"Sarah Palin's Alaska" has scored a ratings coup for TLC (The Learning Channel) bringing in a record 5,000,000 viewers. The show follows the life of the former Alaska governor and Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin and her family, as they spend time at home and engage in outdoor activities. 

Many have speculated the show is a launch pad for a presidential run in 2012, after she fired up the Tea Party to noticeable gains in this month's midterm elections, which the Republican Party benefited from as well.
