Palin at it again

The Associated Press reported that Sarah Palin is once again on the campaign trail. This time, instead of rallying in support of John McCain she will be rallying for Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss in Georgia. Chambliss received the most votes, but because he was not able to acquire over 50 percent of the vote he must now participate in a run off election. Palin was brought in to help stimulate conservative voters while the democratic opposition is targeting black voters.

Palin has been attending fundraisers and is set to speak at rallies. Although her presence is significant for Georgia, it is even more significant for Democrats across the nation, for a loss in Georgia would make it impossible for them to receive the 60 seats necessary to block Republican filibusters.

In times when gas prices have dropped dramatically and questions about Palin's trial concerning her ex brother-in-law are thriving, its astonishing that Palin isn't in Alaska, looking after the budget and her case.

A Changed Palin

For Palin, opportunities have been sprouting everywhere, ranging from multiple television interviews to the wrath of the GOP.

Sarah Palin has recently had interviews with Larry King and Wolfe Blitzer, as well as Matt Lauer and Greta Van Susteren. Although much of the same chat about Palin's wardrobe and other issues continued, the real spoltlight was on Palin's possible candidacy in 2012, to which she responded,"The future is not that 2012 presidential race; it's next year and our next budgets,"once again dodging the bullet.

Although Palin may have helped Alaskan Senate and House candidates through gaining them a stronger Republican base in Alaska, she still isn't being recognized by republicans and their future. In fact, on Thursday the RGA announced its new leadership lineup, which does not include Sarah PAlin.

On a side note, Palin may strike a $7million book deal. Some would say she's milking her failure for all its worth.

Palin Plans

With the election comming to a close, all the talk about whether Palin helped or hurt McCain is trickling away and being replaced by talk of the republicans' futures. Palin remains vague on her plans for the future, but didn't strike out 2012 as a possibility. Her immediate plans are to return to her duties in Alaska, which may turn out to be significant considering the senate race. Overall, "Palin Plans to Remain on GOP's National Stage"

On a separate note, Tina Fey plans to step down as Palin impersonator for SNL so she can work on her own show, 30 Rock.

Correction (addition)

My apologies for my accidental misrepresentation of Governor Sarah Palin. Much of the story was true but the context of her shirt were incorrect due to my speedy reading of the article. Future posts of the Sarah Palin blog will be double checked to reinforce accuracy and prevent similar incidents.
