Lambert gives me the creeps. But I’ve found a solution—don’t watch.

As for Palin, she can & should do her thing, but trying to compete against Obama for the pop culture vote is probably not a good strategy, assuming that she actually does have further political aspirations, which I question.

I think Obamas “pop culture” vote will die off when 3 million college students graduate this year and can’t find a job. Similar to what happened to Carter.

Agreed. I'm just dismayed to see Sarah being tied in so closely now to show biz, pop culture and tabloid sensationalism....and she's brought it on herself.

Although we share the same philosophy, I'm afraid I'm losing interest in her as presidential timber, especially after her endorsement and campaigning for McManiac.

She's making so many questionable choices, I truly believe she's not going to run for higher office again, and I wouldn't blame her, frankly. I'm just not hitching my star exclusively to her anymore......she isn't turning out to be a Margaret Thatcher inspiration-type, at least to me.

Pity. Too bad she's being mentioned in the same breath as Adam Lambert.

Guess what? Gov. Palin has made it this far in life without your “advice.”

Palin has not acted against any meaningful conservative principle.

Perhaps you should take a good hard look at what motivates your political thinking.

I don’t think Sarah Palin is out to compete with anyone. Nor does she want to be anyone’s pop idol. She has a book out. It’s traditional for authors to make the rounds. She’s a pretty down to earth person and doesn’t see herself as “above” anyone, including those who watch the Tonite Show. I bet Reagan would not have had any problems sitting down with Johnny Carson as he was a man of the people as well. Perhaps part of our problem is that we’ve created this image of politicians. This is okay to do, that is not. This show is okay, that one is too folksy and lowbrow. Look where those elitist expectations have gotten us: lawyers in congress and a Marxist professor who knows nothing of the real world in the White House. Sarah goes where the people are. As Michael Reagan said, she’s his dad in a skirt. Never thought I’d see another Reagan in my lifetime, but whether she runs or not, she’ll be a force for conservative values and an advocate for the silent majority in flyover country.
