I bet she is counting on revenue from the natural gas pipeline that she touts as her achievement...even as it may be under investigation for the manner in which her administration structured the RFP for the project to favor a political friend and contributor by freezing out competitors.

Yep...thats pretty simple minded.
Even a child can save when the parents throw a windfall amount of money at him....more than he knows what to do with.

IMO...here is one reason why Palin has no long term viability as a national candidate.
Colin Powell says it well:
"Gov. Palin, to some extent, pushed the party more to the right, and I think she had something of a polarizing effect when she talked about how small town values are good. Well, most of us don’t live in small towns. And I was raised in the South Bronx, and there’s nothing wrong with my value system from the South Bronx.
And when they came to Virginia and said the southern part of Virginia is good and the northern part of Virginia is bad. The only problem with that is there are more votes in the northern part of Virginia than there are in the southern part of Virginia, so that doesn’t work.
It was that attempt by the republican party to use polarization for political advantage and it backfired..... "
Palin is a polarizing figure in addition to being viewed as a lightweight because of the many stupid things she says... and as long as she continues to kowtow to the social conservative base or offer more of her pearls of wisdom, that wont change.
They cant win with her and they cant get rid of her...that is the dilemma faced by the Republican party. It will be fun to watch it play out.
