[Irish Eyes]

Let me know what you think. I am sharing this particular piece only with my colleagues at FreeRepublic, wather than sending it out thither and yon.

John / Billybob

Excellent, go ahead share it with everyone.

[Mr. Silverback]

They can stay in my spare room, too...or camp in the big backyard if they prefer. Oh, and my 14 year old son would really like to meet Willow.

Is that the AUG 8th engagement?

[Kansas58]

I might need your help, on another thread!

There are some Palin bashers there who attack Palin, and then attack anyone who attacks anyone who attacks Palin.

[hoosiermama]

I thought of that too.I have a log cabin she’s welcome to....complete with inside toilet....She could stay with Frepers coast to coast...

Though not as elegantly written as your article this is what I’ve been posting all weekend.
___________________________________________

She already accomplished her goals as GOV

Resigning enabler her to:
FInish the book and get it to the printers sooner (according to FOX seven figure advance)
(there been a rumor to a seond book for the liberal...a picture book)
Go on the Book tour(s)
GO on the talk shows.

Do the hundreds of speaking for pay engagments she’s had to turn down (She makes less than 100,000 as gov.)

Campaign for other running for congress...Get the GOP elected.

Basically she’s following the step Charle Krauthammer listed for her.

1. She’s gotten rid of the governorship, it had become a stone around her neck holding her back.

2. Decide of a few topic to emphasis....That was done in the last paragraph of her Independence Day greeting today.

less government intervention,
greater energy independence,
stronger national security, and
much-needed fiscal restraint

3. Get down to the lower 48.
First event scheduled in CA Aug 8th.

This is spot on. I would never in my wildest dreams imagine that Sarah Palin would teach her daughters by example to cry uncle when a bully has his foot on your throat.

Women learn that the direct approach is not always the most effective one in situations like this. I would not be shocked to learn that she is laying land mines for her tormentors in her grand scheme.

[hoosiermama]

You betcha

[potlatch]

Yeah, I guess we just haven’t seen pictures of it, lol.

[Lancey Howard]

Excellent analysis. Thanks for posting your thoughts here.

Palin was tethered to Alaska and getting bombarded with expensive, frivolous “ethics” complaints and now she is FREE to raise a gajillion dollars from mainland coast to mainland coast. By resigning now, the new guy (reportedly a conservative Republican) will get a tremendous leg up (as the incumbent) on getting elected to a full term in the next gubernatorial election.

But my favorite part is the handwringing tizzy the scumbags are in thanks to her announcement:

“Oh my! What did Sarah do? Where will Sarah go? What will Sarah do next? Oh my!”

I think it is an interesting analysis. I also think the Republican Uriah Heeps are going to slink about to put it down.
Some of the soft martial arts are to use the strength of the enemy to defeat him. A strong punch? Step to the side then 'encourage' his momentum to send him flying across the room.

Water is one of the most deceptive of elements. Blocked by stone, it flows around and, over time, wears it down.

One thing is for sure!

When Sarah does speak, the world will be listening!

Including all those little ankle biters in State-Media.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is a 3 1/2 hour flight just to Seattle and only a 1 hour time change. It is a 4 hour difference to the east coast.

I see my favorite map. d:o)

[TexasCajun]

Great Visual!

Sarah is too stupid to be POTUS but Alaska can't do without her superior governing skills.

[LS]

At first this seemed pretty insightful. But where do you see that the Palins are moving to the lower 48? Quite the contrary, they seem to love Alaska. Thus, merely going out of office doesn’t do one thing to change those distances, it only privatizes the expense of traveling.

[Balding_Eagle]

"My fellow Americans, I come before you today not as a Republican, not as a Democrat, but as an American who is deeply, deeply concerned about the wrong directions this nation is taking

(Here is where I think you went off path)

because of failures by politicians in both of those ancient political parties...."

I think she is too much a diplomat to start such a unecessary fight. Plus it wouldn't help her cause.

[new cruelty]

Sound thinking. Time and Sarah will tell.

[balls]

That fits exactly what she outlined in her speech. My biggest concern is that she has no idea on how to handle media cross examination. She doesn’t allow herself any think-time and takes the bait then falls into the trap. Since the MSM and DNC are one and the same, she needs serious tutoring in media control.

(I have plenty of space for her here in the Boston area.)
