Finally someone gets it without all the fawning and slobbering over Palin; and this is most likely a two part strategy:
1) She's going to use this Alaska documentary to supplement parts of her book, specifically oil and gas resource development and delivery with effectively zero impact on the environment. This should help sell to the unwashed, the concept of domestic energy independence.
2) Take the revenues from the documentary to fund Conservatives' campaigns, possibly including her own if she decides to run for public office.
If I'm right, it's a very clever plan.
Thanks for the insightful comments Cobra.
I am loving the idea, I want to learn more about Alaska, and the beauty which is Alaska, she can talk about ANWAR. I think the Hillbuzz guys posted a really get article about why they think this is a masterful idea..kinda ironic that Hillary Clinton supporters get it while others decided to trash Sarah without getting the gist of what she is doing..
You know something, we keep saying how we are going to do everything we can to make sure the MSM, DNC, and RNC dont do to Sarah Palin what they did to Hillary Clinton and that were going to do everything we can to help Palin. That remains 100% true and will not change.
But, honestly, every day we see clearly this woman might not need our help.
She is doing a REMARKABLE job all her own of beating the MSM, DNC, RNC, and White House at their own games.
Word is Palin is negotiating to get a Reality Adventure Series about Alaska, which would feature her family, traveling around the state, teaching America about our Last Frontier and the Palins themselves.
Palin would control the content, the editing, the production, and the broadcast.
In essense, these would be hourlong campaign commercials where Palin would get to present her brand: Alaska, Family, Nature, Independence, Going Rogue, Loving America.
It is an absolute stroke of pure unadulterated genius that only Sarah Palin could pull off.
A travelogue thats not really a travelogue, but a free campaign commercial for a candidate who will have an hour a week to show America the sides of herself and her family she wants shown, while captivating the country with the gorgeous scenery of a state most find pure magic.
Genius.
Shes going to define how America sees her.
The show will air in 2011 sometime. Maybe Fall of 2010, so Palin can still be on track to declare her candidacy on February 6th, 2011 as we think she will which is Ronald Reagans birthday.
In other news, there is no interest at all in a Reality Series starring Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney, traveling in Minnesota, Utah, Michigan, and Massachusetts, eating cucumber and mayonnaise sandwiches dipped in paste, dunked in skim milk. Pawlenty apparently pitched the idea, or started to, but everyone in the room fell asleep before he could get past his opening joke, which was, of course, about the OJ Simpson trial (since Pawlentys humor is always so dated, unfunny, and not relevant to anything thats currently in the news).
If this deal goes through, wow, its incredible.
It blows away anything the MSM did for Dr. Utopia in the leadup to his run. Palin will well-known and well-loved by hundreds of millions once this show hits the air.
Oh, wait, shes already loved by hundreds of millions now, and she doesnt even have a show yet.
Go, Sarah, Go!
history of the Seward's folly? check
Klondike goldrush? check.....the Federal parks, the state parks, the timber industry, the miners check check check
this will be an hourlong wonderland visit with little germs of Palin’s worldview thrown in. It is a masterstroke.
How the industry and environment can coexist. how big the world really is. etc etc
