I think she may be back in th elective fray down the road when the kids are older. In the meantime, she’s keeping up her influence and making some money as an analyst.
Of course, if she were offered a Cabinet post, I suspect she’d probably take it. Interior or Energy (unless we get rid of Energy) would be good for her.
Of course that whole 2010 thing of getting the house back into the hands of the Republicans, mutiple Governorships and statehouses, and her pledge to work the same Partybuiding plan for 2012, after being told by the Party Elders to take a hike for now because it’s not her turn - all that is no big deal. She’s just been sitting around doing nothing.
Probably not.
The hormones and egos that drive peoples' ambitions toward the presidency do not carry over to appointments to lesser positions.....Hillary Clinton being a notable exception among former top-tier presidential candidates.
Why would Sarah EVER accept an appointment to a politically dead-end position like a being an unknown head honcho for a sprawling government bureaucracy?
Outside of Hillary and one or two others, how many Cabinet members can anyone even name?
No, Sarah is slated for more productive things in the future....and her conservatism should not be wasted in the mind-numbing labyrinths of government agencies.
To suggest Palin accept a Cabinet post is to inadvertently want to bury her.
