Quick post while at work….Sarah Palin is resigning as Governor.

Guess that’s it for her.

UPDATE

“Todd to FNC: Sarah to concentrate on doing things for Alaska and the country she can’t do as governor.”

UPDATE

She brings up the slams against Trig as being a reason her kids wanted her to do something. “It’s been in the works for awhile.” Said that her trips to visit the troops was a factor.

Nice finish. “Don’t explain - your friends don’t need it, and your enemies won’t believe it anyway.”

Not sure I get it. She could be planning to spend 2010 campaigning for true conservatives for 2010, forcing the party back to its roots and then onto 2012. Or she could be tired of the lawsuits and crap she takes from the media and the left.

Confused.

UPDATE

[FlingWingFlyer]

She said her decision was “fortified” after visiting the troops. The gloves are coming off. No more “ethics” bullsh*t from the buffoons down at Juneau.

[lilylangtree]

Wish she’d stay. If she runs for re-election & wins, she retains the title of Governor which is prestigious should she still want to go after the presidential election in 2012.

[SolidWood]

Her adress leaves no doubt. She will stay in politics on a different front. I think she’ll rally the grassroots and raise funds and support for candidates in 2010. She’ll be kingmaker and by 2012 ready for the big move against the abomination.

[Faith]

However this turns out, Sarah has been a wonderful breath of fresh air. I thank God for her and wish her well.

[Hugin]

“I look forward to helping others – to fight for our state and our country, and campaign for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops, and energy independence.”

Building a base of support for 2012.

[DallasSun]

Reported on MSNBC by Andrea Mitchell..a source says Palin is out of politics for good.

[Cicero]

As I think about this, I would characterize Sarah as one of the few politicians who is not in it for power, but because she likes leading and helping people and making things better.

If she couldn’t see her way clear to doing that, she might just decide to step down.

On the other hand, if the whole country goes to hell in a handbasket and turns to her for help, she might come back in again. But she doesn’t need power for personal satisfaction.

[clintonh8r]

I haven’t heard a good explanation of motivation or timing yet. All I know is there are a lot of good people disappointed, and a lot scurvy RATs celebrating and, yes....still in attack mode. Azzholes.

[humblegunner]

Resigning AGAIN?

[SolidWood]

A anonymous source my rear... the lefty MSM isn’t worth a second to listen to.

[j_k_l]

Perhaps she was paid a visit by John Galt?

[don-o]

Andrea Mirchell? Hold on while I get a spoon to gag myself with.

[CommieCutter]

Reported on MSNBC........

Okay, I’m not convinced.

[The Wizard]

I look forward to helping others – to fight for our state and our country, and campaign for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops, and energy independence.”

She's Running

[mockingbyrd]

Patience is not a virtue of mine. I’m pretty bummed right now, and would like to know the rest of the story. Best to all the Palin family.

[FastCoyote]

[Wish she’d stay. If she runs for re-election & wins, she retains the title of Governor which is prestigious should she still want to go after the presidential election in 2012.]

I’m not saying you are wrong, but you have to admit it’s a gutsy executive decision. She may spiral in as a presidential candidate because of this, but sometimes going against the flow has its dividends too.

[AUH2O Repub]

I don’t mind her not running for another term - she could do a lot more good helping conservative candidates, but why not finish out her term - something must be wrong. Am I losing my entire tagline??

[livius]

I thought she was just not going to seek another term.

Resigning effective July 26? I’m stunned.

[don-o]

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND I WANT TO KNOW IT NOW!!!!!!

chill out, folks.

[ponygirl]

SEE? I’m not the only one who sees it. First the Sanford implosion, now this... none of this is making any sense.

[FlashBack]

Yes, wishing the best for her and her family.

[DallasSun]

Yes. I wish her and her family well. I think more of the story will come out in the coming days.

[pepsionice]

The grand plan? She runs against Senator Lisa Murkowski (a lousy 2-star Republican) in next year’s election....knocking her out in the primary and no real competition to oppose her in November.

As for 2012? Forget it. It’s now out....and I’m betting a 2015 run for President. She’ll do the same trick then too...resigning in January 2015, and Republican Governor Parnell (he’ll still be around), will pick the replacement. She’ll have a open calendar and be able to accuse any Senator of running that they aren’t being faithful to the people they represent....forcing them to resign or else admit that they don’t have ethics.

It’s a four-star scripted move.

