The Republicans are going to have to choose between a real candidate and Reality TV bafoons.
From a politically neutral angle, she is a savvy business woman.
Let's have a bird dog investigative reporter track Al Gore's profits from his (real or fabricated) global warming pitch and his ownership in companies that directly profit from the results. I bet it makes Palin look like a pauper in comparison.
You're probably right.
