I see Moore has this on Palin's future: It’s been an extraordinary year. Alaska politics: you gotta love it. Nothing has ever approached it before, nor will it ever again. Oh wait… Sarah’s planning a presidential run in 2012. Puh-leeze. I'm wondering what your take is (mine agrees with Moore, as I've written on the thread a couple of times before). However, to give her her due--she does have a very nice smile (unhappily all too "important" on the electoral scene--personally, I'm more partial to ironic scowls, but that is clearly a minority view) and an ability to work a friendly crowd. But can she learn enough and be disciplined enough to work a larger, less homogeneous red-meat crowd into a similar enthusiasm? I haven't seen any evidence of it, but then--to be fair to her--that hasn't been her role in this election. Will her approval ratings in AK hold up if she can't give y'all the same fat check that she gave them this past year and the AK Permanent Fund is quite a bit lower? Waddya think?
