I was a bit disappointed in the interview. I watched it last night. I'm not sure there is a "let it all down" side to Palin. I think what you see is what she is.
I thought her true feelings showed through when Oprah asked her if Levi was welcomed at the Thanksgiving table. She struggled with that one and you could feel the pure "I can't stand him" oozing from her, but she's quick on her feet and gave a semi-answer. She was quick to point out his Ricky Hollywood status now and there was no question how she felt about him.

It's funny that you posted this just now.... I just hung up the phone from talking to my husband, he called to rave about the Sarah Palin interview he had just heard.
It was on the radio, not sure which show. But he loved her and what she had to say. He's hoping she's on the ticket in 2012.
(I really haven't been paying any attention since the election, I'm pretty burned out on politics right now)
It was probably Rush Limbaugh. I knew she was going to be on today, but I failed to turn on the radio. I'll read the transcript later.

IMO, Sarah Palin will NEVER win the GOP nomination! It's over for SP as far as national office hopes. She might run for Alaskan senator or congresswoman, but that's it!
She might find possibilities as a political TV talk show host. I don't know if even that will work, because I can't stand her whinny voice!
I think she's an embarrassment to the GOP!

It wasn't discussed specifically in the interview, although she does discuss her faith a lot in general.
Watch this for an idea of her religious views:
. . .
Grew up in the AG, talks about God's politics being the same as her own (God's will for that gas pipeline, and the war being God's will, e.g.), talks about the spirit of prophecy, etc. At least she's Pentecostalish!

This is quite a shame:

Yes it is.

Who in public office is going to "let it down" any more than Palin has done? She is wise to be careful. They pick that poor women apart more than a buzzard on a carcass!

It probably is because she is guarded.

I don't think she is an embarrassment to the GOP at all! Hopefully, she will be a help and not run for any type of office until or unless she has centered and balanced herself to some degree. And by that I mean to show what she really is made of without being chained to a desk (Governorship) to endure more frivilous lawsuits that cost the state enough money.
I think I had different expectations. I didn't want her to go on Oprah and make "points" about all the inconsistencies and unfairness and the Big Bad Biased Media. I wanted her to go on Oprah and be nice and ingratiating and relaxed and soft and win some brownie points for just being an all around nice person (which she obviously IS).
So, I was disappointed.
Here's what I think: I think she'll be a great grass-roots advocate on important issues. I'm with you on that one. I just don't think she's going to be a major political player, e.g., "presidential candidate"--at least not ANY time soon, including 2012 and 2016.
In snippets, there was nothing wrong with some of her statements. It was my overall impression of her reactions, expressions, dodging certain questions, etc.
