So, as you may know, Sarah Palin (the nice lady who ran with John McCain for President, once upon a time) is resigning from her office as Governor of Alaska this month. Why? Because she wants to "pursue other goals." Well, today I read that she will continue her career in politics, just not as governor. Lots of people think that she's going to run for president in 2012.. Who knows. But given her recent trends, I wouldn't count her out just yet. She's reportedly going to be making quite a pretty penny on a lecturing tour across the country. I'm sure she won't be making too many stops at any HBCUs or any predominately black establishments that don't cough up money to hear her. (Why would they?)
Also, I've head through the ripe grapevine that she will be continuing her career by contributing in any way possible to other campaigns, both GOP and Democrat. Sound crazy? Not really. Let me explain. By doing this, she gains the support of both her own struggling party and the support of the Democrats. Sooo, if she does run for president, she'll have lots of powerful and wealthy people backing her. And given her (by that time) credentials, she'll look much more mature than the pretty lady we saw John McCain introduce to the world last year. I'm not saying she'll be a top contender (especially if Condolezza gets off her lazy behind and runs, or if the people still love Obama by that time) but she'll at least be taken more seriously.
So, for the record, I'm happy for her and wish her all the luck. (wow, did I say that out loud?)
