But she *is* accepting and speaking at some engagements...even ones where she travels to foreign countries to make those engagements.
So I can only conclude that there is a strategy being employed, in picking which events will be attended, and for maximizing the best benefit derived, with the speaking fee, being only one consideration.
That said, There are obviously some events are more important for their non monetary values to Mrs Palin.
I find it hard to think that no matter the speaking fee, or lack of one, should have been a factor, when it came to appearing at those two specific events that i mentioned.
Those decisions, as an outsider to her planning, seemed contrary to her best interests, and my hopes for her potential.
We have over 3 years to the election. All she has to do now is keep her name in the press and make sure people remember her.
The Association of Republican women is a bunch of liberal to moderate rinos. She was smart to ignore them.
