I realize you misread my post, but we have no way of knowing if she wouldn’t still be rich and famous.
But are you saying she “sold out” for money?
I do not think Sarah Palin sold out for money when she accepted McCain’s offer to be his VP nominee.
I think it was an honorable decision and that she did a good job at it.
I do think that had Sarah not been the 2008 GOP candidate for VP then she would now likely be nowhere near as rich and famous as she is, though I am not suggesting that this is why she did it.
