ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin is taking her conservative message to Fox News.
An attorney for the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate says Palin will provide some type of commentary for the cable network.
Attorney Thomas Van Flein declined to elaborate on the deal.
Palin is hugely popular with conservatives and has more than 1 million Facebook followers.
She stepped down as Alaska governor in July, 17 months before the end of her first term in office. Her resignation came less than a year after she vaulted to overnight fame as John McCain’s running mate.
Palin worked part-time as a weekend sportscaster in the 1980s for KTUU-TV in Anchorage.
She is not the first politician from the 2008 election cycle to make the transition to Fox.
Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and one-time presidential candidate, joined Fox News as a contributor and now has his own show on the network.
