If that is indeed it's underlying intent, it was a good idea. Sarah Palin my not be qualified in her lifetime to become the president of the united states, but she is most certainly qualified for the arena of political consulting. Let's face it, the women can attract crowds by the thousands regardless of her qualifications or lack thereof for high office.
However, having the ability to prompt that many people to show up at one place at the same time on behalf of an even moderately qualified candidate is a valuable asset. For as critical as I have been of Sarah Palin's lack of qualifications for high office, she is well qualified if the task is to draw crowds on behalf of someone that may be even moderately qualified.
