It's worth remembering that as the Sarah Palin does all these morning shows, gearing up for 2012 (isn't it insane that she and the GOP are starting the next campaign now, admidst this economic crisis?), her rehab mission is essentially irrelevant.
Palin doesn't control her 2012 destiny: Barack Obama does. As long as he has an effective first term as president, Palin can rehab herself all she wants, but she won't be able to win, because the pursuit of the 2012 nomination will simply bea contest to win the right to lose to Obama.
