Pandering for Palin: SarahPAC Makes First Sales Pitch



My late father, a curmudgeonly Montana cowboy, used to say about snow: "It's always muddied and dirty around your house; out there on the horizon, it's pure and white."

So it would seem for Sarah Palin's presidential ambitions.

While personal and political controversies are muddying up her political agenda in Alaska, the distant horizon of national politics looms ever so pristine--and inviting. Just this week, the Alaska legislature essentially nixed Palin's 2009 legislative priorities, but her national political action committee, SarahPAC, made its first national email pitch yesterday, touting Palin's accomplishments in the Last Frontier.

And it came with a surprise announcement: "Governor Palin will soon be traveling the country and working to support leaders who share (Palin's) vision."

That might come as news to Alaskan voters, who expect Palin to be focusing on statewide issues as she prepares to run for re-election as governor next year.

But as anyone who's watched Palin's uninspired performances in Alaska recently will tell you, the campaign trail was far more exciting for Palin than dealing with cantankerous legislators and the Last Frontier's political gadflies. And after last year's Cinderella moment, no one expected Palin to stay down on the farm for long. ........(more)
