You were saying ...

Maybe she doesn’t intend to run in 2012 and is just looking for a good paying job. Ever think of that ?

Yes..., very true... we all gotta pay bills... :-)

Her odds of running went from 25% to 0% with this, imo. It’s over. I hope the Republicans can find someone else. I don’t think she’d likely have beat hussein, but at this point I don’t see anyone that can.

I Agree, There is nothing bad about this at all.....if FReepers would actually read the articles in the NYT and WaPo, she is getting TV face time with regular “Specials” and occasional commentary, face book only goes so far.....She just said that she is still campaigning for “conservatives” this year, and is giving the speech at SLC in New Orleans in April which most pundits say means that she is considering running!....SHEESHS!

The former Alaska governor is joining Fox News as a contributor, an executive at the cable news network said today, confirming news first reported by the New York Times. Palin will appear as a commentator on programs across the network, joining a lineup of pundits that includes fellow conservatives Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee. She will also help host a recurring series that profiles everyday Americans.

I am listening to Tammy Bruce right now. She says this can go either way. It just depends on what context she will be on. If she is on once a week doing political commentating on the week’s events, that is a wonderful thing and can work quite well. If she is going the Newt Gingrich route where he is on TV everyday running his mouth, then it could go wrong, she could say something controversial that could get her into trouble. She could have her own half hour commentary discussing the weeks events which could work perfectly. We just have to wait and see what happens

No one thinks Oprah would be a good President.

Depends on the stories she takes on. Oprah did sob stories with the punch line that nobody can help me but the government.

If Gov. Palin starts to showcase people who inspired by overcoming difficulties with self reliance and determination this could be a valuable political vehicle. Basically a show dedicated to people who found success without and despite the government. Introduce to a new generation that the individual can make a difference in their own lives. Rebuild the idea that America is something exceptional.

It will be hard to keep that current for four years. But if she can pull it off it could be very useful. In a time when the world is going to heck, she will be the one reporting the good news.

It depends on what kind of show she appears on. One report has her doing a show highlighting ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things, with a format like Olie North’s “War Stories” A show like this could be very very good.

I think it’ll actually be good for her cause. If she has aspirations of a Presidential run, some regular exposure will soften the (wrongful, yet nonetheless there) “bogeyman” image some have of her. She’ll do fine.

Who are we to second guess Sarah Palin? She has already pulled off what they said could not be done. Looking back at the post here on FR when she stepped down as Governor, the majority right here thought it was a stupid move and that her career in politics was over.

Sarah knew what she was doing and a few months later and the best selling book of 2009 changed almost every ones mind, even of those who despise her. I'm sure if she is going to show up on Fox more and more, I'm not going to be the one to second guess her.

Queue the Romneyvites. Lets the Palin bashing begin. Oh never mind, I see they are already here. The usual suspects. Same people who said it was over for her when she stepped down as Governor.

Yes, I had seen the Fox News confirmation, so I believe it.

I was merely saying that the WaPo’s (or NYTimes’) reporting it meant absolutely nothing.

Regardless of the fact that I like her better than most other nationally prominent politicians, and that I like FoxNews better than most of the rest of the media, I think it is unhealthy to have a revolving door between journalism and politics. Palin would be better off burnishing her policy credentials than courting greater celebrity, and Fox would be better off finding more Britt Hume’s and John Stossel’s and fewer Mike Huckabees.

And oddly, most of them have nothing on their “about” page here at FR. I always have wondered about that.

“But she is a divisive political figure who not only draws the ire of liberals but some Republicans, including staffers who deal with her during her run as John McCain’s running mate. Steve Schmidt, a top McCain strategist, said on “60 Minutes” last night that “there were numerous instances that she said things that were — that were not accurate that ultimately, the campaign had to deal with.”

TYPICAL carping leftists, hoping ONCE AGAIN, the GOP will eat its own.

NOT THIS TIME.

She has too much support - among GOP AND Tea Party People.
