Yeah, I thought the lame duck excuse was pretty pathetic, too.

On the other hand, I wouldn't stay in and let the socialists bankrupt my family.

The GOP has failed, time and time again, to follow Ann Coulter's Rule No. 3 (How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), p.10):

“You must outrage the enemy. If the liberal you’re arguing with doesn’t become speechless with sputtering, impotent rage, you’re not doing it right. People don’t get angry when lies are told about them; they get angry when the truth is told about them. If you are not being called outrageous by liberals, you’re not being outrageous enough. Start with the maximum assertion about liberals and then push the envelope, because, as we know, their evil is incalculable.”

You have the same take on that piece (of shovel ready) as I did. If one wants to be nice, one could say it was a piece of over analysis. Get some dirt on it quick, it stinks!

Sarah is going to use some Alaska strong whup ass on the Obamanitwits and their court of mind numbed robot yes men.

Wait until Sarah shows up at a few Tea Parties. Instead of 1000 people at them, we will see crowds that will make TOTUS toast and the state run media in babble land.

"Dear Sarah, why don’t you practice?"

Because no one is writing great speeches for her to practice? :)

Give us all the name of this great new leader. Heck, it can be a lesbian hispanic black female midget single mother. As long as they are well spoken and will advance the conservative platform that you have so eloquently outlined for every ones edification. I can not find it right now, yet I am certain that you will post it in bold text in your reply.

Sorry, but running away never solves a problem coming from the left.

My pick is: “There is no balm in Gilead”. The American people are beyond having the freedom to pick.

...Are you concerned he might up and quit in the middle of his 1st term as President?

LOL! Only because I can't fathom a President Biden!

Look, it just doesn't make any real sense for her to quit in the middle of her first term. It gives her enemies yet another stone to throw at her. Reagan served two terms as Governor and then hit the "rubber chicken"/GE factory tour circuit. He published thoughtful op-eds and gave substantive speeches after he left office.

Try Doctor Zero’s analysis at Hot Air....pretty much a 180 from Ed Morrissey’s article.

Interesting I just was listenning to Mark Levin, who has been around a while and has pretty good conservatie political street cred, and he thinks Palin’s resignation was actaully a pretty good idea—she can spend more time in lower 48 with fundraising, networking with folks who actualy could help her in a 2012 run. She could not do that if she continues on as Governor.

Regarding Lame Duck, Why is it no one said anything about Obama only serving one year of his 6 year term (he was not there more than 141 days and pretty much voted present on most bills when he was). Actually, I appreciate Sarah being direct and leaving office if she did not feel she was effective doing the job==unlike the occupant who campaigned on the state of IL’s expense.

Especially when the problem is a bunch of lowlife, Chicago scumbag thugs bent on the total destruction of anyone who does not kneel and kiss their feet.

All I asked was whether she could be counted on to finish out her first term as President. I think it’s a fair question. If you have so much personal baggage that you can’t handle being governor, how will you handle being POTUS?

“She’ll make millions on a speaking tour.”

Thank you for this, and you can bet your sweet bippy that when you said “she will make millions”, you of course mean money and converts to the Conservative Cause.

Mahalo and lets all get out there tomorrow for a great 4th of July Tea Party.

The going got tough in terms of spurious ethics charges against her, and she took off. That’s cowardly. That’s not sign of staying power.

Not true. There were 15 cases charged against her and she fought them all and won all of them.

Governor C.L. Otter. With a running mate of either Huck or Romney. How do you like me now?

Pretty one-dimensional thinking from Mr. Morrissey. Palin is moving her fight to guerrilla tactics, away from conventional warfare.
