W hile most of us have moved on from the election, the mavericky one from The North doesn't seem to be able to relinquish the spotlight. As she heads off for a new round of campaigning in Georgia, it's an open question whether the media is addicted to her, or vice versa. Either way, she's at a crossroads.
What should Palin do now?
Save herself. 'Tis the season to hole up in the gubernatorial snow cave, study the painfully awkward tapes, bring in the tutors, and prepare to reboot in 2012. A more adept and informed version of herself could be a formidable player, once the memory of her Veep try-out fades.
Savin' the party. Fillin' that big vacuum there now, and not leavin' it to Newt, who already revolutioned and some might say also maybe whiffed. But, too, havin' to be get back to ya with all of those good details!
Save the wise guys. For Big Comedy, the end of the Dubya Era is a category 12 disaster. Until president-elect No-drama stumbles, nailin' Palin is all we got. Keep talking, Governor.
