Palin Salience?

Sarah Palin is back in the headlines...

Do you think Caroline Kennedy is getting treated differently than Palin did?

Do you think it's a good idea for Palin to be commenting in this manner?  Is it helping her revamp her political image?  Setting her up as the GOP's future leader?  Hurting her - would she be better off staying out of the limelight or focusing on issues?

Does she have a future or are her 15 minutes up?

I think she should stop, just for a little while.
Maybe if she just lays low for a period of time, people will forget the...interesting things she has said.

Kennedy is being treated differently than Palin. But, to be honest, they are in two completely different campaigns. Palin was a random pick for v.p. that caused a lot of buzz. Kennedy, from what I've read, isn't ready to be Senator. But I really don't have a say in that.

As far as commenting on stuff like the Couric interview and the SNL skits, Palin is hurting rather than helping her image. She had a rough time with public speaking on the campaign trail. I think she should just go away for a bit and maybe she'll have a career in the future.

I think it would be better if she just layed low for a while. But for the most part I think her 15 minutes of fame are over. She'll probibly just be in the political background for a while until everyone stops caring.

i dont believe just based on these articles about Caroline Kennedy, that Palin and her were treated the same. Palin would have been ripped an torn to shreds by articles such as these while they seem to have almost a sense of remorse for Kennedy. Now while i see how the VP candidate and Senate Candidate would differ i do believe there is a sense of bias in the media, especially to a "KENNEDY". I do believe Palin has a right to repsond in the manner she has, and i dont believe it will hurt her in her future endeavors. I dont know what exactly her future holds in the GOP, and im hoping its a positive one because i really believe that Palin whether a VP or P could do some good in the White house.

Sorry Allie, I don't mean to offend.  :)  Someone may want to vote for her someday, just not me....ever.
