Could be Sarah wanted to get in good with the establishment Republicans should she herself choose to run for office later.

...and risk lopping off a sizable chunk of her base in the process. Wise move? Me thinks not! For me I'm now viewing Palin through a lens of wary suspicion.

She is IMO trying to gather more people under her tent.

I guess she figures people will forgive her for backing the guy who brought her to national attention...MAYBE?

We’re all guessing, but what do I know?

My guess is she is working to make money, not a real serious future Presidential bid.
