It is a matter of opinion .. those that seek to tear down Sarah, voice the negative side and the ones realizing her conservative views, and what she accomplished in Alaska before she was chosen to be a candidate for VP, want her conservative views to be a part of America's future.
She is the best candidate we could have ... at this time. Few if any of us could stand up under the ugly media lies said about her during the time she was campaigning. She was brave and willing to go forward. She does have a family to consider with two young children.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in writing books, making speeches for a conservative America and doing a Television program that lasted for a few weeks.
God bless and protect,and prosper Sarah Palin.
Our other candidates are Washington politicians already corrupted by the system..
LOOK AT THE MESS WE HAVE NOW.
There is no pretense in my views.

Really, based on what? Certainly not her record...
She did a lousy job as mayor of a town with fewer than 6500 residents. Her botching of a simple land purchase (cost - $250K) led to years of delay, a lost law suit, the exercise of eminent domain and a final price tag of nearly $2 million.
She raised the town sales tax.
She increased the town's budget by 50% (bigger government).
She inherited $1 million in long-term debt and grew it to $20 million by the time she left office.
As a half-term governor she committed the people of Alaska to a $500 million (that's right - half a billion) contribution to the much touted pipelin construction --- and three years later there isn't even a contract to build it in place.
And, let's not forget the windfall profit tax that she imposed on oil companies - a non-negotiated, uni-lateral tax that was in addition to the existing corporate tax and the existing oil revenue sharing royalty program.
Please explain why that makes her the best we could have.
