Actually - her campaign stops last year were great successes. She has a fantastic common-person's appeal. It was the couple of poor interview performances that then gave the media fodder to attack her - despite the fact both Obama and Biden were plenty gaffe prone themselves during the campaign.
I do agree that she lacked understanding and experience in foreign policy issues - but so too did Obama, and we see his ineptitude running rampant with that fact right now.
The book will be HUGE - the book tour will be HUGE, and her influence within the Republican Party, whether some of the established good old boy Republicans want it or not, is going to be even more significant.
In essence, Palin is now bigger than the Republican Party - she is a national figure tapping into the collective distrust and frustration against an ever increasing and prohibitive government - of which great guilt is to be found within both political parties...
