More on Sarah Palin by Popular Demand

As we reported Monday, Sarah Palin has received more than 950 requests for speeches and over 120 invitations from political candidates to campaign for them. Some blogger reaction:

Pittsburgh Conservative Examiner Josh Geldrich:
"There is definitely a future out there for Sarah Palin and it looks to be promising."
Clifton B at Another Black Conservative:
"As much as the left would love to have us believe that Sarah Palin is irrelevant, especially after stepping down early, the proof says otherwise."
Daily Mail blogger Don Surber:
"Reports of the political death of Republican Sarah Palin are greatly exaggerated."
What's Hot Online:
"Sarah Palin’s status as a superstar is undeniable. She is incredibly popular nationwide."
At Est Quod Est, Pauli can be pardoned for a little wistful projection:
"I see the beginning of a nice war chest for Sarah, plus she can go out and buy some really nice guns with that kind of cash flow."
One Vike at NorCal Blogs:
"Now it will probably never occur to Howard Dean and his willing accomplishes in the MSM that Sarah Palin has again trumped their attempts to smear and ridicule her."
Watchdog Politics Examiner Martha Gore:
"She must be driving the Palin-haters crazy."
Moe Lane at RedState.com:
"If you’re the type to comfort yourself with the thought that maybe the majority of those requests for former Governor Palin’s presence are from state candidates, well: the state legislatures are where we train folks for the House and Senate. And while she’ll be a great fundraising draw for House and Senate candidates, she’ll be an insanely good one for state races."
If the political equivalent of living well is great demand for your help in campaigning for public office, then Sarah Palin is surely enjoying the sweetest revenge against her most severe critics on both the left and right. And, yes, that means she's right on target.

In Demand: Former Governor Sarah Palin

Politico's Mike Allen is reporting that since resigning as governor July 26, Sarah Palin has received over 1,070 requests to deliver paid speeches and make political appearances:
More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state legislature, aides said.

Palin will be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children, and military families.
Allen says the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau after getting offers from 20 similar agencies to represent her. The Politico pundit also has a progress report on the former governor's work on writing her memoir:
She’s about 85 percent finished with her book, due out this spring from HarperCollins. Then she’ll begin looking through the inch-and-a-half-thick file her lawyer, Robert Barnett, has built of offers for network and cable pundit gigs, documentaries and business opportunities.
Meanwhile, the moonbat mantra from the liberals is that Sarah Palin is "irrelevant." They should tell that to the people who are making six-figure offers for a few hours of former Governor Palin's time.
