Advice For Sarah Palin

Apparently Oprah Winfrey has made a decision not to have GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin as a guest on her show. I guess she doesn't want to do anything that might negatively impact the campaign of THE ONE.

She is taking some heat for the decision and I think Palin needs to step up and put an end to this and issue the following statement:

It has been reported that Oprah Winfrey, who has been an ardent supporter of Senator Obama's campaign, has chosen not to have me as a guest on her show and that people are being highly critical of the decision. While I appreciate the demonstration of your support it is not really necessary. Had I been invited to appear on the show I would have declined. As I said in my acceptance speech, here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.

I think that should put an end to the Oprah situation.

1 She's talking a good game. Maybe I'm cynical but I just don't trust what politicians say anymore. I'll never forget how Reagan let us down - During his eight years in office he gave us bigger gov't and bigger deficits than ever. Despite that, I would say that it's too bad Sarah Palin is not running for president.

2 It does point to an interesting dilemma. If you think Palin might be a good president do you cast a vote for McCain to help Palin remain viable in 2012?
And if they win, will she still be a desirable candidate after 4 years in Washington?
