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.

To accept a cabinet post for most former presidential contenders, you are right, it is to bury them.
Now let’s discuss Palin in a cabinet position. A bureaucracy shook up and slimmed down if not eliminated. Her resume strengthened and enhanced greatly. Liberal heads exploding in a wave from east to west. Life would be great!
