Does this look like the current leader of Alaska and former McCain running mate, or just another candid shot of a celeb with nice legs kickn' it by the pool? 
It's no coincidence -- Sarah Palin oozes the celeb vibe and appears more than comfortable with it.
The pic was taken at the Republican Governor's Conference in Miami. Sarah apparently cut out of the seminar on post traumatic election stress syndrome.

First, I don't know if that is a picture of Sarah Palin however it would not surprise me.
If it is, here is why she is not ready for the National stage and for those who continue to defend here, read this and you might learn something.
The knock against her was her lack of what it takes to be a National leader. Going to the Republican Governors conference is something she needs to do as a Governor. Politics is all about image and selling yourself as serious and competent. You give your speech and then spend your spare time talking to your peers about problems and issues, you listen and learn. If you have down time, you don't get yourself caught drinking at a bar or sitting at a pool. You want to do that go off to an Island on vacation with your family. You do not 2 weeks after getting criticized by the press as being more fluff than substance cut out and hang around the pool. Being a public official is not like being a regular business person or private citizen, you give up a lot to be a politician and anyone who does not understand that, does not understand the profession.
You want to go out to dinner, go sight seeing fine. The impression I get is she gave her speech, got her face time and she thought her job was done. No this is not a serious pol.

Amazing at the ignorance and double standardsof people in this country.
When Obama went body surfing it was such an elite and wonderful thing.
If Sarah Palin can't sit by a pool...then nobody else has a right to sit by a pool.
Those who call names such as whore ect. this is telling the world what you are.
"those who have the heart of a whore" is the whore.
Sarah Palin brought out the ugly hatefilled people's jealousies.

You guys need to settle down, she loves the attention. Besides you decided to take the time to check out the picture and read the comment too. The press is just giving you what you want.

While I'm no Palin fan, I think using this picture as an attack would be ridiculous...that said, I don't see that TMZ actually did that. It is a candid shot of her looking pretty good , like the candid shots of Obama on a beach. It is also open ground for minor snipes like Michelle Obama's pregnant lookingdress on election night. We can make fun as long as we do not state it has anything to do with political or other capablities. '
The ridiculous horrendous comment by "fool's" (good choice of names) is the only horrible thing here. This has nothing to do with Obama or even the so-called "lefty press." He complains about the comments which are mostly pro-Palin (or pro her looks). Then, he decides he needs to undertake a smear commercial when the election is over.
Obama (like every politician, such as McCain) probably has 4 or 5 meetings each day with 5-20 attendees, so that's thousands of people in meetings with each politician and in a few of those one of the attendees was Ayers (a world leading researcher on education to members of both parties, who is n EX-radical who a member of--but was specifically not involved with--a group who committed a horrible act that negligently caused two terrible deaths a generation ago). If you want to go to religion do you want to discuss Palin's exorcism or Hagee's support of McCain? Neither of those are specific to their politics and neither is Wright's.

I thought the election was over. Seems like it is time to get past it. Hopefully, President-Elect Obama will make some good decisions. He was not my candidate of choice, but he won fair and square. I think its time for this country to unite as one, he is our democratically elected leader, get used to it.
As for Governor Palin, that's what I like about her, she just acts like a normal American not a Washington politician. Look forward to hearing more from her and more "average" citizens looking to improve this great country of our's that needs a lot of fixing right now.

Look, I disagree with just about everything she stands for, and she scares the hell out of me, but really enough is enough!!!!
She is enjoying the afternoon in the warm sunshine at a convention, big whoop. She certainly couldn't do that in Alaska! Stop creating news where there is no news.

Speaking of Ayers..did you see his interview on GMA? Now THAT was scary. He says he wasn't a terrorist because all he did was blow up a few buildings...he didn't hurt anybody. WHAT??????
