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)

I think Junior's quote is unfair to his old man.
That is not the way I heard it reported
Debatable.
Michael Reagan KNOWS his father better than you. Someone you have to live with and it makes ‘your opinion’ of Sarah not being like Reagan null and void. Of course, it’s yours but in REAL TIME it’s null and void. It could be a teachable moment for you learning that your opinion on things you don’t have real knowledge of - falls flat. Just like the media did when their deceitful rug was pulled from them.
GO SARAH!
I’ll leave you to spew out the pablum of propaganda you willingly ate. I’m sure another troll or two will be happy to eat the vomit.
Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet is an optical manager for a major chain. She gets requests for "Palin-style" glasses all the time, even now, and even from women that you know didn't vote for her. And they're not all white, either! When was the last time you saw someone wearing something with the name "Obama" on it?
Ditto.
Thank You.
But she endorsed Juan the lying RINO.
If she had any conservative principles she would not have endorsed Juan the lying RINO
She is not trustworthy.
All I said was I didn't think Palin was the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan or anywhere near it. If that's 'pablum of propaganda' to you then you're, frankly, nuts.
He's not "Junior", "Junior" is the homosexual ballet dancer that spews on MSNBC, Air America and similar venues.
She “quit” because she had so many frivolous lawsuits filed against her in Alaska by ‘Rat operatives (instigated from Illinois) that her modest, personal financial resources could not make a dent in what it would take to defend herself or her actions. Several of these lawsuits, some of which were encouraged by home-grown Alaskan RINOS, would have led to temporary injunctions that would have hamstrung her every movement and IMPOVERISHED THE STATE TREASURY in attempts to defend them. This was Obama-Emmanuel destructive politics at its worst. She worked out a way for the State and herself to win. It was an excellent military minded/political move on her part. Battles are parts of wars.
So you agree it is debatable as to whether or not you think...
Do you have the brand name and style?
If not, I think 2ndDivisionVet can tell you.
Don't believe everything Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Perez Hilton and Kathy Griffith tell you.
No, it's debatable as to whether you think. You appear to just follow along.
Governor Sarah Palin’s glasses are custom made, but based on the Kawasaki 704 series, and the color is 34 gray. The “Sarah Palin” frame — minus the lenses — starts at a suggested $375. Depending on the type of lenses you have installed, the total package can run to $700. Other manufacturers have similar styles for less, just ask your optician.
No, I do not know the brand & style. I have been looking at what has been on display at stores and asked at two of them with no results.
I know it was more than seventeen syllables for sure, believe me.
