Alaska is beautiful, but it is not one of the most important states in the US. Sorry. I like it, like the people and the way of life, but for all the acreage, it’s not a powerhouse economically (bottom 10% GDP) or politically (3 electoral votes).

Sarah Palin sounded just like us! We, the people, understood every single word she said. This is the reason she is wildly popular in the first place. She IS one of us!

Yup.

I guess that if I could stand to deal with them, I could be a Media Consultant to the bobbleheads in the MSM and explain common sense to them.

“We’ll get to the speech itself in due time, but suffice it to say, that for normal Americans, those who this speech was aimed at, this was a call to action. “

Absolutely! We all know what she was saying and we all said “Yes Maam!”

“call to action” indeed.

I understand her reasons for stepping down, but not if she has presidential ambitions. One of her main selling points was her experience as Governor of Alaska. By leaving so early, one could say that she wasn’t getting much experience out of this position after all. If running the State was so important to Palin the candidate, then she should have stuck with it.

Only one I’ve read so far that really gets her and what it means.

I believe the liberals and other assorted hacks are once again mis-underestimating this lady. She is genuine, patriotic, and charismatic.

Her resignation from the Governor position is a calculated risk. Right now there is a huge leadership vacuum in the GOP, with only token, diminutive opposition to some of the big ticket items. This lack of opposition was clearly exemplified when Dick Cheney had to come out of retirement to successfully speak out about national security. I believe Sarah touched briefly on this lack of voice in a recent interview with Hannity.

I believe Sarah is trying to be part of this voice of opposition. It requires someone of a high political stature who can get through all the political noise to reach the ears of the people. When Sarah speaks a whole lot of people listen- even those who discredit her.

Don't know if this will lead to winning the Presidency. It will definitely help her to be closer to people in the lower 48, to get around a lot of the disinformation. I am reminded of when she said that if they expect her to sit down and shut up, they are mistaken.

She was last seen meeting behind closed doors with someone named John Galt...
