I agree that her complaining about the media is overdone. As to the rest of the article, I'm just scratching my head... Hillary?! Huh?!

Round one will occur in 2012, which is when Obama will allow Joe Biden to resign and "spend more time with his family." Obama will then ask Hillary to become VP. The Obama ticket will then face a Republican ticket that will include Palin as VP. In my opinion, Clinton's reputation has strengthened since the Democratic primary. Clinton will crush Palin.

Ditto. The issue of complaining about the media is exactly right -- she needs to move on, seem presidential, etc. If she starts complaining about sexism now (no matter how valid the complaints!) people left, center, and yes, right, will get tired of hearing it. That stinks, that's not fair, but that's politics.

The rest is odd. Obama isn't going to get Hillary to be his Veep, nor would Hillary want to. And Palin won't be second banana again either. She's either going to be the nominee or she won't be on the ticket.

the gretest weapon Obama had in 2008 was the MSM. They carried his water for him, they refused to report damaging stories on him, they did not unearth his past etc.

Now if you are going into a fight you try to either destroy your enemy’s weapons or at the very least neuter it.

this is why Palin is attacking the Media. She understands that the media will not give her, nor any gop candidate a fair hearing. Therefore she attacks it, shows their bias at every turn. Another year or two of this and not one supporter would believe anything the media says about her even if they had pictures of her with a gun, bloody clothes standing over a body.

It is a very smart and shrewed gambit on Palin’s part. The recent flap about her travel is a great example. The media does a hit piece she reponds that “once again” the media is out to attack her.

It is Reagans’ “there you go again” defense. she is playing chess while most of her enemies are playing checkers

“No matter who you are or your political affiliation, you cannot deny the fact that Sarah Palin is electrifying.”

I guess, if you include Levi Johnston.

Republican star has had more drama than the “Desperate Housewives” season finale (my wife makes me watch it). “

Anybody who calls himself a man, and actually watches that mushy garbage, can't possibly have his head screed on right.
No surprise his entire article is so full such wacky rubbish.

Therefore, Palin’s time would be better utilized if she explained to people why she is something more than a reality star, like Heidi and Spencer on “The Hills.” “

Have Heidi and Spencer (whoever the heck they are), ever been governors of the biggest state in the US with solid achievements as governor?

The most compelling evidence that Palin’s camp is steering her wrong is the immediate fallout between her camp and McCain's camp following the election.”

The most compelling evidence that Sarah Palin knows exactly what she is doing was for her to take on the ankle biting , backbiting, nasty McCain campaign staff and smack them down.

However, at the end of the campaign, Palin managed to even divide her party. “

This fool is just plain nuts. Hey sucker, just go back to watching "Desperate Housewives" will ya?

So, why is she going around pissing people off?

Nice strawman. All Sarah did was mind her own business and return to Juneau to finish her term until the leftist vultures descended and tried to ruin her financially and politically.

Therefore, Palin's time would be better utilized if she explained to people why she is something more than a reality star

The author conveniently ignores Sarah's 16 years of political experience, the economic speech Sarah made in Hong Kong, the impact her Facebook page has had in derailing two key issues, the policy issues outlined in her book, etc. More pathetic attempts to "tabloidize" Sarah.

The most compelling evidence that Palin's camp is steering her wrong is the immediate fallout between her camp and McCain's camp following the election.

First of all, there is no "camp" behind Palin, she is not a declared candidate for office of any sort. Second of all, she had every right to clear the air about what happened in 2008. And finally, her and McCain remain amicable friends, unfortunately.

Palin's best option is to show the American people that she can engage in political debate

She HAS been engaging in debate. See, here's the thing that drives me bonkers. Her critics completely ignores her record and sets up a narrative of how Palin is so "divisive" when all of the attacks are coming in from her opponents. They're completely disregarding what Palin has accomplished.

Round one will occur in 2012

Hillary is not going to win because she is too old, she is the past, and people will see Obama picking her as it is - crony Washington politics. Furthermore Palin is not going to be anyone's VP anymore. The author, like so many others who criticize Palin, are completely wrong.

I am so sick and tired of linguine spined Republicans rolling over for the MSM and democrats. Now one fights back and you complain. Jeez.

I doubt Sarah is going to take anyone's advice. I hope she doesn't.

Obama is not going to run again because he is going to come up against the birth/constitutional issues this time and he knows he won’t get away with pretending it does not exist. McCain won’t be there to protect him and lie for him anymore.

It’s going to be Hillary next time. That is why we should be talking about Hillary’s and Obama’s appology tour, etc. When discussing failure face’s failed foreign policy, we should never forget Ms. Hillary is his advisor - his Sec. of State.

Gov. Palin should get off the victim media thing now. Everyone who matters know what happened to her. She needs to get into popular policy ideas that she would like to give to the US if she were Obama. For example, she should have written in support of the Republican alternative health care reform offering and explained it to the public since the press won’t.

It makes the Palinites furious when I say these things so I will shut up now.

They keep flinging it at her, and she's showing that it won't stick to her like she were made of -- dare I say it? -- Teflon(tm).

She'll be seasoned, hardened and battle-ready before anyone else even gets out of the starting gate. If they can't take her down now, they won't take her down at all.

The first thing this guy got wrong was thinking that Sarah will ever run as a VP again. “If you are not the lead dog the view never changes.” (Sarah Palin)
The Second thing he got wrong was thinking Hillary could win against Sarah in a debate. Hillary does not have the charisma to stand on the same stage a Sarah Palin. Hillary would break down crying and say I’m in no way tard.

This is what it boils down to:

An idiotic scenario, to put it mildly.

...if Sarah Palin honestly wants to be in the White House, she needs to drop the drama and stick to the issues.

No argument from me, here. ;) Also, lose the teen phrases like "my bad," and stop Tweeting. This might look and sound great to 12 year olds, but it bolsters the impression made on old farts like me (who actually vote) that she simply does not appear Presidential.

She’s not complaining. She’s meeting them head on. She will be the next POTUS.
