Mid-term elections are only 16 months away. Palin will be a tremendous help getting the vote out to take congress back - and if we don't succeed I doubt there will be much of a country left by the next presidential election.

2010 is our D-Day.

How will Palin be a tremendous help for getting out the vote in 2010?
Most Republicans want to move past 2008. And as someone who abruptly resigned from office, she’s not exactly going to have the clout she once had.

Who says she wants to be a tool for the GOP anymore at all?
She’s been used and abused by everyone in Republican politics who just wanted to exploit her as some kind of ‘symbol’ and project all their hopes and aspirations on to her. Unlike 0bama, I don’t think she’s cool with that. I don’t think she wants any of this.

You really think she’s going to go out and devote her life to advancing the careers of other politicians over being a wife and mother? She just isn’t the kind of hungry political animal all of her supporters want her to be.

I think that’s half the reason she quit.
Not everyone wants to drag their family through political life. Sarah Palin really is all about her family. I think she had a surreal ride in the twisted political world, and she’s ready to get back to normal life.

She’s not going to continue painting a target on her children’s backs just to promote her career, much less other people’s.

I’ve made it no secret that I don’t think she was ever up to the job of national politics.
But that doesn’t mean I wish ill on her. I just think she doesn’t have what it takes to deliver a political victory.
I think it’s time people stop treating her like some piece of political meat, demanding she be everything they want her to be, putting her life and her family aside for their own selfish wants.
