Sarah is selling Sarah. The former vice presidential candidate and half-term governor of Alaska is a commodity of one and a marketing machine. She has created a new politics of profit.
Palin's reanimation on the tea party stage probably means no more than the other intentions she has floated but never executed. She spent almost a year of the last presidential election cycle teasing the far right that she was going to run for president. She never did, but lots of network TV interviews and speculative articles drove up her name recognition and brand identification.
And she's not running again.
Palin is re-running the same show in her home state of Alaska by hinting that she is going to be a candidate for the U.S. Senate. She will not run though. There is too much risk of failure. She's not the near-unknown who was elected governor of Alaska and then quit 2½ years into the job. She has a profile, and she intends to use it to make money, which is one commitment she knows how to keep. Running and losing is always bad for business.
Palin is a product. Not a candidate.
Politically, Sarah Palin is an opposite gender version of Donald Trump. She makes grandiloquent statements about candidacies and a future that she knows will never transpire. Trump and Palin lack the courage to run for president but have profitably monetized the speculation about a candidacy. Trump cannot abide the notion of losing, which he knows is inevitable, and he fears what that might do to his image and revenue stream. Palin is self-aware enough to realize that she has neither the intellect nor popular support outside the increasingly unpopular tea party.
So why not make a buck?(continued)

And don't you know that James has never made anything like $12 million dollars in his entire life, and the fact that some "half-term" Caribou Barbie did so in a single year steams him like nothing else ever could! LOL
Yep, and many on FR will agree as well.
LOL CNN..a network that NO ONE and I mean NO ONE watches..for someone that is supposedly irrelevant, they sure do spend a lot of time talking about her and thinking about her dont they
James C. Moore the Dinosaur.
Ohh, James is jealous much!!!
Flak. Target. Heh.
Jimmy makes it pretty obvious what he fears the most, doesn’t he?
I think James comes on to FR from time to time and pretends to be a conservative.
This is wishful thinking on their part that she is the equivalent of Trump.
She probably won’t run for Senate, but this writer tries to wish away her real influence and political acumen that has and will continue to result in conservative candidates being elected.
Palin is self-aware enough to realize that she has neither the intellect nor popular support outside the increasingly unpopular tea party.
Increasingly unpopular?
It’s hell when you believe your own propaganda.
But when I do, I am never disappointed by the epic smack down Sarah's Supporter give them!
Wonder if he was stomping his little foot and shaking his little fist when he typed that, LOL!
And is this writer writing about Palin just to get people to read and comment on his column when usually no one would even care what he wrote.
Well I clicked through just to see what kind of snarky metrosexual blogger decided to call Sarah Palin’s courage into question....

Pretty much speaks for itself. He’s just older than I figured he’d be.
Everybody knows that the only legitimate way for a politician to cash in is with a phony PC “charity” like the Clinton Global Initiative...
