hillary Clinton for president, there are large numbers who would never vote for Sarah Palin. Including me.
