Sarah Palin's Campaign Kickoff (unconventionally, is what we think)
Sarah Palin: Gov. Palin released a new online ad that showcases tea party victories across the country. She invoked Reagan's famous "Morning in America" ad and vowed to continue shaking up the political scene.

If Sarah Palin played a loud, grinding instrument, she would be
in my band.
The independent patriotic spirit, attitude and soul of our
forefathers are alive and well in Sarah.
In the way she lives, what she says and how she dedicates
herself to make America better in these interesting times, she represents the good, while exposing the bad and ugly.
She embraces the critical duty of we the people by participating in this glorious
experiment in self-government.
The tsunami of support proves that Sarah, 46, represents what many Americans know to be common and sensible. Her rugged individualism, self-reliance and a herculean work ethic resonate now more than ever in a country spinning away from these basics that made the U.S.A. the last best place.
We who are driven to be assets to our families, communities and our beloved country connect with the principles that Sarah Palin embodies.
We know that bureaucrats and, even more, Fedzilla, are not the solution; they are the problem.
I'd be proud to share a moose-barbecue campfire with the Palin family anytime, so long as I can shoot the moose.
Palin signs on with Fox News
By Howard Kurtz
Sarah Palin, who regularly rips the media, is becoming a television pundit at a place where she's likely to feel at home.
A Fox News executive says the network will shortly announce that the former vice-presidential nominee is signing on as a contributor.
Palin, who resigned as governor of Alaska last summer, will appear as a commentator on various Fox shows. She will also host an occasional program that will examine inspirational tales involving ordinary Americans.
Palin will join Mike Huckabee as a Fox contributor who was also involved in the 2008 campaign. The exposure can only help Palin if she decides to pursue a 2012 presidential bid.
At the moment, Palin makes pronouncements mainly through her Facebook page. The Fox connection would give her a platform on the nation's top-rated cable news channel.
Palin is extremely popular with her conservative base, which has fueled the sales of her best-selling memoir. But she is a divisive political figure who not only draws the ire of liberals but some Republicans, including staffers who deal with her during her run as John McCain's running mate. Steve Schmidt, a top McCain strategist, said on "60 Minutes" last night that "there were numerous instances that she said things that were -- that were not accurate that ultimately, the campaign had to deal with."
Hiring Palin could further boost the popularity of Rupert Murdoch's network among conservative viewers. The network already employs former Bush White House aide Karl Rove and former House speaker Newt Gingrich as highly visible commentators.
