A. She accomplished so much already during her term that she is comfortable with the record. People from Alaska say the same thing, she got a lot done.
B. You need to consider that she is bombarded with requests to help causes outside of Alaska. Many people, myself included, would like to see Sarah on a larger stage. A stage where she can encourage other common sense, outside the beltway folks to get into the arena.
C. If you look at it objectively, the Palin resignation is a win for Sarah, a win for the people of Alaska and a win for the rest of the country.
D. She knew she would disappoint some people and apologized to you in her statement.
E. Now that you’ve had a chance to vent, please encourage her to speak out in support of causes we both believe in.
Thanks for your comments. I would encourage you to read my comments on this thread and my comments on this tread:

I think these will give you all the reasons why I ‘vented’ as I have.
I believe there are fundamental problems with her political viability from here on out.
You see, it takes more than the ability to attract people who believe as you do, you have to attract people who don’t believe as you do. And you can’t come off as a quitter, a whiner, a person who can’t take it, for that to be as successful as she is going to need it could be.
I wanted her to be president. The chances of that just went from about 75 percent or better to 25% or better.
To say I’m disappointed in Sarah, doesn’t begin to cover it. I think she damaged her future more than she knows.
If she wants to drum up support for others, I’m all for it. We can use good voices. In addition to that, we need people who can’t be badgered out of office.
I’ve made a number of comments on these two threads that reveal in dept what my concern are.
I appreciate the post. Thank you.
