Her ticket lost the election, but Sarah Palin doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. After countless interview appearances in recent weeks, the Alaska governor is the subject of a new series of ads from a conservative political action committee.

Our Country Deserves Better, the group responsible for some of this year's more colorful TV spots, is launching a Thanksgiving ad campaign to thank Palin for her "advocacy of common-sense conservative values."

"As Americans sit down to their Thanksgiving dinners of turkey -- or moose -- a grateful nation wishes to say, 'Thank you,'" conservative radio talk show host Mark Williams says in the opening of one version. Deborah Johns, a Blue Star mother who gained national media attention for her 2005 standoff with Cindy Sheehan in Crawford, Texas, appears in the spots, expressing her gratitude to Palin for teaching her son Track -- currently serving in Iraq -- "about the greatness of America, and the honor and valor of serving in our nation's armed forces." Singer/songwriter Lloyd Marcus adds, "Thank you for the grace and dignity you showed, even when some tried to smear and destroy you."

PAC members were invited to come to California to participate in the making of the TV spots, and many answered the call. Each of the four versions expresses the idea that Palin has become a symbol of "hope" for many Americans at a time when many politicians have let the country down.

The ads are set to be released in Alaska on Tuesday, with buys on cable stations -- and possibly some networks -- in the lower 48 to follow on Thursday. They are being funded by thousands of donations from supporters, according to Sal Russo, chief strategist of the Our Country Deserves Better Committee.

"Governor Palin inspired millions of Americans by fighting for common-sense conservative principles in a positive and uplifting manner," Russo said. He compared Palin's appeal with the conservative base to that of Ronald Reagan, whom he worked for in the 1960s. "Some politicians just light up the room," Reagan and Palin included, Russo observed.

"She truly rejuvenated the campaign," Russo said, describing how the crowds reacted to the mere mention of the governors' name at the group's "Stop Obama" national road tour events. He said that focusing the ads on the ticket's No. 2 "meant no disrespect to John McCain," but rather was a recognition that Palin "brought something special to the campaign." Furthermore, while McCain faces the twilight of his potlical career, "she's got something special to lead the party into the future," Russo added.

Palin's Thanksgiving season got off to a rough start last week when, after pardoning a turkey, she gave an interview to TV news crews apparently unaware that she was standing against a backdrop of other turkeys being slaughtered.
