I've read both of Sarah's books and didn't get that impression in either one.
My opinion ... Sarah is wisely staying above the conventional fray, (like the BS way she's been treated by Perry and others) while strongly supporting Tea Party events and substantially mingling with ordinary people.
“Sarah is wisely staying above the conventional fray,”
Staying “above the fray”? What a shame.
We need a fighter who is not afraid of the “fray,” who will get in the fight. Maybe Sarah is not that person.
