The Return Of The Moose

Over at PoliticusUSA, Leah Burton believes that Sarah Palin's "brokered convention" speech at CPAC indicates she's going to be upsetting an infinite number of apple carts very soon.

I will give it to her, she did a stellar job. Her speech contained the appropriate colloquialisms that she is so known for and she did not disappoint us with her propensity for leaving the ‘g’ off of “ing” words. As much as I disagree with Palin, I am not going to diss the fact that she has an ability to raise the enthusiasm and emotion of a dedicated voting bloc that we would be remiss in ignoring. No other speaker at this convention whipped up the crowd like Sarah and she is well aware of that.


Today was Sarah’s birthday, and the adoration and chants of “Sarah! Sarah!” could not compete with any other gift that she received today.
I have said this for three years, do not count her out. Many have chastised me for taking this position, but today we saw the beginning of her “cat and mouse” game with conservative voters that can make or break the election of a nominee out of the four candidates in the running. She is well aware of this and lapping it up!

Out of the numerous dog whistles in her speech, none resonated more with my “Palin-is-going-to-run radar” than “the door is open”.

I agree completely with everything Leah says here other than the part where Palin actually throws her hat into the ring.  She doesn't have to.  But boy, people are certainly going to give her a lot of money anyway thinking that she will.

Look, this is classic Sarah Palin grifting. She's going to get a lot of attention, she's going to get on TV a lot this week, she's going to get donations to run, she's going to keep the money and she's going to have a good, long laugh about it.

The last thing Sarah Palin will ever do is run for President.  She has a good two decades plus or more of Wingnut welfare to earn from people gullible enough to think she'll run for the White House.  All she has to do to stay relevant is show up at events like this once in a while and she'll rake in millions.  That's all that she cares about.  And it's a brilliant plan.
