We are un-embarrassed fans of the straight talk of Sarah Palin. She has an ability to express our anger in a clear and succinct manner. She is a great communicator much like Reagan.
There will be some of you who might disagree with that characterization and point out the disaster of 2008. We would agree that she was not ready for prime time when McCain picked her from obscurity. However, as governor she had a very high approval rate, had cleaned up Alaskan Republican mess that she inherited and had her state fiscally sound. Not a bad record for a "housewife from Wasilla."
However, the tumult of a national campaign was something that she was not ready to handle. Neither was she prepared for the "gotcha" politics of the news media. And lastly, the McCain campaign did not prepare her properly when meeting with the media and her gaffes definitely hurt the effort.
With all the negatives that the news media could pile on her, the Obama campaign kept running against her and her "inexperience." They could not attack McCain for that lack of Washington experience, so they attacked her. Yet, Obama had only a couple years of time in the Capital. The Republicans never responded to the Obama attacks on experience. Why? Poor campaign management and a poor party choice for President.
Other media darlings of the minute soon fade from view very quickly. Sarah has remained in the forefront of Republican politics and we believe that she will be there as a force to be reckoned with for many years. Why? It is that straight forward, "tell it like it is" way of speaking that enamors many, including yours truly, with her.
We are glad she has a new contract with Fox and wish her the best.

Sarah Palin Returning to Fox News
Thursday, 13 Jun 2013 04:38 PM
The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate will make her first appearance on June 17 on the morning program "Fox & Friends," according to a press release issued by Fox News. She will appear as a contributor on various Fox News programs and on Fox Business Channel, offering her opinion on news and politics.
Palin previously served as a Fox News contributor, but left in January after being with the network for three years, a Newsmax story reported.
Fox News CEO Roger Ailes said he had several conversations with Palin over the past several weeks about having her return.
"I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming," Ailes said. "I hope she continues to speak her mind."
Details of the deal were not announced. Palin was reportedly making $1 million a year during her first stint. Howard Kurtz reported in The Daily Beast in January that she had been offered a fraction of that to stay because Ailes felt her star had faded.
Palin noted in an August Facebook post that Fox had canceled all her scheduled appearances, but with the new contract all seems to be forgiven.
"The power of Fox News is unparalleled," Palin said in the press release from Fox. "The role of Fox News in the important debates in our world is indispensable."
