Sarah Palin's PAC

She's a player; she needs to do this.

I don't think we got a real handle on Palin's politics -- only some of it , not nearly all -- during he campaign. Most importantly, she was a deputy in service of John McCain, so many of her actual stances were burred or suppressed entirely to remain on message. In addition, her sudden, shock elevation to the national stage didn't give her a lot of time to announce her political thinking, or to develop it where she hadn't thought about it too much at all.

This PAC -- and hopefully a more prominent role as spokesperson for the Republican wing of the Republican Party -- will do a lot to put some flesh on the bones of what, I hope, will coalesce into an actual "Palinite" program. Which candidates will she actively support? What heterodoxies are deal-breakers? Hopefully we'll soon be finding out.

I do hope that she was just making nice-nice with McCain on border (in)security and amnesty.

Oh: Despite previous questions, it's real, not a prank.
