Sarah Palin has changed her facebook designation from Republican to Conservative, and her fans are all a-twitter.
One long-time blogger and Palin supporter wrote: ‘I suppose one could draw a multitude of conclusions regarding this status change.
‘I know that I certainly have. You can be certain that any move Sarah Palin makes has been well thought out and is with purpose.
I was going to make a snarky comment about that last sentence, given that so much of what Palin says is, if thought out at all, most poorly thought out. But what she does? I must concede that she appears to put a lot of thought into her moves. Not all have succeeded, but by and large she’s cashed in handsomely on her notoriety, and if we want to glean the meaning of this act, we must look and see where the money might be in this change of political hats.
I would like to think, to echo Jesse Jackson, that this helps us “keep hope alive”. My hopes, though I think they’re likely to be dashed, is that this is Sarah subtly signaling a third party run. There would be lots of cash in that. But I’m dubious. My guess is that she’s positioning herself to become the spokesmodel for all those folks out there who are fed up with today’s liberal Republican party, and are looking for pure fascism conservatism. You just can’t please some people, but maybe Sarah’s going to try. Unfortunately for Sarah I think she’s past her sell-by date, though she’s still great fun for those of us on this side of the divide.
