The Return of Sarah Palin

The Republican establishment can't stand her. The media mocks her. But Sarah Palin isn't going anywhere.

Far from it.

After laying low for much of this year, Palin is gingerly stepping back into the public arena with a national book tour, a trip to the always-important political state of Iowa, and an eye on making yet another series of splashy endorsements in a variety of competitive Republican primaries.

Five years after rocketing from Alaska obscurity to worldwide fame, Palin wants to be a political player in 2014.

Which begs the question: Does she still matter?

If she starts "making noise" again during the midterms, doesn't she almost have to make a run? If she does what she did last time - the commercials, the bus tour, the videos on PAC sites and then does nothing - what will they say about her relevance then?

Dumb question ... especially after the writer laid out all the "matter" creds.

“......what will they say about her relevance then?”

Who cares what THEY (CNN, etc.) say?

Since she has no trouble getting writers to write about her, she clearly matters.

That doesn’t necessarily translate into a political campaign. She makes waves just by doing what she does, write, speak, give money to unknown politicians trying to make a run.

She has a knack for putting what we all know into a few cogent words that cut to the heart of the matter, and getting the media to repeat it. They mock her but they come running right back to see what she says tomorrow and she inevitably is right on the money.

You read my comments too literally. I wasn’t referring to CNN specifically.

Palin-Cruz 16 dream ticket. Let them duke it out in the primary to show how a classy fight among ideolgical twins can be conducted. Narrow the field and the best person tops the ticket. Watch out Shrillary.

Notice the “etc” next to “CNN” in my comment? YOU are literally projecting.

Palin tells it like it is. Few people can handle that. The only true “Statesman” in the country

Sarah begs for nothing! The MFM will be the one begging when she appears as Super Woman ready to take them on for WTP Face it you kommie klowns, she has not vacated your brain these past years. She begins to stand at bat with the chance of a grand slam in her future. Following that, it’s after you with the bat. And she is a mean hitter.

Or Cruz-Palin either way would be fine with me, but I can just imagine the Treason party and the Repub traitors would go absolutely bat shet crazy doing everything they possibly could to destroy them. They did it to Palin once before, still are. Look what the Repub-traitors are doing already, they are criticizing Cruz more than they do Obama! Incredible!

Perhaps you didn’t notice, but old petey of cnn there knows full damn well that if he wants ANYONE to read whatever it is he has to say, all he has to do is mention Sarah.
Clue. It works every time. So what does that tell you or anyone about her relevance? Last I looked, she wasn’t running for anything and she still gets more attention for a one paragraph post on fakebook or a wittle tweet on twitter than petey has probably ever received in his entire worthless life.

Palin's relationship with Cruz dates to last year, when she endorsed him during his underdog Republican primary bid in 2012. It was Cruz who introduced Palin when she spoke at CPAC in March.
