It turns out Sarah Palin left the governorship of Alaska for a better position. She's become king King Midas, to be exact. Everything she touches turns to gold.
Her memoir, "Going Rogue," was the best-selling hardcover nonfiction volume of 2009. She's got a TV gig with Fox News that reportedly pays $1 million a year. She commands $100,000 for a speaking appearance.
But it's not all about the money. Palin has also become the fairy godmother of the Republican Party. In the Aug. 31 primaries, all five candidates she tapped with her wand came away victorious including Joe Miller, who upset incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Those she passed over turned into pumpkins.
"Sarah Palin has special medicine," wrote John Dickerson of the liberal online magazine Slate after the primaries. "The Palin brand now grows ever stronger because other Republicans will want to access that magic."
All that looks like the perfect prelude to something even bigger. After steadfastly refusing invitations for political gatherings in Iowa, site of the first presidential contest in 2012, she's going to Des Moines on Sept. 17 for the Republican Party's annual Reagan Day dinner. To run for president, one local GOP official was quoted saying, "She needs to be here and she's doing that with a big, high-profile event."
If she enters the race, Palin will have the inside track. A recent Gallup poll found that among Republican voters, she's more popular than Abraham Lincoln, with a 76 percent favorable rating higher than any other potential GOP presidential candidate listed by Gallup. The nomination is starting to look like it's hers for the asking.
But appearances are deceiving.(continued)

Impressive home page, Ridgerunner! (aka”newcomer”) heh, heh.
I do believe in free will - that’s why we have barry and every other evil roaming about .
I KNOW His voice and I know HIM and HE KNOWS me. You are about 20+ yrs too late with your preaching.
Remember, SARAH knows HIM, also. Just like Esther did. You don’t have HIM cornered for yourself. Don’t be an Elijah - as he thought/said he was the only one. He was cut down to size with that. Moreover he knew better. I trust you do, too.
Thank you for your service.
Not much apparently. Reagan didn't quit. Reagan didn't whine about the unfair press. Regan didn't make excuses. Reagan just went out and won. And once he won, he led. Palin is no Ronald Reagan.
Go back and re-read your statement above.It denies Free Will.
Sooo many people still pissed that she didn’t ride in on a white horse and pull JD Buffoonâs chestnuts out of the fire against a backstabbing weasel. He was a lost cause. It is a shame however that those two were the best Arizona Republicans could come up with. McCain was going to spank JD’s goofy a$$ regardless of what Palin had or had not said.
Perhaps it’s the way you read things. I haven’t read one thing we agree on yet.
GO SARAH!!
If they speak ill of her, she quits. Amen Brother
Of course, when you look like Sarah, it's impossible not to look stunningly beeautiful.
Sarah didn’t whine - She went AROUND THEM and pulled their deceitful rug from them! They still haven’t been able to get up and recover from their crushing blow. And neither have you, it’s seems.
ONLY CONSERVATIVE EYES can see that.
After a shallow statement like that maybe you should fast forward to Proverbs.
I believe by reading His Word that we are in the End Times Only if they are called by YHvH.
and the only players on the world stage today work for the Evil One.
I disagree with his opinion.
I think Sarah Palin looks great with or without the glasses. I was looking for a pair of glasses like hers but haven’t found any.
If they file bogus ethics complaints against her on a daily basis that cost her millions of her own money to defend, she attacks in another direction. BTW, no one can file such complaints against a sitting president.
After a shallow statement like that maybe you should fast forward to Proverbs.
Open the whole Word and seek the face of YHvH.
Of course she did.
ONLY CONSERVATIVE EYES can see that.
You claim that only blindly following Palin can make one a conservative and I'm the one who can't see?
