Most dems think SP is her own worst enemy. I imagine they are more than happy to have her making public appearances.

Than humans watch CNN. They have done extensive polling to show that the demographic breakdown of Fox viewership includes a *large* number of democrats and independents – where this game is going to be won or lost.

And she needs to write a book. That will take care of them financially for the rest of their lives. Her advance alone would be at least $6 million.

Proper grammar saves lives.

At American Thinker. The whole thing is worth reading, but I think my favorite line from it is the following:

She will be back. Not for 2012. The GOP has its plans already worked out. Very clever ones, too. The Republicans will do what they always do when they’re up against it: grab an empty suit and run around shaking it in people’s faces while shouting, “Here’s the man!” By 2012, after his policies really hit home, as gas and home fuel prices triple and quadruple, as medical rationing begins, as the renewed Axis of Evil runs wild across Eurasia, Obama will be ready to drop. At that point he could be defeated by a ticket consisting of Charley Manson and Jojo the Dogface Boy. But the GOP will blow it all the same. Exactly as the party did in ’96, following the same script to the letter. They will, to coin a phrase, Mitt it up.

Heh.

You did a pretty good job of clairvoyance with a post suggesting maybe she will just quit a few months back. But I don’t think that even you are going to predict what is going to happen over the next 20 years. I am not predicting that Sarah can get a second act in politics like Dick Nixon had after his 1962 “Checkers” speech. All I am saying is we all just have to let be what will be, and focus more of our attention on the issues we’re dealing with in 2009.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

1) Incur $500,000 in legal bills fighting bogus ethics charges?
2) Listen to a has-been comic joke about your 14 year old daughter getting “knocked up”?
3) Watch your church be burned to the ground?
4) Listen to the staff of the person who chose you for his running mate backstab you at every opportunity?
5) Listen to the sound of crickets chirping when the party you are a part of remains silent in the face of the most vile accusations one could dream up?

You want to finish that gig? Really?

Why?

Palin would have been also breaking a “promise” to be the Governor of Alaska, and would be leaving for a “higher calling.” No one knows what she means yet by a “higher calling” but, in my mind there is nothing “whiny” or acting like a teenager” in her reasons to decide as she has. If anything, she has given Parnell a chance at success or failure in the role of Governor, which can be more than helpful should he run in 2010. I say “if” because he will now be the bearer of the attacks by the Libs.

I suspect that now Obama, has given orders to Axelrod, to get the exterminator Emmanuel to send a surge in ACORN forces to Alaska to start digging for dirt on Parnell.

It’s a higher calling if the state will be better off with Parnell in the Governor’s seat than with her. If her presence is doing more harm to the state (costing money, etc.) than it’s helping, her departure is for the good of the state.

There’s nothing whiney about pointing out the truth–Obama left the Senate to pursue the Presidency, only he didn’t resign–he just quit fulfilling his duties. Hillary left her post to run, then become Sec. of State. Some may say there’s a difference, but in respect to your question, there is none–they both promised to do one thing, then did another, and the press didn’t care a bit.

My own take on it is that there is no big moral or ethical breach if any Governor decides to leave office before the term is up for any reason. States have Lt. Gov’s to step in, and they do. (The oath of office for a Governor isn’t even as solemn as marriage vows in San Francisco, at least in so far as resigning from the position goes.) It’s already happened at least twice in the last couple of years (not for savory reasons), and there should be another soon in South Carolina (not because he has to, but for the “higher calling” of party and personal damage control), so she will be the fourth, if I haven’t forgotten anybody. All those states will still be around next year, and so will Alaska.

Yes, the left will use it as a bludgeon. There’s no reason we have to help them. You call it “giving up a job” and she called it “passing the ball.” Whatever we call it, as long as she isn’t passing it to the other side, it’s only a matter of timing whether it’s now or in 18 months.

if the blistering upper cut that she lands against the MSM:
“Palin instead cast herself as a victim and blasted the media, calling the response to her announcement “predictable” and out of touch. “How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country,” the statement said. “And though it’s honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make.”
The MSM laid no criticism against BHO whatsoever for his leaving his position as Senator, elected by the people of Illinois to serve SIX years. He only represented them for no more than TWO before he shifted into presidential campaign mode 250% of his time. and in his two years allegedly representing the people of Illinios, exactly what did he do – NOT A DANGED THING. No sponsoring of legislation of any import; no challenge to the status quo; NOTHING.
Sarah Palin, though, accomplished many positive, and possibly a few negative, things that she promised the Alaskans that she represents, She has a Lt.Gov with whom she sees eye to eye with and is quite capable of taking over the business of Alaska. One of her CORE philosophies was to be a godd steward of the people’s money. It appears that because of the attacks on HER as Sarah, not as the Governor, she saw the waste of the people’s money that these claims were creating.

If you look at Friday through the prism of “What’s right for Alaska,” as opposed to “What’s in it for Sarah Palin,” her decision makes makes perfect sense taken in context with all of the attacks against her and her family.

It is a higher calling because if she stayed on as Alaska Govenor, the state would have wasted time and money defending her against ethics complaint, after ethics complaint.

The state is now free from that and she knows that the goals that she had as governor will be fulfilled with Shaun Parnell at the helm.

Instead of fighting off allegations constantly, Alaska can move forward with the pipeline etc. Anyone who doesn’t get this is pretty dense in my book.

Also, if you want to find something on Facebook, there’s a search bar near the top right corner of the site where you can search for friends, pages, etc. Usually, a politician’s official Facebook page will ask if you want to “Become a Fan”, instead of whether you want to “Join Group”. Hope that helps!

If she’s done with running for office, then it doesn’t matter to me. But if she runs for POTUS in 2012, there will be a lot of questions about her ability to stand up to the scrutiny on the national stage again. The ads would pretty much write themselves.
