THAT GIVES HER 12 TO 18 MONTHS OF FACETIME ON TV ON A REGULAR BASIS SEEN BY MILLIONS EACH TIME...PLUS ALL HER SPEECHES...SHE’LL BE EXCELLENTLY POSITIONED TO ANNOUNCE SHE IS RUNNING.”

Ditto!

Pure hog vomit

Ha! That's one I've not heard of before. You certainly know how to turn a phrase.

She was picked for VP,

And that worked out well for her, didn't it!

What would she accomplish as a member of Congress? Virtually nothing.

Now, you don't know that! Besides, doesn't really make any difference now that she'll be on FOX. That could vault her right into office

Your reasoning is the same condescending BS tripe that's been heard over and over again.

Nope, nothing condescending about it. All I'm saying is just because you think she should be President it won't happen in '12 IMO.Maybe some day, but not that soon

after she’s been on the air a bunch of times (so that it doesn’t just seem like a campaign stunt) she should publicly invite Obambi to a series of live TV interviews and/or debates with NO TELEPROMPTER ALLOWED....... he’d refuse of course but it could be fun to make him appear to all as the cowering weasel that he is...........

[Enchante]

I don’t think being a Rep. in Congress for the minority party brings any significant public exposure or opportunity to build any national track record..... especially in the current environment where the ‘Rats control both houses and the WH..... the best she could do in that situation would be to issue PRs and statements, and she’ll have a far bigger megaphone on Fox, imho.

She needs to pursue her unique career with hints of Ronald Reagan -— he did his broadcast/ideas before he became Gov. of Calif., while Sarah has already been Gov. (not saying Gov. of Alaska is comparable to Gov. of Calif. but at least it’s real executive experience, unlike Obambi, Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, Albore, and almost anyone the ‘Rats have put forward in recent years).

I think she can now broaden and deepen her experience in the public battles of ideas ala Reagan.... granted, she’s now in a very unconventional path for a national pol with presidential aspirations, but then so much about her is unique.

Brevity is the soul of wit. You do a great job summarizing the facts.

[mupcat]

Let's see.........FOX NEWS vs. member of congress.......I'll take Fox News for $1000 Alex.

Both obviously would give her exposure, and am certainly looking forward to what she does on FOX, but not sure she won't be preaching just to the choir. I'm sure there will be some curiosity seekers that will tune in to watch her, but not sure how long that will last.

I would think a couple of years in Congress could expose more of the serious/intellectual side of her that most of her critics feel she doesn't possess. She'll certainly attract attention in whatever format she's in, but, IMO, Congress is a more formal setting in which to express herself.

You’ve got that right. She’s driving them crazy and hasn’t even started with FOX.

[Once-Ler]

I’m thrilled to see this. It’s good for Palin and for Fox.

HMM multi year could be Feb 2010- Feb 2012 leading right into the next Presidental race. Wonder if we will see an Obama interview?

[chris_bdba]

“After spending five months pondering a fat stack of TV offers”

They might have been some of the offers?

[FreeReign]

I dont think she can win.

Probably not New Yawk.

North Carolina, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, Florida, New Mexico... are states she could flip over and win.

[Hojczyk]

She will be on O’Reily tomorrow

[Polybius]

Let's get a grip on reality.

Sarah Palin was elected Governor of a State with half of the population of San Diego, CA ..... then she quit before her first term was up.

Has anybody ever heard of this guy outside of San Diego County?

Mayor Jerry Sanders (R) of San Diego, CA has "executive experience" over twice as many citizens as Sarah Palin ever had and he is on his second term which means he did not quit in the middle of his first term.

If either Barack Obama or Sarah Palin were white males, like the much more experienced Mayor Jerry Sanders, nobody would have seriously considering either one of them for any high national office in 2008.

Barack Obama was America's first Affirmative Action President and America does not need a second one.

"Can not wait to see her on imus. He talks her down but if he meets her his view will change."

Imus??? lol. Who listens to him? Dude's a putz.

[NoRedTape]

"Mayor Jerry Sanders (R) of San Diego, CA has "executive experience" over twice as many citizens as Sarah Palin ever had and he is on his second term which means he did not quit in the middle of his first term.

That's nice, but how about some quotes? What does he stand for? Why haven't folks heard of him? I live in CA and have never heard of him. ...?

[Prole]

Leno, O’Brien, Fallon and the shrinking-viewer evening news of CBS, ABC and MSNBC.

Only fools watch such programming these days.

Let them all rot in their hatred.

[PIF]

“I’ll watch any program she is on.”

Which is why she’ll help BOR’s ratings against Beck.

[PIF]

It’s a multiyear contract which will exclude 2012, unless she quits which will be a self-defeating move.

She’s just getting more time to get her point of view across to more people before Hussein shuts Fox down in the coming centralized take over of the US. She knows the fix is in.

Mix in Hussein Ezecutive Orders and some of Clinton’s EOs and it will not take much to tip the balance.

Excellent post!!
