Sara Palin isn't running for president.
There is one school of thought that her forays into the media world (which, by the way, should make most hard-working professionals in that arena pretty angry) are an unconventional way to keep herself in the spotlight should the time come for here to get serious about campaigning.
Protip: she isn't.
She will probably keep dropping hints, probably keep flirting with the idea, keep people guessing. But when it comes down to the wire she will simply be someone the Republican nominee needs to cozy up to.
Is she a political force? Certainly. She's got a considerable following, and that following is rabid enough to immediately, unquestioningly flock to whomever she endorses.
But she knows better than anyone that she can't win the nomination and she sure as hell can't win the main event, so all of this is just a way to milk her fame as much as possible.
And, perhaps, keep the issues she thinks are important out in the public forum. Although narrating a documentary hardly seems like such a thing to me.
