In an NPR story this morning, David Gergen, professor of public service at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and director of its Center for Public Leadership, comments on Sarah Palin’s book tour and whether it has anything to do with her possible candidacy for the GOP nomination to the White House in 2012:
I don’t think this looks like a presidential campaign…[it has] more the sense of a campaign that is creating a large national personality who’s also going to make a lot of money.
Matthew Continetti, conservative journalist and associate editor at The Weekly Standard and author of, The Persecution of Sarah Palin: How the Elite Media Tried to Bring Down a Rising Star, had this to say regarding 2012:
She’s an impulsive politician. She reaches decisions very quickly, very suddenly. I think when the time comes, you know, if she’s faced with a choice, that’s when she’ll decide.
I give that quote from Continetti an “A” for honesty.

Shalom Jill,
I wish there was a single journalist out there with the access and integrity to ask Palin three questions:
1. What was your writing day like?
2. How many drafts of your book did you complete before you felt it was ready for your editor to read?
3. What political autobiographies did you read that helped you to shape your own?
B’shalom,
Jeff
