It has been a busy month for Sarah Palin. The Alaska governor celebrated her 45th birthday last week and continued to feature in a raft of news stories despite what now seems a calculated effort on her part to minimise publicity.
According to Republicans I've been talking to, this is the best strategy for her if she is to establish herself as a serious contender for the party's presidential nomination in 2012.
At present she is a pop culture phenomenon, rather than the serious political force that her admirers thought she would become. But that can change.

At the rate we're going, by the time she runs, the calls for her to burn an American flag or stomp on a crucifix by the leftist media will be a requirement for the office of President.

Many see Palin as a "religion".
Wait a minute . . . did not a Pop culture Icon just get elected ?
If you want “STUPID’s” Vote . . ya gotta go Pop.
But 4 yrs from now Obama may have Fixed Stupid’s Vote . . .as in they won’t be fooled again by Pop Culture’s candidate.
And you need to crawl back to Romney headquarters and kneel before your liberal master.
She should campaign against McCain when he’s running for life in 2010.
Look in a mirrow and say that to yourself,using yourself.Might open an eye or two.
You’re a Mitt supporter, right?
“At present she is a pop culture phenomenon,.....”
No, that’s what Obama is.
1. he persecuted Christians and
2. when he was evangelizing the rest of the world about Jesus and writing books of the Bible?
You dont make sense and yet you sit in judgement of others.
I thought it curious that she initially accepted the invite to CPAC, and then withdrew ‘because of back problems’.
Considering that CPAC is still weeks away, is the Gov. going to have surgery or some other long term treatment?
When the invite first made news, many, including Palin, seemed existed.
Then, she suddenly withdraw her name.
Hmmmmmm.
Speaks directly to the people and relates conservatism to her audience not unlike a former CA governor that became our greatest President of the 20th century.
That said, I fear ACORN, Rahmbo's 2010 census, illegals and commie-obommie's Chicago mob machine will eliminate any hope of honest elections forever.

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
That is far more insightful than most of what we get here. Palin’s doing just fine, she has exhibited more fight, courage, and backbone than anyone else in the GOP. Maybe that is why the majority of republicans say they want the party to be more like her and less like the spineless twits that we seem to have so many of.
All bow at the Neo-Liberal Myth Romney!
I suggest kindly and most respectfully that you STFU. It’s bad enough you trolls go on about Slick Willard being a Conservative, but I think you can stop doing the dirty work for the media in attacking Gov. Palin.
She never confirmed she was going to CPAC. She was invited last year, but didn’t attend because CPAC falls during the 90 day Alaskan legislative session. I’ll bet her video taped address will generate more coverage and interest than the speeches given by people who are actually there.
I haven’t heard anything about a back problem.
