“All in” was the term I used on Friday,
thank you very much.
Also, “stepping out in faith” is applicable.

Go Sarah, no matter what your objectives are. We need a a lot more like her to run for the Congress.....
Except sometimes they do.
And interestingly, I just added a tagline to my posts for the first time ever, just about 10 minutes and two posts ago.
Great points made in the article about what [earthly part of] the struggle is about - elites vs individualists.
The leftist/statist elite, whether it is a conscious thought or not, are wanting a feudalist system in which they are the property owning nobility and everyone else lives or dies at their pleasure.
Sarah has made a brilliant move. Guess what everyone was talking about at the Teaparty that I went to on the Fourth?
The economy, unemployment, and Sarah!
And yeah, if she stays in, she will have a BALL ridiculing uhbama's picks, his appointees as it were. Ya have to be really stupid to make the picks this man has. I mean seriously stupid or totally depraved. One of the two, for sure.
I personally believe she had no choice. As governor, her salary is $125,000. The unending frivolous “ethics” complaints” have cost her in excess of $500,000. These complaints were not going to end. Basically, it was costing her to be governor far more than she was making. Would you stay in a position like that? I know I wouldn’t. She did not inherit millions of dollars like Mitt Romney (who, by the way, will never be president) and is not wealthy. She is the main breadwinner for her family, a very large family with a special needs child.
I think Sarah’s motive is to influence American politics, to play on the largest stage she can, to be a force for good, to use her energy, talents and “wiring” to the fullest extent, and if that leads to a high office then so be it.
The media attacks on never have and never will affect her goals.
And now she's free to do it with zeal !!!
And yet, the Welfare State persists...
You and this writer are both dead-on. It’s all about Elitism, regardless of political stripe. One of the best pieces I have read.
” make the money she needs to pay legal bills for 15 unwarranted “ethics” investigations, all of which she handily won. The legal bills remain. “
I don’t get this.
Why can she not go after these people and sue to recover the expenses they put her through?
They filed the complaints simply to cause her to incur legal expenses; she should have recourse against them.
If there were recourse for frivolous lawsuits,
there would be less frivolous lawsuits,
and lawyers wouldn’t profit from them.
Lawyers make the tort laws.
God Bless her.
