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.
Palin had 18 months to go. She had already served 30. You couldn’t have drug me out of the state capital without me leaving fingernails on the door sills.
She just let the Democrats drive her from office. I don’t care what excuse is given. This is what it amounts to.
She’s not tough enough to take the arrows of our left, but she would be tough enough to take threats of war, nuclear blackmail, and whatever else the Chinese, Russia, Korea, or Iran dished out? “Oh, I never realized this could happen, I need to go. My family is more important.” Good grief.
Honorable, is taking the arrows of your enemies, riding it out and ending your tenure with your head held high. It’s not sticking your tail between your legs and darting for the exit.
There’s no honor in this. She asked the people of Alaska to support her. They did. Now she’s bailing.
