62. Are you serious?
Her "populist" views have netted her $12,000,000 in pin money since she abandoned her governorship in Alaska according to MSNBC. A lot of it was obtained by less than ethical means. That is not chump change and she isn't spreading any of it around. She is simply doing what she does for the money. Do we really need any more of that? She not a populist. They care about people with low net worths and they generally are not stumping around latching on to any group or cause who will pay them then walking out the first time they have a problem. She has no ideas of her own. Her promises are worthless and her commitments dissolve if the wind changes.

As to her image, she is just plain irritating. She has a scratchy voice, she is an airhead and slams people who are educated. She is no more a woman of the people than Michelle Bachmann, another conservative harridan who is half crazy. In a recent poll it said that only 3% of America's women like or approve of Palin, and that is who she is supposed to appeal to. Even domestically she is a flop. A cat is a better mother and her kids are paying a big price for her carelessness and hypocrisy.

Everyone sees different things in people, but I cannot see what is admirable or desirable about this woman. To quote Keith Olbermann, "The woman is an idiot." I don't want any part of her.
