I think you’re right. I think she is running.
If so, count me in!
Look out for the Romneybots smearing every thread on this.
The personal attacks and the ethics complaints were consuming 80% of her and her staff’s time.
She was already determined not to run again in 2010.
But according to her statement, she sees a greater need, both for Alaska and for the country, to speak out on important issues.
She told Alaskans she will not be a lame duck, doing the travel thing on the state’s dime. She went through a list of all of her accomplishments. She said she and her husband are fishermen, and only dead fish go with the flow.
She will not go with the easy way out.
She is resigning and putting the state in capable hands.
But she is still going to fight.
She is going all in, with no distractions.
Her demeanor was not one of defeat, or resignation, but positive, and of of sureness of her purpose.
Her critics may have won a battle, but she is going to war, in my opinion. She will not be silent, and she will be free to speak her mind.
AND SHE SAID IT ALL WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!
The political landscape shifted this afternnoon, in ways we will not know clearly for awhile.
Sarah has a rendevous with destiny.
And I cast my lot with her.
I'll be signing up to help with her campaign...
Hmm, I wonder. It’s unusual for someone to just up and quit an important political job. Perhaps she is tired of having her children attacked all the time. I know I would be.
I liked SP until she made such a poor showing in that Katie Couric interview. Honestly, I don’t know how she got hung up on such easy questions. Then, of course, the media attacked like rabid dogs, and I believe they accomplished their task of making her look dumb. I am not saying she is dumb, but she has been “Quayled”, or as another Freeper pointed out to me, “Forded”. At any rate, I don’t think she can recover from that. The lamestream media will see to it.
No, I’m not a Romdneybot. I can’t stand him. Big hypocrite -coming out against Obamacare when it is the same as Romneycare, and by any name, it stinks.
I think she is ready to bring on the heat and wants to keep Alaska out of the field of fire.
The national polls show a tentative swing back to conservatism and the leadership role is empty. This is the perfect time for someone like her to step into that position.
I agree! She will be free to move around the country, good move, imo.
Interesting, very interesting.
