Why do people think she wants to run from the Oval Office?
Better to run the country from the grassroots. And way more effective.
I agree. Palin has a great deal of influence as a writer and journalist. She has Karl Rove shaking in his boots.
More effective for now, because we’ve got Obama in office and it’s what she can do—but to think she couldn’t do more as president is to miss the whole point of her current efforts. Who our elected officials are—locally, in Congress and as president—makes a difference.
