Politico
by Maggie Haberman
March 15, 2013

In January 2009, Sarah Palin had the world on a string. A potential Republican presidential field-clearer for the presidency, every sentence she uttered was news. A Fox News contract awaited her. So did book deals.

Four years later, Palin is without a clear option for elected office — or a clear sense she has an interest in any position of real public influence. She never took an active, leadership role in the tea party movement, beyond showing up at a scattered handful of events and talking it up on television. For many Americans, her name is now primarily a punchline and if she is envisioning a comeback, it may simply be too late.

Her time has passed and she knows it.

The Politico and the Left still hate and fear her--if she is so irrelivant why even write about her--not buying it

Maybe she is resting, studying, thinking. Before winning in 1968 and in 1980, Nixon and Reagan were out of office, wrote books, got sharp for the big run.

If she stays low key, it doesn't mean she's finished politically.

Compare the number of candidates that she supports and wins with that of Karl Rove yet which of those two are called the architect and which is called a hayseed bumpkin? A lot of the winning candidates she backs are dark horse underdogs.



Do you think Roves boy Dewhurst would be shoving his boot up DI FI's ass if he were Senator right now?

I didn't say that she did not have influence for others, Frank.

But she has removed herself from the running. She's in the political Mecca of Wasilla, Alaska taking care of her family as she said she was going to do. She gracefully declined to run for the office of the presidency. I haven't seen where she is inclined to run for any other office, either.

I believe there is one reason why. Her family.

That is a straight up lie. She is powerful enough to get people like Cruz and Nikki Haley massive support in campaigns that are way behind the establishment candidate. That alone makes her more powerful than 90% of the clowns on our side that people think are useful. When this broad shows up at State Fairs and local parades, she packs the joint. Romney couldn't even do that till near the end of his campaign. Polutico doesn't, or intentionally is spinning against the fact that she is doing more for the party from Wasilla than all the $150 million dollar a campaign DC consultants could dream of doing.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want this woman as President, but she sure is doing a bang up job highlighting fantastic, solid new people for elected office. My only beef with her is boosting McLame for reelection. I would like to see him get hit by a bus full of drunk illegals.
