I cringe at the thought of drag queens imitating her - this is what I am afraid of happening. When she becomes an pop icon - I don't know what that would do to any further polictical aspirations.
Would a pop icon speak to a right to life rally as Sarah did last nite.? It seems Sarah is getting alot of this stuff out of the way this year i.e. another book, the documentary on AK etc. By the end of the year Sarah will have to make the decision to run or not. If and its a big if Sarah doesn’t run then her support will dry up faster than a rain storm in the desert. All the people who go and see Sarah support her ideals but there is a tacit assumption Sarah will run in ‘12. We have a lot invested in Sarah and with that comes obligations and that is for Sarah to Run for the presidency. If Sarah doesn’t run then they win and we lose but conversely I like it the other way around better WE WIN THEY LOSE.
But every president has been imitated mercilessly. Costume shops are full of Halloween masks of every President since Nixon. Saturday Night Live has played every one of them for a fool. Darryl Hammond alone has made an industry as Clinton, as have Dan Ackroyd as Jummah Cawtah and Dana Carvey as Poppy Bush.
