She's a political entrepreneur, Jeanette. It's just as big a deal to her as to you.

If she can play a role in moving Consitutional Conservatives into governor mansions, Congress, and the White House, along with coordinating pressure to bear on Supreme Court picks, she will play a role that perhaps is new, and sorely needed for our times. We need a revamping of government along Constitutional lines.

Mightn't we consider that as citizens working together, and Sarah Palin as Citizen Ambassador with the biggest megaphone, she can exert influence in ways we haven't seen in our times?

Remember the genesis of the Tea Party? Not a party at all, just a group of patriotic Americans banding together for the good of the Nation. Perhaps this has been pointing to what Sarah Palin is attempting to turn into a clear, powerful, singular voice of patriotic Americans. We can be a massive force for good, and we will shine the light on all politicians who begin the slip back into crony self-serving career politics. We need a national watchdog group.

To me, her decision says: the steering of the Ship of State is in the hands of the citizens. We are not Europeans who will sit back and let the State care for us droogies. No! We will turn government back to popular, Constitutional will.

Jeanette, the wounds of the Palin wounded are too fresh to ask questions in detail, but yes, speaking of sacrifices, it was not rocket science to wonder some time ago about God, and the “family first” reason back in the beginning. There was no lenthy indecision, nor check to the spirit back then keeping Sarah from so quickly joining the McCain ticket, (like over night) where within 24 hours she consents to clearly being used outright as a token to his ticket to bolster him with the women’s vote and as a pawn to cover his RINO bona fidis as a liberal Republican. Before McCain came along, she had written eloquently of her conversation with God concerning her new infant son suffering with Downes Syndrome. Sarah had a husband, one adolescent daughter, Piper, and a pregnant teenager, Bristol, both in the home, and a son headed to Iraq. Nevermind the still new tenure as governor of Alaska, and her but pedestrian grasp of world history, politics and events. What could go wrong, right?

Sarah and her family have paid a price for that decision, and she is wiser. Why would it take anyone two and a half years to consider God and check with the family about making a run for the presidency? There was evidently no time given to consideration for serious and sorely needed due diligence about running a nation, or overcoming her but pedestrian knowledge of the world, global history and politics. No actual interest in job preparation anywhere in sight. That valuable time was instead poofed off entirely in fun and favor of collecting a small staff to line up and manage celebrity appearances, contracts and a few political pal show howdies and handshakes that bank rolled some nice things for the family. Sarah has been transparent from the beginning that she would not run. All those supposed signs were never there. Not even remotely.
