I am a big fan of Sarah Palin. It’s amazing how a person who has a professional career is still a full scale parent. I like the idea that she stands up for what she believes. I appreciate the fact that she gave up her Governor seat to be more involved in the process and involved on her own terms. (Palin redefined the word “Quitting.” Does it look to you that she “quit” politics?) For all of these things she deserves great credit for doing and achieving.
However, in recent months, Palin created a pattern of rushing into the headlines in a way of, “Hey. Look at me. I am also here.” She upstaged Republican candidates and events more than one time; last of them the Ames Fair on the day of the Poll. She couldn’t have come mid-week? These moves are with the apparent goal of getting into the spot light when it appears to shine on others.
More and more Palin comes across as self-centered and petty on the expense of others. She needs to scale it back. She wants to be involved in the process? She wants to be a king maker? Great! She took a lot of bullets for Conservatives and Republicans and is still standing. Therefore she indeed deserves a say at the table. However, she should try doing all that without being in the center every time something big takes place on the Republican front.
