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)

LOL, Weknow better, and we know what we are going to do in 2014
I hope she makes more millions and millions.
As for quitting the term as governor, did Obama complete his term as senator? Did Hillary complete her term as senator?
Damn straight, it's what we have to do.
She makes a profit greater than CNN, I imagine.
He’s the guy who wrote that “Bush’s Brain” book about Karl Rove back when.
MSM’s weekly calendar of “I hast Sarah Palin because she is a(n)....”
Monday: Crazy Bat S**TING moose hunting gun nut
Tuesday: Evil mad scientist
Wednesday: Baby factory
Thursday: Quitter
Friday: Money grubbing liar
Saturday: Baby seal clubber
Sunday: Publicity hound who is irrelevant
That sure is a long-winded way to say he's just another liberal idiot like the rest of Obama's stooges over at PMSNBC.
Increasingly unpopular tea party? Heh.
42% Identify with Obama Politically, 42% with the Tea Party

You forgot “shoots wolves from helicopters” and “can see Russia from her porch.”
President Reagan was denigrated by the left in relation to his intellect, policies, goals etc. President Reagan was immensely successful in his goals. The left fears Palin as they feared and hated President Reagan.
It is amusing to read President Reagan's private letters and thoughts that were published after his death. They revealed a keen and precise intellect that was not of Harvard nor Yale. It was the intellect of reality and not the ideals of the left.
BTTT YOUR EVERY WORD.
Now, about Fast & Furious.....
I ain't biting.
Palin Derangement Syndrome.
I don’t agree with you.
In regards to what?
Coming from a lib, that's a prayer, not a prediction. The liberals are still transparently frightened of Sarah.
The thing I love about barack is that barack NEVER sells barack. /s
Here is an example that proves that Moore is less.
