To avoid the circus of the media and the way they handle debates is the best thing a candidate could do. It shows she takes the American people seriously, that she doesn’t want to subject us to the media’s idiocy.
The debates are a ridiculous game. You take them seriously, given how they’re run? You take the debates seriously?
Governor Palin speaks directly to the people, this is what she’s been doing and it’s what she’ll keep doing. To go around the media is both morally right and intellectually brilliant.

You have got to be kidding me. You really believe this? As for your tagline about her not being for sale???? She did Sarah Palin's Alaska for free? She donated all of her royalties from her books to charity? She always refuses the honorarium for her speaking engagements?

Sarah Palin is developing and marketing her brand. She is making a fortune and doing so on the backs of all her adoring fans who wait breathlessly for her next book...

Sarah Palin is a politician and as such, is self-serving. She's made a fortune being "a maverick" or "going rogue". Its easy to stir the pot and make a fortune at it when you don't have to be accountable for your actions. If she were in office, she would be accountable. She's not.

It seems to me that she wants to hang out on the sidelines sniping at Rick Perry as a crony capitalist, or "Herb" Cain as the "flavor of the month", or Bachman or Romney or the rest, doing her best to bloody their noses and then jump in late in the game to avoid scrutiny and avoid the rigors of the campaign. She refuses to stand toe to toe with the other candidates and risk embarrassing gaffes (that she likes to harp on re the other candidates) yet you feel that this is somehow brilliant? Its not brilliant, its cowardly. She's not taking the American people seriously; quite the contrary, she is showing her contempt for them and the process.

I think that Sarah Palin has started to believe all the fawning accolades of her supporters and has gotten quite full of herself. SHe doesn't want "handlers" telling her what to do; she does not want to be constrained by campaigning or actually doing what it takes to be president. She (and her supporters) seem to believe that she should just be allowed to walk in at the convention and be ordained as the candidate.

Sarah Palin is far from brilliant. I've heard her on tv; I've even attended speaches she's given. Somehow, I come away with the impression that she does not actually believe what she is saying. She seems to like playing provacatuer. She likes to stir the pot and get attention and her sycophant supporters all gather round in a happy little Sarah circle-jerk congratulating her for her brilliant insight; her wonderful comments... SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN UNEDUCATED BOOB WHEN SHE SPEAKS!!!! How can you poeple take her seriously?????
