Sarah Palin Smart to Bow Out of CPAC Appearance
By Robert Schlesinger, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
Could Sarah Palin be taking my advice?
(Sure, genius; she's the one that keeps interrupting your calls from President Obama.)
I've written before that if Palin has any sense, she'll eschew the national spotlight for a year or two, focus on being governor, and learn the issues.
My colleague Paul Bedard reported this week that despite initial indications to the contrary, Palin will not be appearing at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference here in the D.C. area at the end of this month. Conservative leaders are bummed, but I think it's a smart move for Palin. She'll do better being popular and elusive, for the moment, than by overexposing herself.
Of course, slipping poll numbers in Alaska might also have prompted her to focus on state business.

Sarah Will Be Missed at CPAC
She definitely will be missed, but it was a smart move to not attend this year. Interestingly, Obamabots griped when they heard she was coming to CPAC, and now they are griping and speculating incorrectly as to why she is not attending this year. She was invited last year as well and did not attend. She is attending to state business, her priority. No matter what Sarah does, the Obots will find some fault.
Martha Unalaska? No, Martha JUNEAU
Martha, I'll bet a thousand bucks you don't live on Unalaska. You write like a typical tax-eating government slug from Juneau. We should cut you all loose and hand the Panhandle over to Canada, where your type would be much happier.
I've got people on Unalaska and they all love Gov. Palin.
Smart indeed; oh, and ..
Let us not forget the nastiness of Hollywood toward Sarah, in particular MATT DAMON. I understand he has a new "Bourne" movie coming out soon. Please, skip it! If you still want to see it, then wait till it comes out on video and just rent it; much less money in their pockets could lead to less in Damon's pockets on the next movie contract.
