Is Palin's new show her campaign bio-pic? Check out INTRADE...
http://www.intrade.com/

Hardball just covered this - how the show highlights a softer side of her.

Actually, I have to admit that using a paying reality show as a campaign bio-pic isn't such a bad idea.

Let the games begin...

2. He's not around this week - Michael Smerconish is covering...
...and being very fair imo - they also covered Lisa Murkowski's comments about Palin not being presidential material.

Smerc also covered the Republican freshman who was upset that his healthcare didn't kick in immediately.

3. I like Smerc a lot. I think he makes a lot of sense. He's more moderate now
than he used to be.

5. Yeah, he was pretty disillusioned by the Republicans before he turned indie. nt

6. I guess that could get a few votes! lol - The show is definitely an opportunity...
...to show something other than her nastiness and horrible politics - it'll work for a certain kind of voter.

8. Well, if you're even thinking of a run it's a good gig to get a show that can double...
...as a campaign bio-pic. Candidates usually have to pay big money for that - I remember Clinton hiring Hollywood people for his.

10. I agree...
any politician would LOVE to get PAID for an 8-week bio-pic. But it won't make her more electable. Her problem is being unintelligent, incurious, and just plain STUPID. Her show won't help change those perceptions.

9. yup, I completely agree with your take on this and it's truly a
scary thought. This show could endear her to the low information/apolitical types.

11. You're right about that - some will tune in and say, "What a nice family!"...
I guess we have to hope that others will tune in and say, "Wow, she really is a dumbshit!"
