She'd have been better off in this instance just saying she wished the new president well, and was hoping for the best, not saying that she was "proud" of him. That strains the credulity of even the most casual political observer, never mind people who really follow the political process.

Very well stated, and I especially agree with the bolded. She no longer has to be Obama's opponent, but Palin's sudden desire to help and any other warm fuzzy sunshine sentiments she could offer still makes her look like a comic book character: Two-Face.
I think she's prepping for 2012 in any way possible because, as they say in Alaska, there's more than one way to skin a moose.
