She is no longer tied to defending her tenure against trumped up charges that end up nowhere. She is no longer being Gilmore'd and is actually going on offense.

Have the Alaska bloggers been chronicling and stalking every move of Sarah Palin as of late and spinning it in such a way that MSNBC can't but help to buy into it? Have we read any stories lately about new ethics complaints being filed or complaints from state legislators because Sarah Palin may want to go speak at a dinner out of state? No. She's not the governor anymore. Half the PR battle was won with her resignation. By taking herself out of the spotlight of the governor's office and acting in the privacy that it afforded regular citizens without title, she literally pulled the plug on most of what the smear campaign was trying to do to her. It's a brilliant move considering that she presents well researched pieces on her Facebook page which ultimately requires detractors to shift from personally attacking her to having to take her on about the issues. In this arena, the arena of ideas, Palin wins hands down. Her well documented dissection of Obamacare took down the "death panel" provisions. She has created a fire storm that has focused positive attention on the issue even if her detractors are still spewing hatred toward her. Instead of poking fun at her for being "Caribou Barbie," they are now genuinely angered and anguished over the fact that <a href="http://twitter.com/tahDeetz/status/3415933851" rel="nofollow">their malcontent messiah is hitting a rough patch</a> because of her. Suddenly there is an actual policy disagreement with her now from the left instead of the silly clothing barbs. She is a major threat to liberalism. Their unhingedness is allowing her presence to cause them to expose their philosophy for the morally and intellectually bankrupt ideology that it really is.

No. She’s not the governor anymore.

The other problem is when she is not scripted to a T she looks like an idiot, i.e. Katie Couric interview. I like Palin, but in now way do i think she is the future of this party. She is a good cheerleader for the party, but should not be running it. The question is can she stay relevant for 3 more years?

Roughly the margain of an Obama v. Palin matchup. This poll is clearly oversampling those who approve of Obama. GeneK,

Do you think that Barack Obama was even on the radar in 2005 as a contender in 2008? I'm not going to try to be a prophet and suggest that Sarah Palin will be president in 2012, but I think it is clear that you cannot simply put up some numbers and let that stand on its own. Certainly, Hillary Clinton knows a little something about another candidate sneaking up on her. GeneK, a lot can change in three years.
