Good article. It was discussed on the Rachel Maddow show yesterday.

Had she not strayed so far right she might have done better

The best part of the article on page 4

"....She challenged supposedly inviolable political precepts, and embraced more-nuanced realities: Republicans sometimes must confront powerful business interests; to govern effectively, you have to cooperate with the other side; you sometimes must raise taxes to balance a budget; and doing these things can actually enhance rather than destroy your career, whatever anybody says. True reform—not pandering to the base—established Palin’s broad popularity in Alaska. This approach is sorely absent from most of what happens in Washington these days. "

Boehners refusal to raise taxes on the rich and not going after the oil companies is going to lead to his downfall.

Sarah's political funeral occurred in 2008. It was broadcast nationally in prime time and officiated over by Katie Couric. She's the political equivalent of Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding hat.
