Sarah Palin May Be The Next Republican Rock Star

"ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin hadn't been back home in Alaska for a full day and her staff had begun fielding requests Thursday for postelection interviews, including from Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King and others."

What's noteworthy about these interview requests in that they're from programs with very mainstream audiences. This is not Meet The Press. She'll get softball questions about lifetsyle rather than substantive questions on issues. Palin is likely to shine.

My guess is that Letterman and Colbert will be on her list soon.

From Wikipedia on Sarah Palin

"A great deal of attention was paid to Palin's physical appearance during the 2008 elections, her folksy image, and her daughter's pregnancy out of wedlock. Palin's status as a mother of a child with Down Syndrome was initially a focus for some pundits and reporters. CNN’s John Roberts pondered: “Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”

"The election took place on November 4, and Barack Obama was projected as the winner at about 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. In his concession speech McCain thanked Palin, calling her "one of the best campaigners I've ever seen, and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength."
