What is more interesting that her personal brand of dumbed-down politics seems to echo so well with a small percentage of people - Sarah Palin supporters are rabidly pro-Palin, whereas everyone else, from both sides of the aisle, think she's a joke. She's got charisma - that's for sure. And she's gonna keep getting offers for speeches, because that's the niche she's carved out - she'll never actually be relevant again, but she's a great talking head. When it comes down to it, she'll never actually matter, because politics is infinitely more complicated than her rhetoric, and a majority of people see that.
You want dumbed-down politics from a vapid talking head, look no further than Hopey Changey.
Maybe there is a political future for Palin after all.  Everytime I see "hopey changey", doesn't matter the context, I laugh. hahaha!!!!  |

the article does not mention if she has agreed. Can I get a newspaper to write an article on me anytime I plan a trip to Asia? Who gives a fuck? I hope she enjoys the Great Wall of China. |

Palin does not appear to be going away any time soon.
As for Obama... You really think Obama is going anywhere? He's a lot bigger than Palin, and relevant - which she is not. When his term is done, he'll be a much more in demand speaker than Palin. Will they be supplying teleprompters for the boi-genius? |

It will be interesting to see what she does over the course of the next six to twelve months as we head into the 2010 midterm elections. Her PAC raised nearly a million dollars in six months and she has many requests from conservative candidates to stump for them.
She is a fascinating figure in American politics... To who? Right wing idiots?

Rep Power: 370 | | Hey, I'd go see her. I don't like her as a leader, but she's entertaining as hell.
I wouldn't pay for it though. Guess that defeats the purpose of her getting filthy rich, doesn't it?
Oh well, more power to her whatever she does as long as she's not in a position where she has to read a map.  |

It would interfere with her reading all of her newspapers. |

the article does not mention if she has agreed. "The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday."
From another article: Quote: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's first major speaking engagement after leaving office won't be in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.
Instead, she's apparently headed to Hong Kong.
According to the Hong Kong-based brokerage firm CLSA, Palin will be the keynote speaker at their 16th annual investor's conference in September. The conference of financial heavy-hitters brings together hundreds of CEOs, CIOs and fund managers from around the world. In agreeing to speak, Palin's joining some esteemed company: past speakers at the conference have included Bill Clinton, Alan Greenspan, Al Gore and Desmond Tutu. CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Palin to Hong Kong « - Blogs from CNN.com
She agreed.

Yes indeed... Link to Palin/Obama polling numbers, s'il vous plais. Zogby: Obama Approval Plummets to 42 Percent Romney's Image Improves; Palin Well Regarded by Republican Base: Overview - Pew Research Center for the People & the Press The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted June 10-14 among 1,502 adults reached on landlines and cell phones, finds that impressions of Sarah Palin have not changed much since the presidential campaign. Palin continues to be a divisive figure among the general public, with about as many saying they have an unfavorable impression (44%) as a favorable view (45%) of the Alaska governor.
