Other sources report different things.

Isn't it a bit early to call it?

Sarah may be quiting politics, but it IS for GOOD and NOT for EVIL. :)

I don’t care what she does, short of becoming Newt in drag. I’ll follow her anywhere.

The lefties are scared. Big time. Tee-Hee! :)

Andrea Mitchell should move to CBS, she would be in great company with the Dan Rather’s and such. Just keep note of this, the second I ever believe a word that comes out of MSNBC I want to be put in an institution Ok LOL

Clearly she feels anything she does to further her potential presidential ambitions will lead to further frivolous ethics charges being filed.

So they are forcing her out, if she wants to run for president and I think she does.

Sounds like Andrea Mitchell, the rest of the msm, and the ol’ boys in the GOP club are all hoping that Sarah is finished. Only Bill Kristol and Mike Huckabee on Fox were civil about her speech today. Just yesterday crabby Krauthammer was saying she needed to “bone up” if she intended to run again. Now she has plenty of time to do just that, so Charles ought to be happy, but I suspect he won’t because it seems he doesn’t like women in politics.
As for her being “a quitter” because she didn’t finish her term, pray tell did anyone in the msm say that about Obama when he quit in the middle of his first term in the Senate...and was running for the presidency from Day 1? She certainly has put in more time on the job than he did, and it was an administrative job that she did very well.

Considering Andrea Mitchell’s husband helped create the housing bubble, she should shut her face and be shunned from society like Mrs. Madoff.

Well, she didn't get to be the new #2, but maybe she'll have a shot at being #1 now that she's resigned.

Somebody help me...how is it bad that she’s quitting a job that Old Media-Old Washington never recognized as a “real” job? (unlike, say...Community Organizer)

In 5 decades of watching politics, gutsiest move I’ve ever seen. God bless her.

Yes, Palin has left politics behind. She has instead chosen patriotism and fidelity to the founding principles of our nation:
free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE . . .

we can ALL learn from our selfless Troops… they’re bold, they don’t give up, they take a stand and know that LIFE is short so they choose to NOT waste time. They choose to be productive and to serve something greater than SELF... and to build up their families, their states, our country. These Troops and their important missions – those are truly the worthy causes in this world and should be the public priority with time and resources and NOT this local / superficial wasteful political bloodsport.

(Emphasis mine.)

I dunno, this sounds pretty good to me right now.

I just watched her speech. She mentions Alaska numerous times, but America very little. Someone planning to run for national office would have reversed that emphasis.

IMO, she is quiting politics, or at least she will not run for office again. I imagine she has had a belly full of our sleazy political system, as many of us here at FR have. I don't blame her a bit.

She has likely come to the same conclusion I have: The system is so corrupt, & the ruling class is so entrenched, that an honest, honorable person has no chance of making meaningful reforms. And the temptation of compromise inevitably makes the reformer part of the continued corruption. If you play with sh$t, you begin to stink, too.

Better now than in the middle of a campaign.
