SARAH RISING – AT 9:17 A.M. ET:  Andrew Malcolm at the L.A. Times's Top of the Ticket blog raises some intriguing questions about Sarah Palin, whose stock seems to be soaring.  (Even the liberal commentator Mark Halperin was favorably assessing her earlier this week.)  Andrew posts a new Sarah video and asks:

Watch it. See if you think it's from someone who is not running for, oh, say, the nomination for an important office from a major political party. Or laying the foundation to play a major role in that decision by assembling a following of numerous like-minded, loyal folks.

Did you notice anything missing in this video, as we did? (Answer down below.*)

As we wrote here on The Ticket Tuesday, a majority of Americans now say their views match Palin's. Or vice versa.

Play the video.  What do you think?  Please send us some thoughts.  Oh, by the way, what's missing from the video is that Sarah doesn't mention either political party.  Hmm.
