Exactly! Why run for office when you can influence policy with your influence....

[who knows what evil?]

Looks like Sarah is already running the country...

Why run? Because sooner or later some of these idiotic policies will become law, no matter how effective Sarah has been in shaping the discussion from the outside. The health care abomination is a prime example. We need a leader like Sarah Palin that isn't going to fumble around and expose our weakness on the world stage. The Obama administration doesn't get anything right the first time. They always have to backtrack or “explain” what their policy “really” means.
