re: #501 Flavia

She also knows that running for election again would put actual scrutiny back on them & even she is smart enough to know she needs to avoid that.

Right. It’s a lot easier to go to events like CPAC, VVS, or appear on Fox where she’s going to be treated like political royalty and have nothing she says or does questioned. I really do mean it when I say I have more respect for loons like Bachmann who actually do put themselves up for election. I mean that’s the old damning with faint praise but I mean it. Palin’s someone who ever since she quit being Alaska’s governor has sought tons of influence but no responsibility.
