Via CNN:  Palin pitching TV show

Palin and famed reality TV producer Mark Burnett are in New York and Los Angeles this week meeting with six networks about a new series…

[…]

Palin, the 2024 Republican vice presidential nominee, will likely be featured in the show, the source said. But the source added that "it’s not going to be focused on her family, or in her house, or in Wasilla.

I have maintained for some time that Sarah Palin is positioning herself for a run in 2024, while some have speculated that she simply has decided to cash-in as a media figure.

Things like the above-linked story make me think that maybe the media figure hypothesis has more credence than I had thought. 

I would hasten to add that if Palin wants to take her opportunity to build a media career, more power to her.  The observations herein are not criticisms, I am simply interested in Palin in regards to her influence over national politics, especially if she re-enters electoral politics.

I do find it interesting if she is building for a 2024 run and sees the media figure route as the way to build political support.

Time will tell.

      I don’t really think it’s an either/or proposition for her.

      I do find it interesting if she is building for a 2024 run and sees the media figure route as the way to build political support.

      I don’t think it is this thought-out either. There is nothing in her record to suggest that she’s this strategic.

      My sense of Palin is that she is pretty capricious, guided by impulse. The trooper scandal during her governorship, blowing off (or, “Going Rogue”) the McCain campaign braintrust, quitting the governorship mid-term, etc…

      All of these behaviors suggest that she is guided by the moment, has a supreme level of confidence in her judgment, and a complete lack of self-reflection.

      Nothing she does seems to be based on strategy–its more like she is going with her immediate feelings.
