Maureen Dowd: “But just remember, beloved Alaska, it’s all about you.”
David Kurtz: “Quitters stick to it. Winners quit.”
Philip Elliott: “It’s not obvious that going back into the locker room is her best play.”
Nick Sabloff: “Why did Sarah Palin decide to ‘abandon the state’?”
DNC: “…her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her…”
When John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his running mate last year, the liberal media was quick to point out her green record–and I don’t mean environment. To those at The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, and their accomplices elsewhere, Palin was inexperienced and much too folksy to be a national candidate.
Noted political analyst Matt Damon compared her to a Disney mom.
Despite their criticisms, Palin won the hearts of the conservative base of the G.O.P., packing arenas in much the same way as the media’s candidate, Barack Obama, was widely reported as doing. Palin’s rallies were dismissed as “rock star” popularity events, while the much-less-experienced Obama was hailed as the Second Coming.
Palin’s popularity was likely the reason for the rift between her and her running mate, and was undoubtedly the reason her appearances were culled as the campaign neared its climax. Liberals in both parties attempted to link McCain’s loss with Palin, when in actuality his defeat would have been much more substantial had he chosen Tom Ridge or Joseph Lieberman, reportedly his first two choices.
Now the governor has decided that a year of character assassination by the media has been enough, and she will step down, finally giving liberals a reason to celebrate on July 4, since freedom is not something for which they would typically party.

Good one; don’t be shy. Keep postin’.
Thanks for the nod :) I aim to post as long as I’m Constitutionally protected to do so.
I don’t think they have any problems looking in the mirror. In my experience with broadcast journalists, it’s what they do most.
And also check out the video of Palin’s joke directed at John Kerry that’s floating around.
After reading through the Repubs’ reactions to the Palin resignation, I think I’ll have to put together a whole ‘nother article to address them. Pathetic, in more cases...
