I guess I’ve got my catty streak like any woman, but my reaction to Sarah Palin was always about admiration. Kind of, “when I grow up I want to be just like her.” Even though I’m older than she. It was a crushing disappointment to watch her get out of politics and, really, out of public life.
Palin isn't out of politics, in 2010 she was the single most important player of either party, and in 2012, she was the most successful individual in GOP politics, aside from her other endorsements and campaigning, she gave us Senator Ted Cruz over Dewhurst, and she gave us our only Senate pick up in Deb Fischer, over Senator Bob Kerry for an open seat held by the democrats.
