Sarah Palin is the biggest political star in the nation. Need proof , just look at the events this weekend. There is not a single political or news person or outlet that is not talking about what the Governor did yesterday. The funniest thing is , everyone is trying to guess why she resigned even though she clearly stated why. She can no longer govern Alaska because she spends everyday of her time and all kinds of money fighting false ethic charges. She has become a lightning rod for the media and the people of Alaska are better off with a Governor who can govern. Does not make sense to the eastern establishment but people who have to live in this sorry state those in the establishement have created in this country , understand. Don't give credit to the other Governor's for staying the course. No other Governor , not Pawlenty or Daniels or even Barbour have to put up with the daily distraction of media attacks and false ethic charges. They can Govern. As she said , she passed the ball so Alaska can get back to normal. She has not quit , according to all those close to her , she plans to carry the fight on into the 2010 congressional races. Anyone is sadly mistaken if they say the "quitter" is finished in Presidential politics. Not even Dear Leader , the chosen one , Barry Soetoro AKA Obama can muster even close to the kind of coverage Palin is getting right now. Sure , the media is his lover but Palin is getting the volume. And just wait until the book and the book tour to follow and the crazy crowds she will gather on the road for the 2010 congressional elections and the buzz from the canidates she will help elect. Remember the runoff in Ga last fall. The republican was supposed to lose but he won. Every republican President wannabe campaigned for him. He said Palin was the one who put him over the top. As President Barry Soetoro AKA Obama continues to run the country off the cliff , do you really want to turn to Romney. Do you trust him? How about Huck. Do you want to try your luck with Gingrich. I don't know about you but I don't see Gov Barbour as our nominee. I don't see Timmy boy from Minnasota taking on Dear Leader , he reminds me to much of John Edwards the Breck girl. Besides , if you had told me 4 years ago a black guy with big muslim ties with no accomplishments would turn a speech into a succesful run for the Presidency , before his first Senate term was up , I would have laughed myself to death. Point is , in politics anything is possible. A day is forever. Next month noone is going to care Sarah Palin resigned as Governor but she will still be a star and the media will still be following her and we will still be talking about her. Maybe she will run for President , maybe she won't. But if she wants to run , I bet she will be a force.
You got that right. She tells everyone why she is doing it, and then the talking heads get together to figure out why she is doing it. As dumb as when they figured out planes have co-pilots a few weeks back.
parsy, who thinks some people just need to talk all the time.
Governor Palin definitely got the attention of EVERYONE on this holiday weekend.
THAT is the reason. And her latest statements at Facebook make clear that she is aspiring to be part of a grassroots campaign to recapture America from the socialist yoke.
"Palin Refuses to Throw Pearls to Swine"
Agreed. The liberals “thrill” up their leg over her exit may turn into a snakebite after she facilitates the conservative takeover of both congressional houses in 2010. Afterwards, she will have alot of congressional supporters to propel her into the White House in 2012.
I think Mrs. Palin has seriously damaged her chances at the Presidency with this move, but she can still do a lot of good for her country by throwing her support behind good candidates.

The False Messiah made his “Audacity of Hope” speech at the 2004 DNC Convention. He wasn’t elected even Senator yet!

In swoops Mittens who loves the thrill of having his ring finger kissed.
You are correct. Besides being free to fight back and carry the conservative torch, I think she is on a mission to prove that you don’t need the filter of the almighty DBM to reach the people.
For next time ..
Paragraphs make a huge difference.
Many eyes can’t handle the bulk
of all the text.
Wish I could read it.
I understand exactly why she did it and why she announced when she did. Friday afternoon of a three day holiday? Well she had absolutely no competition from the continuous TV infomercial that is the Obambi Administration. No Pelosi. No Reid. Just confused talking heads! She liberated herself on July 4th weekend!
Thank you.
