I’ve thought for some time that Palin, if she wants to run or even once again be part of the ticket, should forego appearances in these venues: not so much for ‘what it means’, but for what the MSM (CNN among them) will say it means about her. She’s playing , and has ALWAYS played, directly to the Tea Party constituency, but IMHO she would be better served (if those are her ambitions) to start ALSO
putting forth a more ‘serious’ image.I have no idea at this point if she sees herself as being an essential ingredient in “kingmaking” or whether she wants to be the King herself.
Still, this kind of thing probably cannot go on into 2012, and win her, or her feasibility, wider and wider support.
Of course, ‘that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong”.
I disagree. Pretending to be an academic bore with an oh-so-solemn approach to every issue will lose her entire constituency and gain her nothing. One can be extremely serious about right and wrong, and about policies that have been shown to work vs. those known to fail, again and again, without a serious "image."
The Democrats want us to run a bore who will play the "government must be the solution" game with their candidate.
What do you mean as a “serious image”? Walking around in a dress going to a academic institution to make a speech? Who cares what CNN says about her, they would say it anyway no matter what she did or wherever she goes.
She’s running, and these informal press opportunities are the only way she can talk to the press right now beyond her Fox contract. Not pre-announcing her schedule was a brilliant way of keeping the media and the unions from being able to make protesters the story.
Aye, you've nailed it: you are wrong!!
Be Ever Vigilant!!
Sarah Palin is the Tea Party. Perhaps someday you and the rest of the intellegencia will get off your high horses and understand that. By serious image you mean like obama, Reid and Pelosi who are seriously drowning us in debt?
Here is a virtual dollar so you can go buy a virtual clue.

You left out this part; and when the serious candidates gather for battle plans, she can fetch coffee, and maybe whip out a batch of cookies.
