I’m wondering Palin’s action is a case of retreat and regroup, or of taking the football and going home.
We’ll see.
I don’t assume everyone wants to put themselves and their families through the meat grinder of our politics. Hillary and Bill trained Chelsea as a child to understand nasty things would be said - I thought it sounded like child abuse - but they all knew it was coming and obviously they considered their ambition more important than their daughter’s chance at a normal life. Maybe Sarah doesn’t want to go about it that way. Maybe she’ll be a force but as an independent citizen. I think she can do a lot that way.
We’ll see. Personally, if Sarah were my sister I’d probably tell her to enjoy her family and her life. Who needs the misery. That being said, I really wish she’d go for it to save us from the dirty rats.
It may be neither. It may be a flanking attack. If the day she steps down, she raises the black flag and declares open political warfare on the nanny government and all of Obama's agenda, then I'm all in.
