Palin: Not Running but Not Stupid

Sarah Palin has made it official: She is NOT running for President in 2012.  She also doesn't want to be considered for Vice President... again.  She feels she would be more effective in an advocacy role - assisting Republicans with fundraising and getting out the vote.  Which makes sense, since that is where the money is.

The best part about watching Sarah Palin isn't the inevitable gaffes she will make while speaking, rather the masterful way she manipulates her devotees and the INSANE amount of money she makes while doing it.  Say what you will about her intellect, but Sarah Palin is NOT stupid.  

LZ Granderson at CNN wrote a blurb about his take on Palin's decision and came to roughly the same conclusion I did.  Since he writes better than I do, I'd recommend reading his column.

Sarah Palin proves she's no fool
