Sarah Palin's been getting a lot of attention lately due to the release of her new book, but the truth is she's been getting a lot of attention over the course of the entire year since the end of the 2008 election. And frankly, right now I care about Sarah Palin about as much as I cared about John Edwards in 2005. Nobody can deny that running for President has practically become a full time gig 4 years before the next election, but what Sarah Palin says and does now will have absolutely no bearing on her results in the primary season 2+ years from now.
Yet it seems that everyone engaging in debates and discussions about Sarah Palin are ignoring that simple fact and treating every little controversy as the climax of some culture war. It doesn't take a wonk to break down the ongoing palinsanity coming from all sides.
