Talk Radio In Palin’s Future
By Don | July 30, 2009
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is quietly exploring the possibility of hosting her own talk radio show.

Alaska’s now former Governor is coy about her future political plans, but radio is at least one option she’s leaving on the table. While not exactly shopping the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate, sources say Palin representatives have been quietly testing the waters to see how much interest radio syndicators have for her.
Sources say Palin hasn’t committed to radio either, but rather it could be a possible next step for her. It isn’t unusual for a defeated national candidate to turn to radio. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s short-form commentaries air on more than 400 stations via Citadel Media. He remains among the names circulated for a potential presidential run in 2012.
Coming to radio would be an ironic twist for Palin, whose position on the media is pretty clear. “Quit making things up,” she told reporters in her final speech as Governor last week.
Palin will be banking on her popularity among conservatives to get the show off the ground but that is no guarantee that she will be successful.

Talk radio may or may not be the vehicle for Palin to remain in the national consciousness, but remain she must. So far, she is the only antidote we have for the dish-water republicans we call RINOS.
