From a New York Times profile piece on Sarah Palin, here are a few excerpts:
Without leaving home, Sarah Palin will be able to reach much of her political base, courtesy of a soon-to-be-built television studio in her living room paid for by her newest media patron, Fox News. From her house in Wasilla, Alaska, Ms. Palin also sends missives to 1.3 million Facebook “fans,” writes newspaper columns, Tweets and signs copies of her book for donors.Judging by the standard of how the Times has treated Gov. Palin in the past, this article is positvely glowing. Read it in its entirety here.
She reads daily e-mail briefings on domestic and foreign policy from a small group of advisers who remained loyal after her tumultuous vice presidential campaign in 2008. And though she has fashioned an image as an antiestablishment conservative, she also speaks regularly to a bipartisan nobility of Washington insiders who have helped enrich her financially and position her on the national political stage.
Ms. Palin is becoming increasingly vocal and visible...
[...]
...quietly assembling the infrastructure of an expanding political operation. In addition to her longtime spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, Ms. Palin’s closest aides include members of her former running mate’s staff.

The media can worry all they want about Sarah's plans. What exactly can they do to derail them? She has the most dominate name in news on her side, she has dominated the social media of twitter and face book. She is raising decent cash to fund her PAC, and she is using that money to give to candidates in important presidential battle ground states. Karma is a funny thing. The NYT and liberals in general wouldn't have to be worrying about what Sarah's plans are if they would have just left her alone when she returned to Alaska after the election. All of what is going on right now is due to the fact that they filed all those frivolous ethic violation complaints and forced her to resign as governor. If they would have just left her alone. Sarah would still be governor of Alaska and the chances of a presidential run would have been much more remote.
