The Future of Sarah Palin
With news of her resigning from office as governor, many question Sarah Palin's political future.
I recently read my colleague Tamika's post on Sarah Palin. The former Republican vice presidential nominee recently announced her resignation as governor of Alaska at the end of this month. The question since is whether or not Palin has killed her career. In my opinion the answer is crystal clear.
Absolutely not.
Why? People love Sarah Palin. If you think back to the political campaign of 2008, scores of people lined up to hear Sarah Palin and John McCain speak.
This firebrand woman had an electrifying presence on the national scene and won the support of tons of women.
Even with the unfortunate gaffs and Tina Fey impressions, she can still raise millions of dollars and has star power in parts of the electorate that will support her no matter what.
She has the moxie, confidence and enthusiasm that's sure to electrify crowds once again.
Only a select few know Sarah Palin's true motives and intentions for the future. One thing that is for certain is that no matter what she chooses, it will be of her own deciding and timing.
It's what mavericks do.
