Palin: Media Portrayal Would Be 'Prettier' If She'd Been Dem VP Candidate
Alaska Gov.: State of Mainstream Media Today Is 'Very Scary'

Sheinkopf said he believes there is more to Palin's interview than airing grievances.
"It's her trying to keep her national franchise going among Republicans," he said. "The joke is over and she's being very serious. By doing so, Republicans on the outside have someone to rally around."
"If it works, it's a smart way to get those who feel on the outside to cling to her," Sheinkopf said.

"That's more the natural Sarah Palin. Be direct. Be forthright," Clark said. While it could be part of a broader strategy, Clark said Palin is likely just trying not to close any doors.
Regardless of the motivation behind Palin's words, Clark said that when the candid talk comes out, one thing is for sure: "That's Sarah Palin being Sarah Palin."
