Sarah Palin is in Toledo, Ohio this morning talking about energy policy – and taking up all the major news networks. Who gives a policy speech 6 days out from an election? Talking about energy independence isn’t going to win over Ohio. And how often does the VP nominee make policy speeches?



Note the podium – this is a policy speech, no doubt about it. What’s really at work here? Well, when the circular firing squad has set up in your camp, the smart ones start to look to the next election. Sarah Palin may be saying “we” and “our administration” but it’s clear that this is the first speech of Sarah’s 2012 run.

NOTE FROM JOHN: Oh she means “our administration” all right – her administration in 2012.
