At first this seemed pretty insightful. But where do you see that the Palins are moving to the lower 48? Quite the contrary, they seem to love Alaska. Thus, merely going out of office doesn’t do one thing to change those distances, it only privatizes the expense of traveling.

I don't see her moving to the Lower 48. Keep in mind that two of the frivolous (and dismissed) ethics complaints against her were that she took time from her duties in Alaska to come to the Lower 48 for speeches, even though she turned around and hurried back to Alaska.

I expect her to come south, stay for three weeks, give a dozen speeches (half for "organization building and half for income) and then return to Alaska. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
