There’s a sense, in other words, that Palin’s moment has already passed, whether she knows it or not.
“Sarah Palin can and should have done so much more in the last two years to bolster her credentials, to demonstrate depth, to demonstrate substance as opposed to style,” said former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. “She had a window and I don’t think she used it wisely.”

The Washington elites are entirely clueless. She's written two best-selling books, helped numerous conservative candidates get elected in 2010, drawn supportive crowds wherever she's gone, and made major addresses to conservative organizations. They believe that because she doesn't have the "good-old-boys" type organization that Romney and now Perry have, she's crippled.

The other conservative candidates have risen and fallen in the polls these past couple of months and it shows how mercurial the Republican field is viewed right now. They (meaning the conservatives) are not decided on a candidate just yet while the elites have settled on Romney. I guess we shall see how it all shakes out in the next couple of weeks.

You forgot to mention her televised journey in Alaska with Kate Plus 8 after Palin quit her elected job.

This Palin “Will I? Won’t I?” sideshow is quality entertainment, though.
