WASILLA, Alaska -- Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska's governor because the volume of state investigations and public-record requests scrutinizing her activities kept her from doing what she wanted, said one of her closest confidantes.
Kristan Cole, who has been friends with Gov. Palin since both were in the same elementary school nearly 40 years ago, said she heard personally from the governor over the Fourth of July weekend. She was one of the few to speak with Gov. Palin, who stunned the political world when she announced Friday she was resigning, effective July 26. The governor gave no specific reason for her exit, beyond citing relentless complaints into her affairs that were hampering her ability to do her job.

You mean the reasons she gave for resigning are the reasons she is resigning? Who woulda thunk it.
From the article:
“Here’s the bottom line: She has a ton of support, but she felt behind a desk her resources were being wasted,” said Ms. Cole, who runs a real-estate business. “She thinks she can get things done more efficiently this way.”
*************************************************************
Sarah’s gonna travel around the country and she’s gonna build up support for a 2012 presidential run! SHE IS GONNA WIN IN 2012!!!!!!! YEAH, BABY!!!!!!!!
I am so excited! I’ve been donating to SARAHPAC and I’m gonna join her 2012 campaign, once it gets going!
Even if she doesn’t run, she can head a very powerful PAC to help the conservative cause and candidates.
Good for her for putting Alaska first.
there is such an absolute vaccuum out there waiting to be filled by a voice that will take on Obama, she’ll be fine.
In other words, Palin has proved that she is susceptible to the Cloward-Piven strategy.
I read today that her Pac has received new HUGE donations..Kristen Cole is awesome. I have talked to her online before and also follow her on twitter, she is a great person. I can’t wait to hopefully meet Sarah when she comes to the lower 48, it will be a dream come true for me
When it comes to lookin' out for the folks, Sarah makes Bill O look like a complete slacker.
No.
Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another’s speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts.
Why do you say no?
Palin resigned because she was overwhelmed by investigations and public-records requests.
That is the Cloward-Piven strategy, and she cracked under it.
No, Palin was smart enough not to sit there as a sitting lame-duck victim of the strategy!
They drove her out of office. They won.
She let Cloward-Piven take her out.
She buckled under their pressure.
Theres plenty of time before a campaign can start.
Hell no.
The benefits of her now being unleashed far outweigh any downside. If she "cracked and caved" she'd withdraw entirely from public life and put her politics to rest. That's not what's happening.
You mistake a tactical maneuver with a retreat.
Get lost, troll.
In other words, she pitched a temper tantrum?
Alright, if you want to look at it that way.
