Aria, then what business will she have running to be President? I mean that’s the real kicker here. You’re trying to make the case this was a sound reasoned move. Okay, what happens when she runs in 2012? Do you think that race will be clean? She’ll be right back where she is now, and the media will be playing the same tricks. Hey it worked!
So then what? Please tell me, because I’d love to know how she avoids melting down again?
You’re assuming she’s going to run...maybe she won’t. From what I know she got her most important agenda set up - the gas pipeline or whatever it is...something I understand had been in the works for 30 or so years and she got it done. However, the stupid ethics complaints weren’t going to stop and they were costing Alaska $ not to mention the Palin family. She has now circumvented this. I don’t see this as a melt-down at all.
If she wants to run for POTUS she can spend the next years becoming more of a policy wonk and build her support without the weight of inevitable ethics complaints about her non-Alaska activities. These dirty ethics complaints diverted too much attention away from her duties. What a rotten strategy...I hope the country sees it for what it is.
I have thought for a while that when the attacks on her kids got so nasty that I wouldn’t blame her for giving up this blood sport. Life is too short.
