Guess this is one way of grabbing headlines back from Mark Sanford.

This is a good article.
And Steyn is right.
It’s time to cut bait on Sarah Palin as the future hope of the GOP, just as she’s cut bait on political life.
She’s not the Moses to lead us out of the desert.

I never put any energy into hoping or thinking she’d be my gal for 2012 anyway.

A voice of reason. Maybe she just screw younz! I love my family and I’m not willing to move from God’s country and sacrifice them to the gods of power and celebrity. Let the sheep fend for themselves.

I fully agree with Mark Steyn's take, in fact, it parallels my post which came out with the news:
It is the explanation that makes the most sense, her family has been so battered by this process, by the unmitigated venom of the Democrat attacks against her, that they are simply withdrawing into their Alaskan reality. They never lived by the Beltway reality. They are just going home.

Not a lot is known yet about what Sarah Palin’s reasons for resigning are, and I am getting pretty tired of all the speculating, kvetching and etc., but I am of the mind that she feels she can work for conservatives in other ways than running for office. Maybe I’m wrong and she really is saying enough is enough. I guess time will tell, but I just don’t see her quitting politics entirely.
Besides, she’s still young and still has time to run for office in the future. ;-)
Good one by Steyn, as always.
To: counterpunch; All
While all of us are able to express our opinion, you seem to be trolling each and every post about Sarah Palin.
TO ALL: DO NOT RESPOND TO counterpunch, THE TROLL!

National office will dwindle down to the unhealthily singleminded (Clinton, Obama), the timeserving emirs of Incumbistan (Biden, McCain) and dynastic heirs (Bush). Our loss.M.S., Is really telling (the anal) "the Washington D.C. King Makers" to go "straight to hell".

Not everyone has drank the Palin Kool-Aid.
Some of us recognized it for the political poison it is when she imploded last October.

....it was not a professionally planned eventThe best thing Palin can do is stay away from the GOP's "professional planners".
To: SolidWood
Sorry bud, but political life is what it is. If you decide to enter then you need to stand by your commitments.
I can’t back someone who’s going to cut and run when the going gets tough. If she thinks being governor is tough, she would have one hell of a rude awakening living in the White House.
If she never plans on running for president, she may have made the right decision. If she does, I won’t be supporting her. Not after this...
I’ve spent too many years in my life wishing a candidate would live up to my expectations, only to have them fail that. I just don’t live in the dream world any longer.
I’m just not going to hope beyond hope that Sarah will work things out.

With respect to many of the Palinologists below, I think they're getting way too hepatomantic over the entrails.So Steyn steps on his own words of caution by offering his own assumption. And not even an original one at that. For Steyn, this is subpar.
To: counterpunch
Shes not the Moses to lead us out of the desert.Well, it's not McCain, and it's not the Huckster, and it's certainly not the slimy Romney.... Who do you suggest, genius?

National office will dwindle down to the unhealthily singleminded (Clinton, Obama), the timeserving emirs of Incumbistan (Biden, McCain) and dynastic heirs (Bush). Our loss. What about Reagan?

Why do you think she’s getting tens of thousands of people to attend her small events, if she imploded last October?
She didn’t implode last October. Good grief, everyone’s entitled to a setback once in a while.
Until today, she was headed on to be a top contender in 2011/12.
