Sarah Palin Goes Prep

Win or lose, Sarah Palin seems ready to stick around Washington as Reuters is now reporting and that it’s likely, regardless of discouragement seemingly being offered by the citizens of America, that she thinks she stands a chance.

“I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we’ve taken … I’m not doing this for naught,” Palin told ABC News in a taped interview airing on Thursday.

At the same time, she has also been quoted multiple times as saying, “”I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be revealed on that day.”  If they vote Obama into office, are the American people still wise?

At this point I think there is more to the Sarah Palin story.  It’s just not obvious yet what that story is.  Although, from what I can see today it would seem that she’s more likely to stay in the limelight for a bit and then it is quite likely that she will slip back into obscurity sometime in the future.  Just a feeling, but eventually the criticism that she’s been taking will take its toll.

Ranter

The Envelope is reporting that Sarah Palin convinced the RNC to cough up a over $150,000 to improve her look and accessorize her to run with Presidential Candidate John McCain.  Can you imagine what that would buy at Wal-Mart?  Apparently Sarah can’t either, because her expenses include over $75,000 at Neiman Marcus – home of the $40,000 book on Formula 1 Racing.  Of course, some of those expenses include clothing for her family while they are on the campaign trail, too, because those ordinary outfits just aren’t good enough.
