Palin to FOX

I was damn sure Sarah Palin was going to run for Prez in 2012, but her most recent move seems to fit more into the "make lots of money" narrative rather than the "build a reputation" narrative. Cometary just leads to far to many quotes on tape that can be brought back up in a campaign.

Freepers, of course, think this is BRILLIANT!

668 - Neighbor of the Beast has a bit of the soft bigotry of low expectations:

You get the feeling she’s going to be extremely good at it. Has some experience and thinks real fast on her feet. Can overcome a faulty teleprompter, string a long sentence together and end it making a point. Telegenic.

She's been on TV before and can memorize a mean speech. Plus her sentences generally end with points! Plus she's purty.

euram's hope springs eternal:

That gives her 12 to 18 months of facetime on TV on a regular basis seen by millions each time, plus another bestselling book I’m sure, plus all of her speeches at various events, and campaigning in the general election. She’ll be excellently positioned to announce that she is running.

Extremely Extreme Extremist on how cunning this move is:

This has thrown her enemies off-balance - again. Now they back to worrying about whether or not she's going to run for President. Palin is keeping them guessing.

This logic also holds should she go on a shooting-spree.

Extremely Extreme Extremist again:

She already has 16 years of political experience under her belt.

Why does she need to go to Congress and just be one of hundreds of lawmakers?

The liberals in Lancey Howard's head are not happy!

Oh man... do NOT be standing near any scumbags when they hear this! ...You'll get poop all over yourself when their heads explode!

Enchante has a great plan:

after she’s been on the air a bunch of times (so that it doesn’t just seem like a campaign stunt) she should publicly invite Obambi to a series of live TV interviews and/or debates with NO TELEPROMPTER ALLOWED....... he’d refuse of course but it could be fun to make him appear to all as the cowering weasel that he is...........

She should totally issue weekly challenges to Obama! That is sure to make her seem serious and awesome.
