The former Alaskan governor flaunted her right to drink large quantities of "pop" from a "Super Big Gulp" on stage and jabbed favorite punching bag Karl Rove, saying he should run for office instead of playing "architect."

Rove retorted on "Fox News Sunday" that unlike Palin, he "wouldn't leave office midterm" if elected.
