Palin: "I promised even four years ago to show MY independence… no more conventional “politics as usual”."
Palin: "I am not wired to operate under the same old 'politics as usual.' "
Palin: "“Don’t explain: your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.”"

America is desperate for change. If she plays this right, a lot of us will get behind her.
Time will tell. But never say never. I hope she succeeds in changing the way Americans surrender their liberty to politicians and government toadies.
Either way, she is a class act in my opinion, and I wouldn't blame her for walking away from the evil that is American politics. Her family is more important.
Just my opinion.
Go troll. You are an embarrassment.
Excellent post, syriacus.
I remember M.O. stating in an interview that B.O. would never run for president in 2008 because “he hadn’t done anything yet.”
Whatever she decides, she will be a forceful advocate in fighting the good fight!
Ed, I think, knows better.
That’s right, and if the left thinks they can breathe a sigh of relief, are they ever wrong. She will not go away. Causing her to pay big bucks to defend herself against bogus charges to get rid of her is going to backfire on the left - BIG TIME!
I'm sure she never expected the kind of attacks she has taken since she became a VP candidate last August. She has faced far more vitriol than your average politician ever has to deal with. I'm not sure I agree with her resigning at this time, but I can't say that I blame her all that much.
God be with Sarah as she fights for America and us.
The pundits are like old “Cold War” reporters. Everything has be a certain way to get elected. Obama proved this wrong by winning a senate seat in 2006 then immediately start campaigning for POTUS. Yet I hear nothing from them about this (gee, wonder why).
It was either “Sh*t or get off the pot” for Palin. Either stay and get dragged under by the drumbeat of bogus ethics complaints , get ignored by the MSM (unless it something negative) or break off and truely committ to the campaign.
Wasn’t it the experts who said Palin needed to “make the rounds”, “kiss the ring figers”, “hit the speaking circuits”, and so on and so forth???? I find it tall order considering the distances involved and the never ending war from the ankle biters (and MSM factions).
She has crossed the Rubicon and the old guard can only come up with tired cliches.
Why am I not at all surprised that the little wussy boys at National Review seem a little giddy at Sarah’s stepping down? They never liked her anyway. She has what they don’t: a spine.
Also, raising money is probably a bit easier for a U.S. President than an Alaskan Governor. The Clintons became very wealthy in office. What they could weather financially in Washington would have crushed them back in Arkansas.
2) If Sarah Palin had that great a support, where are the people who would have help her with her legal fees the same way the Clintons had their help ?
Clinton was president of the USA. Palin was governor of Alaska. Big difference.
Clinton had all the money he could steal. Palin is honest. A bigger difference.
Talk about being misunderestimated!
Sarah is who I’m voting for in 2012. You say: she might not be the GOP nominee in 2012. As I said, Sarah is who I’m voting for in 2012!!! Also sending her money.
