Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

[LucyJo]

That’s exactly what I think too.

[Jeff Head]

I listened to her entire announcement. It was honorable, it was direct, and it punctuated the insane politics of our day...it also punctuated her personal commitment to fight, and to do so when it would not distract further from her job as Governor and the foundation she has built there.

I am proud of her and support her. She is a great American.

I think Sarah has just turned, like a fed-up mama Bear, on her detractors. She has put things in order, she has left them in the hands of capable people, and she has now turned to face her enemies directly.

...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!

I believe she will assist others greatly in 2010, and will run herself in 2012...and she has my full support.

GO SARAH GO!

SARAH PALIN TURNS TO CONFRONT HER DETRACTORS DIRECTLY

On please. It’s either going to be very quiet, or very busy. I’m betting and hoping it’s going to be very busy.

Well she has all the cards on her side of the table now.

Pray for America and Saracuda

Palin was hired by the people of Alaska to do a job for 48 months. Palin cut and run 17 months early.

So, Bill Kristol likes quitters. LOL

I got it Billy boy... you betcha!

[Netizen]

So. Obama was elected to be a Senator and he rarely showed up, seldom voted and spent the last two years away from the job, campaigning for president.

What’s worse, someone that leaves the job honorably and in reliable hands or someone that is a slacker?

[SolidWood]

I don’t even want to know who or what you like.

[FTJM]

Bill is reaching...

[SolidWood]

Bill is recognizing.

[4woodenboats]

But I wouldn't bet against it.

I'll be placing a bet to WIN here soon.

BTW, do you have a number for what she's lacking on the political attacks?

[antceecee]

Palin does the people of
Alaska a great favor. She realizes that the relentless press that is trying to sink her as a politician is contrary to the interests of the people of Alaska and does the most wonderful honest thing a politician could do - pass the baton to her Lt. Governor.
Sarah has shown great courage in this decision.

[Reagan Man]

It’s around 500 thousand dollars.

So often, Bill Kristol has rubbed me the wrong way. He can be arrogant, condescending, belittling and sometimes acts like a David Frum with brains.

This piece had none of that. It was honorable, plain spoken and fair. I will never be a Weekly Standard kind of guy, but I think Kristol knows what the stakes are. The Frums, Steve Schmidts and Peggy Noonans do not.

Maybe, maybe not. Mark Levin says same as bill.

As a citizen of IL, I resented a first-term six-year senator starting to run for pres a year after he was elected. He was only present 141 days in the senate, and I am sure many of his trips were on my nickel. So, I appreciate her directness with Alaskan voters and hope she will continue as a leader for the conservative movement.

[Reagan Man]

Likewise.

Ain’t freedom of speech great!

[JRandomFreeper]

Isn't Alaska an "at will" employment state? Either party can part ways without a problem.

And if she spent the time to groom the Lt. Gov for the position, and leaves him strong enough to overcome the Dem opposition, and gave 2 weeks notice...

Seems like you must be a partisan for someone else. Romney?
