This could be good for her, allowing her more exposure, letting America see her. I, however, have my doubts. It could be just enough rope to hang herself. If she's allowed to truely talk, not asked dumb questions, then maybe it might help. But you gotta give her a 'Hell ya' for trying.

Hmmmmmm

Interesting move, not sure how this will play out?

She is not a Carl Rove, and not a Mike Huckabee. She is a polarizing figure and will most likely draw a ton of fire from liberal talking heads. I'd like to know what the head shed @ Fox was thinking with this hire?

Uh, ratings, controversy, spike in additional viewers to see if there will be a melt down or if she will actually be an articulate commentator, just for the hell of it.

I fully agree, ratings will soar over this.

Also looks like Conan O'Brien is headed to FOX, if Fox and Friends have it right this morning.

Must be something in my DNA, but I just don't get Conan O'Brien.

A return to her 'roots'? Remember that Ms Palin's degree was in communications with an emphasis in journalism, and she was a 'talking head' - I mean a sportscaster - in Anchorage at one point in her career.

And so it goes...

If Mittens and the Huckster have anything to do with it - you'll be right. Add in the McLameiacs trying to blame her for Johns failures and the MSM's spin - its a wonder she's doing as well as she is.

If she's as bad as everyone says she is - the question becomes "Why is everyone working so hard to destroy her?"

Fear, my man, Fear. The left and RINOs fear her with a passion. That's why they want to destroy her. She upsets their applecart.

All of you predicting the failure of Sara Palin to higher elective office, just one question. Did you predict Obama's success at the highest office of our land?

She is attractive, bright, self confident, and not afraid to speak her mind. Along with her other attributes, Mrs. Palin represents an across the board threat to some people; the words covet and envy come to mind.

Will this get her elected to national office, unknown.

If ACORN, PBS, NBC, ABC and CBS can get zero elected, can Fox get Palin elected??

To paraphrase an article over at American Thinker:
"She shows conservatives one thing: there are more of us than there are of them."

Maybe Palin will leave the duties of office for others and assume the role on Fox to remind folks of what many want and what neither party offers.

A coach so to speak.

I would like to have seen Sarah Palin finish her term as Governor. Or, if she wanted to leave that office, the best reason would have been to run for the Senate. This would have given her more experience and credibility. At worst, we would have found out if she really has the intellect and political savvy needed for higher office...
