A Tell-All With Nothing to Tell

"A former member of SarahPalin's inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Mrs. Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around." [AP]
"In paragraph 13, we finally get to a specific claim: that in 2006, Palin's campaign for governor "coordinated with the Republican Governors Association, or RGA, in violation of campaign rules." The purported violation apparently consisted of Palin being filmed entering an Anchorage hotel. Whatever. This is what the AP calls "scathing?" Surely Mr. Bailey's "tell-all" has hotter stuff than that.

All of which is a reminder that Palin has largely dropped out of presidential speculation lately. At some point, pundits seemed to reach a consensus that she is staying out of the race, and most analyses now count her out. But she remains a powerful force in the conservative movement and the Republican Party."
