No way to tell if this is a real window onto her mind or just spin to salve the wound of a tough day, but the Palinistas deserve some hope.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin plans to remain extremely visible and will give serious consideration to running for president in 2012, but has made no decision, a close friend said after her startling announcement Friday that she will resign her office
Those friends say she plans to give a series of paid speeches, and will also make free GOP appearances, raising money for the party and for issues. She also plans to help other candidates, collecting political IOUs for herself
Friends said Palin brushes off hostile news coverage but feels that the ethics complaints in Alaska accompanied by attacks in the legislature, and the relentless pounding she was taking at home were taking a toll on her family and her state. So she believes the decision was selfless, the friends said.
But:
She has never been able to deliver a succinct message and this one was all over the place when this really needed to be one of her best performances, a Republican congressional official said.

Dang, my keyboard skills leave a lot to be desired.
They are to damn stupid to know when to quit.
Don’t be taken in by the propaganda by the MSM. They are wishful thinking on her demise and premature political death.
Any real negative news would have already been sent to the airwaves.
She is going to start building a national organization now and campaigning for 2010 HOuse races. She’s smarter than the Leftists give her credit for.
Only DEAD fish go with the flow! Sarah said so today. Get it?
Seriously the talk here in Wasilla is that she may revive the Alaska Independent party, there is nothing OUTSIDE Alaska that would be of any use to her.
I think she had to resign now if she wants to campaign for Republican candidates in the 2010 mid-terms. She needs to do this and actively raise money for SarahPAC in order to rack up political IOUs she will need in 2012. Just my opinion.
Ooops to late looks like you already cornered the market on that!
"They are to too damn stupid to know when to quit."
Fixed stupidity.
I made a typo, but at least I am not a lefto ;-)
You’re embarrassing yourself.
Nah, only way I could embarrass myself is if I go all moon eyed over a politician.
It takes a minimum 2 and 1/2 years before the vote to get your Presidential organization in place and to get your ducks in a row. By having to serve to Dec 2010, Sarah would have wasted too much time and would be too far behind Romney and Huckabee and even more important Obama.
With this move she levels the playing field.
This move had to be made. Believe me!
