I can't say I feel sorry for Palin. I don't see her as an "innocent" in this. She isn't stupid, exactly, but if she had any real political sense, she would have known she wasn't ready for the national scene. She hasn't studied. Her kids don't appear to respect education. She will become an "oddity" on the political scene. Perhaps she will get enough support from the evangelical, hard right RW base to make a little noise, but it won't be much, and she won't have any real political power in the future. Her approval rating in AK has gone down in the last month, and when she can't give away enough money to her fellow rugged individualist Alaskans, and when they see that the Permanent Fund has dropped precipitously, she may well not even be reelected governor in 2010.

All just the opinion of someone in the Lower 48 who has never been to AK, and most of what I "know" has been learned in the past 2 months or so. I'll be happy to be corrected by Snowshoe if he wants to weigh in.
