As Governor Branstad called the 2012 GOP candidates to the starting line, it appeared that the first round of crazy was coming to a close. Mike Huckabee's candidacy-turned-The Bachelor edition of his Fox broadcast, as well as the Donald's decision not to run seemed to be the end of the line for the GOP's crazy train. Obviously, I cannot speak for Michelle Bachmann, but without the Donald and Mike "wishy-washy" Huckabee, the field seems to be a little less crazy.
Leave it to Sarah Palin to throw more coal in that engine. On Monday, Mama Grizzly mailed 400,000 personal donation solicitations, leading many to believe she will make a run at the presidency. As a liberal, I cringe at the thought of her candidacy, but bask at the notion of making endless scathing remarks about her and her campaign.
It also seems that the media-at-large needs Sarah Palin in order to maintain interest in the 2012 campaign. There are no real rockstars on the right, as many have noted, and Barack is busy being the President. Who is going to watch a debate between eight people polling at 5% each? No one. No one, unless Sarah Palin is involved. She seems to be the only real celebrity with rockstar status out of this bunch, and who wouldn't want to see Mitt Romney's Harvard education become frustrated with Palin's debating skills? I couldn't be more excited at the possibility. Go ahead, Sarah. Run. Because it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
