No talking points here...merely logic. Many of you twist yourself in knots to figure out how this is some grand scheme of Sarah’s to put her into the White House. I don’t see it that way. No sitting governor who quits to pursue higher office will be viewed as a serious presidential candidate. She made a promise to the people of Alaska and should not break it merely to run for the presidency. I don’t know why she did it. The rumors are out there...of course people lie all the time especially about Gov. Palin so we should wait and see.

If you heard her speech and read her statements at facebook and her office site,

you would know that she repeatedly said that she will continue the political fight for America and is not going away. She also gives her reasons why she no longer sees a reason to serve out her term.

Of course if you prefer the imaginative interpretations... do as you please.

"No sitting governor who quits to pursue higher office will be viewed as a serious presidential candidate."

I've seen this sentiment posted repeatedly over the weekend and I am no closer to understanding the mental blockage many freepers seem to possess. You need look no further than our current TOTUS to understand that the 'qualifications' necessary to be 'viewed as a serious presidential candidate' (assuming that eventually she decides to run) are only bound by our own individual prejudices and preconceived notions.

If Mrs. Palin does decide to run for President, I see no person on the right at this time who would have any chance to best her for the nomination.

I think she will be active in causes she deeply cares about. I also believe she has given up her political ambitions for the sake of her family. The horrid and unethical treatment of her children by the MSM as well as by bloggers on the left made it impossible for any mother who loved her children to remain in the national spotlight.
