What a reliable ping meister you are, Meek. Thank you for your steadfast dedication.
Everyone, does this sound like someone who is getting out of politics?
“In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life - my children (where the count was unanimous... well, in response to asking: “Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children’s future from OUTSIDE the Governor’s office?” It was four “yes’s” and one “hell yeah!” The “hell yeah” sealed it - and someday I’ll talk about the details of that... I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults recently.) Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig - I know he needs me, but I need him even more... what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT – that time is precious... the world needs more “Trigs”, not fewer.
“My decision was also fortified during this most recent trip to Kosovo and Landstuhl, to visit our wounded soldiers overseas, those who sacrifice themselves in war for OUR freedom and security… we can ALL learn from our selfless Troops… they’re bold, they don’t give up, they take a stand and know that LIFE is short so they choose to NOT waste time. They choose to be productive and to serve something greater than SELF... and to build up their families, their states, our country. These Troops and their important missions – those are truly the worthy causes in this world and should be the public priority with time and resources and NOT this local / superficial wasteful political bloodsport.

Thank YOU!
This will be interesting to watch it play out.
She is great, and I think has a lot to offer this
great country down the road.
Not out of politics altogether but I think she won’t run for office again. Obviously she feels she must protect her children from the viscous glare of a sensationalist media. This is good for her family but sad for the rest of us.
The speculation is hot on Palin. If she wanted to fade away quietly, this was not the way to do it. So, either she miscalculated [ha!], or she’s going to seek some kind of office. I don’t think this lady from Alaska thinks small either. And if she runs, it will not make the rats comfortable. The cheap attacks on her now will ultimately put a layer of teflon around her later. And personally, I think she doesn’t need as much teflon as most politicians.
