The irresistible allure of Sarah Palin
I view this as near proof positive that Sarah Palin has a real, concrete, chance at being President some day. 2012 if Obama messes up too badly, and 2018 otherwise. I just can’t conceive of any other reason for her … Continue reading
Sarah Palin in the Eye of the Beholder
With news that Governor Palin started her own political action committee at SarahPAC, she has entered the punditry discussion again, and yet again provokes strong responses, though as Josh Painter shows, little consensus. Many of the descriptions have to be … Continue reading

Sarah Palin in 2012
Rasmussen reports today that Sarah Palin is the choice of 64% of Republicans for the 2012 Republican nomination, and that a staggering 91% of Republicans have a favorable impression of her (equally remarkable, 65% rate their view as ‘highly favorable’). … Continue reading

Mark Penn on the Press & Palin
Boy, this was an awfully interesting exchange. Democratic strategist Mark Penn, absurdly invited by Brian Goldsmith to argue the press has been soft on Sarah Palin, instead slams the media for counterproductively biased and vindictive coverage:
