...Palin hit the road this past weekend to influence the fortunes of two 27-year veterans of Congress, who simultaneously entered the House in 1983 and the Senate in 1987 and who are now facing the toughest races of their careers. Palin spent Friday and Saturday morning in Tucson and Phoenix, Ariz., to help save the job of John McCain, the man who put her on the political and cultural map when he added her to the Republican ticket in 2008. On Saturday afternoon, she touched down in the outskirts of Searchlight, Nev., birthplace and residence of the Democrats' embattled...

Since there had been speculation about possible violence and outrageous behavior in Searchlight, the event was comparatively tame - no mob marching down the highway with lit torches or calls for public insurrection against Obama.

...previous aggressively negative stance on the health care bill, seeing peril in opposing the measure's more popular provisions. They are searching for a more nuanced and modulated message that will allow them to avoid the damning Party of No label, while still making their principles clear. But Sarah Palin doesn't really do nuance or modulation. Defiance is more her style, and this past weekend she used her folksy brand of full-throated opposition to dominate American politics yet again with appearances in Arizona and Nevada. The lady from the frozen north happens to be one heck...

...carefully controlling her own visibility - and refusing to be challenged or held accountable by adversaries or the press - she has become even more irresistible as programming and copy. Just last week, she signed a television deal reportedly worth millions to be featured in an eight-episode documentary called Sarah Palin's Alaska on Discovery's TLC channel. She'll add the show to Palin Inc., which already includes her richly compensated duties on Fox and another book on the way, as well as the mega-best seller Going Rogue and numerous private speaking engagements. But Palin plans to make time...
