Book and speeches that promote ideas are not the same as a appearing in mindless reality show with a bimbo like Kate Gosselin. That borders on the absurd.
She also made appearances for the Arizona Illegal Immigration Bill and the Wisconsin Anti Union Bill while all the others, for example Rick Perry, ran in the other direction. I could go on.
Then, why did she praise and endorse Perry in 2010?
Pandering to illegals isn't any better or worse than windfall profit taxes on oil companies that slow down economic and job growth.

She spent half a day on family camping trip with Kate. Kate didn't even participate in any of the activities. In fact Kate had to leave and the last scenes showed the Palins making fun of Kate. With all the things Palin has done over the last two years, your obsession with that half day of Palin's life is beyond absurd. It's pathetic.

Because Perry was better than KBH. You don't think that he is??

Actually pandering to illegals is worse than a 2% increase in an oil production tax on ones own resource, and BTW, the tax had no effect on oil production. Oil production in Alaska has been gradually trending down through tax increase and through tax decreases.
She's savvy enough to do both. In politics, you have to be seen as likeable: and the target for Sarah Palin's Alaska was a demographic group likely to be favorable to her during as 2012 Presidential run.
And, it didn't hurt that it was *positive* publicity where she controlled the message rather than being hit with set-up questions, lied about, and misquoted.
Nor did it hurt that she was smart enough to arrange to be PAID *FOR* the publicity, rather than expend scarce cash to pay someone else for it.
So she got paid for editorial control for a message presenting her in a favorable life.
Just another day in the life of Our Lady of The Tundra, She of the Immaculate ConventionTM.
Then, why did she praise and endorse Perry FOR GOVERNOR in 2010?
Asked and answered.
Cheers!
