This is a function of who is in the news and in power and who isn’t. Nothing more.
Palin is fine.
It's a function of the stupidity of the American people.
Really?
As you point out, she's not in the news and in not power. She quit her last office and declined to run for the presidency.
Avoiding the presidential race on her resume was probably a good thing, but Palin needs to get back into the game if she wants to remain relevant.
Maybe she should consider running for the Democrat Senate seat coming up in 2014?
Then we'll know for sure if she's fine or not.
