Palin is in a very convenient position for the GOP right now, isn't she?

[Puzzler]

She has a very high media profile, but she doesn't hold any office. Therefore she is free to make/release ridiculous statements (such as the "Death Panel" one) that will be immediately be picked up and amplified my the MSM. Even if the story is blatantly false, the MSM will obediently report on the simple fact that they're reporting it! Moreover, they'll take the so-called balanced "you decide" approach... in the interests of fairness, of course ;)

Just watch, this is only the beginning.

4. I think she faces very long odds.

She quit her job. She's down in polling. She uses her DS baby as a theater prop. And she's a dolt.

Bleghhhhhh.

6. Long odds about what?

Getting back into politics? That's not my point. She doesn't have to be running for office right now... or ever again for that matter.

5. True, but she's a complete moron

So she'll never be able to make it work for her. Watch and see. She's an utter loon.

7. And she's all atwitter with tweets.
