“I love Sarah Palin.”
I don’t - she served half a term as governor. I know a quitter when I see one.
You need to find a site more suited to you; you don't belong here.
Well, she’s not a quitter - she’s definitely a fighter. But she was very ambitious. The vast majority of freepers adored her and still do. I liked her until I found out she had a newborn. My opinion was that a mother of a newborn should stay close to home, not agree to be the presidential nominee’s running mate on the national stage. And, wow, that opinion wasn’t popular here. lol
But I doubt the publicity broke up their marriage. Their family has had other troubles. Sorry to see the news of this divorce.
I would compare her to Paul Ryan, who was Romney's pick four years later. At the time, Ryan was a six-term Representative from Wisconsin (from a district with about 700,000 people, Kenosha and Racine), elected in 1999. Ryan didn't have any leadership roles until after he was Romney's running-mate, except for chairing the House Budget Committee since 2011. Prior to joining Congress, Ryan held various aide positions for Republicans.
Contrasting to Palin, she first ran for office in 1992 for Wasilla City Council and won a four-year seat (Ryan was working as a waiter, a fitness trainer, and other odd jobs). In 1996, Palin ran for mayor of Wasilla and won two three-year terms (Ryan became a speech-writer for VP candidate Jack Kemp, and ran for Congress while Palin was running for her second term as mayor). Palin then ran in 2003 for the Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and won that two-year seat (in 2000, the first of only two Ryan bills to become law was passed, renaming a post office in his district). In 2006, Palin became the ninth Governor of Alaska (the other Ryan bill to become law was passed in 2008, lowering the excise tax on arrow shafts).
I would say that Palin had the clearly stronger resume than Paul Ryan, but Ryan didn't get the same treatment that Palin got.
It's obvious by contrast that the establishment feared what Sarah Palin represented and made it a mission to take her out. It's also what they're doing to President Trump now.
And Paul Ryan became a Never-Trump backstabbing RINO who sabotaged the GOP's chances to hold the House in 2018.

“Quitter”? Get lost sonny.

Well, bye, n00b.
FR is Palin Country.
The liberals drove her out of office with frivolous lawsuits. As soon as she became a private citizen those charges became libel and slander - - and stopped.
I won’t vote for a full-term Governor. It’s a good thing she resigned.
