Did Sarah Palin write this herself?
Or was it ghost written?
IF she wrote it, I suspect she may actually "get it".
And IF she does, what can/will she be able to do from outside of government to influence/shape American politics in the appropriate direction.
Personally, I'm of the belief the US will not recover until it can make some necessary economic reforms. And those necessary economic reforms are unlikely until we see effective political reform.
I'm still not a Palin fan......but I will be watching her commentary a bit closer.....and looking forward to an interview that might be able to verify that it's her pen in her hand writing that article.
Why do you assume that Gov. Palin may require a "ghost writer" to write an article that draws on her personal experience and common sense?

Isn't it a valid question?
I understand biased media can play a significant role in shaping public perceptions about political personalities.
Some examples include the "head hunting" hardballs that Katie Couric threw at Palin(as well as Palin's own distinct and obvious awkwardness working "off the cuff") ESPECIALLY compared to the softballs and complete failure to followup on Biden's mistakes during his VP campaign interview.
It was like a "Hospital Pass" for Palin on foreign policy(her publicly perceived and pushed weakness) and a total "Bro Pass" for Biden.
In some ways it reminded me of the UK interview with G W Bush campaigning in 2000 and having an interviewer quizzing him to name the leaders of several obscure, and 1 soon to no longer be obscure, nations.
I also understand that not everyone is good "off the cuff" with impromptu unprepared interviews and debate(current President included when the teleprompter is gone and the interview questions haven't been pre-determined and well prepared for), some people shine far better with time to absorb/rehash/and re-edit their thoughts onto paper.
In my opinion, if a followup interview with Palin indicates she knows her stuff I reckon it's a good thing.......my next question would be what does she intend to do about it?
Afterall, she's a non-elected political force multipler at the moment.
Even taking into account the media bias against Palin during the last election and taking into account different people have different intellectual strengths and styles, why is it NOT a fair question?
In my opinion, I think there's a bit of genuine and sincere buzz going on with this article......wouldn't it be foolish to NOT followup on it?
Surely a wee bit of optimism mixed with cynicism is warranted?
Isn't it a valid question?
Yes, as much as MR2's.
