Interesting, if not entirely new, take from Jonathan Weiler below.
Is the revisionist history now going to be that she pulled one over on the nation - was she using the constituents and using politics? Or will she soon realize she can't win a national election and she wields more power and enjoys more freedom in her current role?
From Weiler:
"We've spent a lot of time and energy focusing on her influence as a political king and queen-maker, which seems obviously related to her desire to further her own political ambitions. But what if Sarah Palin is interested only in further promoting her brand for the purposes of doing that which everyone involved in brand promotion wants to do -- make more money? What if Sarah Palin is using politics largely as a means of amassing a personal fortune? And what if her means of achieving superstardom -- the theater of politics -- is being confused with an interest in actually achieving high elected office and, indeed, politics per se?"