[newfreep]

Angrier Mitchell? It’s gotta be true! LOL!!!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Andrea Mitchell is a sack of crap.

[Covenantor]

She is also giving Lt. Gov Parnell enough time in office to prove himself as an incumbent in the next gubernatorial election. Good move.

Something tells me that she had some very interesting conversations aboard the USS Stennis and in Kosvo.

[DallasSun]

Andrea M itchell is a cut above the rest in my opinion.

[Deo volente]

Reported on MSNBC by Andrea Mitchell..a source says Palin is out of politics for good.


What "source"??? Andrea Mitchell reporting on MSNBC, the "Hate Sarah 24/7 Network"? Hah!

I just can't believe that. Let's wait and see how this all plays out.

[TCats]

LOL - Agree. Seemed to be a pretty straightforward statement to me.

[j_k_l]

"First the Sanford implosion, now this... none of this is making any sense."

As Francisco D'Ancona would say - "Check your premises".

[F15Eagle]

That would make liberal moonbat Andrea Mitchell very happy.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

She certainly seemed upbeat in the Fox Video...could be she is going to give speeches to pay off the half a million cost of fighting all of the crapola attacks....

and then decide whether to make a run....

[Jeff Head]

I listened to her entire announcement. It was honorable, it was direct, and it punctuated the insane politics of our day...it also punctuated her personal commitment to fight, and to do so when it would not distract further from her job as Governor and the foundation she has built there.

I am proud of her and support her. She is a great American.

I think Sarhah has just turned, like a fed-up mama Bear, on her detractors. She has put things in order, she has left them in the hands of capable people, and she has now turned to face her enemies ditrectly.

...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!

I believe she will assist others greatly in 2010, and will run herself in 2012...and she has my full support.

GO SARAH GO!

When are we going to do finally do something about the slimeballs from the McCain campaign who have trashed Sarah Palin from the beginning. They mismanaged her campaign and allowed her to be set up and embarrassed by Couric and others in the MSM. Then McCain's daughter is out trying to kiss up to the same MSM who attack Sarah. Then at the end of the campaign they fed lies to the MSM about Sarah's wardrobe and her ignorance etc. Then lately they worked with Vanity Fair to trash her. All the time McCain let her be fed to the wolves and did nothing to protect her. I think these people are the scum of the earth and someone needs to take names and holds these despicable scumbags accountable.

[ponygirl]

Makes me wonder what is really going on down there in Argentina.

[toddausauras]

If she’s writing a book and wants to effectively campaign for others in 2010 (a must in politics as she does need to scratch a few backs...) then this makes sense.

[DallasSun]

Yes. I agree with you. We need to wait for the story to play out. There has to be more to it than this. I do wish the family well though and they seem to be such a strong family. They will be fine no matter what.

[arbooz]

The leftists are apoplectic over this. "She's done"..."She's finished"..."Andrea Mitchell's sources say she's out from politics for good"...The parasites can't believe their "luck".
Great country, America : one half of it works for a living, the other half votes for a living. Hopefully the looters are in for a surprise.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

a source says Palin is out of politics for good.

They hope their attacks have been successful.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

HUH?

[j_k_l]

Rush and Mark Levin have something big in the works to be announced soon. Might be connected.

[OwenKellogg]

** As Francisco D’Ancona would say - “Check your premises”. **

Well put. I expect we will be pleasantly surprised at the outcome of this decision.

[SeaHawkFan]

I believe she will assist others greatly in 2010, and will run herself in 2012...and she has my full support.

Going to be lots of candidates that will want her for fundraising and votes. She is going to be collecting a lot of IOUs and grass root support within the GOP.

[Mr Rogers]

I’m sure Andrea Mitchell has a lot of sources who are close to Sarah Palin...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrea Mitchell probably can’t spell Alaska, or find it on a map!

[DallasSun]

I agree with many about msnbc being against Palin...and McCain...other than Scarborough I had to stop watching msnbc completely during the campaign. But I do like Mitchell.

[bray]

Android Mitchell has no clue and there is no doubt Saracuda could care less about the Presidency. That is why she would be an outstanding President.

Pray for America and Gov Palin

[ponygirl]

I didn’t listen to Rush today. I’ll have to download the podcast.

[Jeff Head]

Yep...and in addition, I think Sarah has just turned, like a fed-up mama Bear, on her detractors. She has put things in order, she has left them in the hands of capable people, and she has now turned to face her enemies directly.

...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!

GO SARAH GO!
