Opps, it looks like Sarah Palin is still making waves in the media. This woman, deemed the “renegade” and charismatic personality of the Republican party has not gone away. After announcing her resignation as the Governor of Alaska, Palin is receiving full frontal media coverage (yet again) today.  This time around, she writes an op-ed for the Washington Post, in an attempt to attack Obama’s “tax and cap” plan. Newspapers are slowly losing it’s “swag” compared to non-traditional outlets, like that of the Huffington Post. I’m not quite sure who is capitalizing on this op-ed more, the renegade of the Republican party or the WaPo?

She writes:

Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:

I am deeply concerned about President Obama’s cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

Does she really care or have knowledge of the plan?  Is Sarah more concerned about praising her home state and addressing “personality-driven gossip” regarding her family’s media backlash? Is this an attempt from the WaPo to increase its readership?

Regardless of the reasoning behind the WaPo’s and Palin’s partnership, she is not ready to leave mainstream America.  The tactics behind Palin’s abrupt resignation and unspoken view against liberals is only the beginning of the re-transformation of her public persona. She is beginning to highlight her future agenda, for a possible run to the White House in 2012.

Sarah, you have contradicted yourself as the WaPo is nothing short of making headlines of their own.  Endorsing Palin or her ghost writer is disappointing but desperate times, calls for desperate actions.

Aside from all of this, do you think Sarah Palin wrote the article?
