Your reply has the thoughtful tones of a eulogy about it which I suppose is inevitable when one contemplates the demise of a wonderfully promising political career. I hope the damage is limited to her career alone.
Anything’s possible I suppose. I’m not convinced her stepping down split the party any more than she already had.
There was the McCain/Romney faction that seemed to be trying to nullify her popularity. I despised that. Then there was the side that though she wasn’t ready. Then there was the side who was defending her against all comers.
Some Republicans and even some Conservatives were adopting the left’s canard that she wasn’t ready to be President. I just took one of them to task this morning. What did I get for it? I got my lunch handed to me by none other than Sarah Palin herself.
In one fell swoop, she proved the critics right. I said she was a fighter. I said she was made of tough stuff. I said she was politically savvy enough to be President.
If a Democrat had done what Palin did this morning, I’d be making mince-meat out of them.
Now I’m just shaking my head and wondering how long this faction of devotees will cling to her like the McCainiacs did their loss leader.
I’d say that I’m going to support Bobby Jindal from now on, but I seem to be the kiss of death to Republicans I care for.
Good luck Bobby. I don’t support you bud. I’d never put a curse on you like that.
Good grief. What’s next in this party, 50% of the Republican women to announce they’re gay and leave their husbands for fat leftist chicks?
Don’t give up just yet. There is a down to earth logic in what Sarah did today. The problem we have is that we have forgotten what it means to have common sense. What she did was absolutely common sense in a fashion my grandmother would have called quite honorable.

What do we get...? Sarah suddenly quitting in the middle of her first term.
What really killed me were those ridiculous "point guard" metaphors.
With South Carolina's Governor imploding on the national stage, Palin's timing could not be better.
Patience DoughtyOne, all is not known.
Oh Good Grief, what a little pity party we are having. Be of stout heart, no reason to cry about something that only happened a few hours ago and of which we still know only a little of the story. Personally I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt as I am not walking in her shoes; she may be having a PMS moment or this could be the first step in a carefully considered plan. I rather suspect the latter. She has a lot of passionate support and could well be the leader of a new movement. A lot of times things are not as they seem.
At this point we are all speculating. It is a fact the law suits, etc. were damaging her state and unlike Sanford (who should resign!), she cares more about her state than some foreign squeeze.
Sarah may not come out of this, we have much to learn about her issue positions, but I’ll love Sarah forever if for no other reason than knocking JACKO out of the news for a few minutes. CBS has been wall to wall Jacko worship since his demise.
LOL When the going gets rough, it is getting rough.
If you wish or you can stop worrying and let this play out. Worry is the product of lack of faith and or vision. At the very least, a worry wort has no strategy.
No more politics as usual...remember that one?
Hold on to your seat, the ride is getting tricky. It would be a lot more fun if put your hands in the air and stoped clenching your fists. :)

I'm not a Republican, but I sincerely doubt that will happen. Just a hunch.
