#1 Trying to innoculate against the criticism he fears in Palin's book, and that will be generated by others even if she avoids nailing him directly I suspect.

#2 She won't knock him directly, nor should she indirectly. He's very useful to her, and he's the past as far as the game she's now in.

Besides, he's her entree into the other side of the GOP.

She's got far too many opportunities farther to the left - anyone think we've heard the last of "community organizing" or "death panels"? How about "beltway community organized death panels"? It's a target rich arena.

Good to see the Sen. back on point on security - that's his strength and he needs to play to it.

#3 the GOP needs to get away from Palin. Find someone qualified, there are lots of women who are going to fit that bill who are republicans. Bandwagons can be quite harmful especially when everyone is brainlessly supporting a pawn, get a leader, and then support them, whoever they end up choosing.Please!

#4 Because, you know, the dems know all about underqualified candidates.

#5 Riiiight, 746. We should always happily support whoever the elite choose for us. It worked out so well for McCain, didn't it?

Palin may not be the best choice in 2012, true. But I think I'd rather listen to what she has to say than Peggy Noonan or George Will, thank you very much.

#6 Actually Palin has more experience and decision making skills that most of the present leadership of both parties. She just didn't have a bottomless pit of money to fight the frivolous lawsuits that are allowed in Alaska laws.

#7 there are lots of women who are going to fit that bill who are republicans

Maybe you'd like Olympia Snowe.

#8 746 - Find someone qualified? Like obama?

#9 Before Palin took on the Democrats in running for governor, she cleaned house in the Alaskan Republican Party.

Which might explain why she is not especially popular with the talking trunks in Washington. Before she deals with donkeys.
