If nymag think Sarah Palin is in this for the money, they don’t know her, but are projecting their own love of money onto her.
That's exactly right. While finances were certainly part of Sarah's decision to leave the governor's office, with her household going down fast because of the Rats' coordinated attacks, she means to strike back against her liberal tormentors and to win the Presidency in 2012, and that takes money and LOTS of it.
And BTW, I didn't see NY Mag dissecting Clinton or Gore's private speaking engagements and business activities after they left office.
