On all three counts.

It isn't like this is anything new. This is what they've been up to for a long time. Sarah got rougher treatment that the ones who preceded her like George Allen and Rick Santorum, but she was a much bigger star than they were. By 2012, there will be NO credible conservative left standing. They aren't spending all the $ that Soros et.al. can provide them without getting the desired Alinsky results of total destruction of their opponents.
She is a fighter. She is welcome in my fighting position anytime.

Think before posting her obituary.
IMO, in some way the choice was presented to her by someone (I have no idea who or what the way was) - "Either your political career or your family will be destroyed; you choose!"
Sarah rightly chose to protect her family.
Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show the wonder of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who assail me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.”
I would rather be in her shoes, than zeros shoes!!
Where do you people come up with this drivel? God's grace is eternal, just as He is.
I want to try to stay positive about this but at the moment I think it’s more of a mistake than a victory.
To think the press won’t be on her can from now until 2012 about any and everything if she resigns is naive. They would be if she was or wasn’t in office. Might as well govern and get things done and keep the executive experience going. Barack’s going to have 4 years under his belt by then. MSM will be beefing him up and ripping her for not being in an executive governing role for 3 1/2 years.
She’ll be the one that ‘needs experience’.
Plus the press will not give her anything. They don’t love her the way they did Barack, every little misstep and stumble will be magnified, all of Barack’s will be hidden.
She might be able to campaign for 3 1/2 years getting funding and such but that’s a long time and people will get tired of her, MSM will probably stop covering her, Barack can stay in campaign mode for 3 1/2 years as well (he still is if youhaven’t noticed) and the MSM loves him and hates her. Guess who wins this one?
I right now don’t see much good in her decision. I can hope it is right.
Actually, you are 100% wrong.
Palin made a brilliant move.
First, she wants Alaska to remain under a republican conservative governor. Her move gives the Lt. Gobernor 1-1/2 years to prove himself and that will give him a big head start on the dim candidate.
Second, she can now travel as much as she wants and to any place in the world and not be accused, as she has been by the dims, of neglecting her duties in Alaska.
She is now free of pouring over thousands of pages of stimulus rules and regs and can instead spend that time studying foreign affairs and meeting with overseas governments.
No, she is not finished. She is proving that she is smart.
Those who criticize her should perhaps compare their records against hers.

She resigned on the eve of Independence Day. Perhaps there's a message there. Perhaps not. We'll see.
The proper word is "poring". And if a resigned governor of any state is "meeting with overseas governments", they are acting in the capacity of a foreign interest. But I guess that is OK, as long as it is an Arab nation. Y'all have been duped.
Sarah is running for President.
I can see it in her eyes.
God bless her, and God bless America!

On all three counts.
Knock it off with the foul mouth or suffer the consequences.
Everything today seems bizarre.
“The proper word is “poring”. And if a resigned governor of any state is “meeting with overseas governments”, they are acting in the capacity of a foreign interest. But I guess that is OK, as long as it is an Arab nation. Y’all have been duped.”
Aprivate citizen can meet with and talk with anyone with whom they choose.
I stand corrected on the “pore vis. pour”.
I must say however, that I wish your political knowledge was as well developed as is your familiarity with the dictionary.
After serving TWO FULL TERMS.
Ronald Reagan at least held his end of the bargain with the people of California.
Gov. Palin just up and left.
And yes, her political career is over.
Right now she is a failed VP candidate and soon to be former governor of Alaska, and the smear campaign keeps going. Imagine if she really did try a new run at the White House?
