Oh Quit the Prospecting, SHE WON'T RUN IN 2012!

     Sarah Palin is a truly unique American politician.  She has the canny ability to draw large crowds and influence with her individual brand of American politics.  Like many strong women before her, she will go down in history as one of the most fascinating political figures in American history.
     From her splash off the diving board into the 2008 presidential race to her runaway best-seller, Sarah Palin is one politician who is hard to predict.  Some think she'll run for president in 2012 or 2016, some think she will run for Congress from Alaska.  Personally, I think Gov. Palin won't hold another political office for a very long time.  She knows that the poorly-run McCain campaign of 2008 really set her off on the wrong foot with the American people and that it will take a lot of remolding and reshaping for her to successfully get back into the political spotlight.
     To be specific as to what I think her plans for the future are, I will make the following predictions.  First, I think she will stay with Fox News as a political contributor.  It is a relatively low-stress job that she can earn a good amount of money with as well as still keep her name current in the political landscape.  Secondly, I think she will write one, maybe two more books.  So far from Going Rogue, Palin has made close to $8 million dollars.  She won't pass the chance to make that much money up.  Thirdly, I believe she will expand her PAC and put more money behind candidates whom she believes have the right stuff.  She has proven that she has great fundraising potential and this will keep her politically connected so she can mount a run for Senate from Alaska or a presidential run.
     Whatever Sarah Palin does, it's first and foremost her choice.  She is not one to be told what to do and she will chart her own course.  She will do what is best for her and her family.  However, she will remain one of the most interesting political figures in the United States for many years to come and one who will always keep us wondering "what will she do next".

The Future of Mrs. Sarah Palin

Readers,

     As we all know by now, Sarah Palin has signed on with Fox News as their newest political contributor.  This seems appropriate because she has a degree in journalism.  By signing with Fox News, Sarah Palin has sent a new message to the political world that she will not be running for president in 2012.
     Some may ask why she is doing this.  To me the answer is simple.  She can earn so much money by writing books and going on news channels!  Also, if she were to run for president in 2012 the media would throw the poor woman under the bus.  The disasterous McCain campaign of 2008 damaged her credibility with the mainstream media.  It will take at least two or more presidential election cycles for everyone to forget about the damage the media did to Gov. Palin.  Sarah Palin's best bets for a nice presidential run are either 2016, 2020, or 2024; when the media has calmed down and a new generation is in politics.

Time's A-Wasting, President Obama!

Readers,

     President Obama's indeciveness in Afghanistan is crippling our troops and endangering this nation.  No matter what the left at MSNBC says, this is true and is happening as we breath right now.  President Obama needs to make a decision in Afghanistan, NOW!  Troop morale is at an all-time low and the president's poll numbers are showing that the war in Afghanistan is weighing heavily on the voters' approval of him.  Rasmussen Reports has his "strongly approve" numbers at 26%, with overall approval at 47%.  This is AWFUL for a new president that just got into office earlier this year considering the wave of enthusiasm he rode into office on.  If President Obama wants to turn the tides around to stop the slide (I know, bad pun) he needs to make up his mind, or else he and his friends will pay the price in 2010 and 2012.
