John Ziegler, who produced a documentary on the horrendously unfair media coverage given to now-departing Governor Sarah Palin, talks with Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton about Palin’s decision to resign. John has the closest vantage point of anyone in the media, and has spent the most time with Palin. He explains that the move isn’t about 2012 at all, or really even any future run at elective office. John argues that Palin is playing long ball. Click on the image to listen:

I listened to this earlier it is a pretty good interview.
People who are talking don’t know. People who know aren’t talking.
All the folks who claim to know exactly what Palin is doing and why, failed to predict that she would resign as governor. They are doing nothing but guessing.
if you listen to the last 3 or 4 minutes of that interview and connect the dots.
Good point. Pundits are like coroners--they know everything, just a bit too late.
Ziegler is on O’Reilly right now.
On O’Reilly right now bump.
And he is GREAT.
Yes, he is. O’Reilly is his usual pompous self.
Yes. And Ziegler “gets” Sarah. You either do or you don’t. :-)
Bill thinks that Sarah “owes” him an explanation for why she resigned. They just don’t want to accept the reason she gave - is the reason!
I’m loving watching the media’s heads exploding over Sarah!
Wow, that's great. Did you come up with that yourself, or has someone else said it first? It would make a good tag line.
LOL, alice. Every word you said. ;-)
After thinking about what she said in her resignation speech and what she and her family have had to deal with and endure since she accepted McCain's offer and, more importantly, since the election has been long since over and she is simply a Governor again, I realized that there is no way I can understand what she and her family are going through, her strength and the strength of her family. Everything that they've experienced since the election is a gratuitous piling on by her enemies and it could not be more wrong, nor would it happen to anyone else.
For the sake of her family and for the well being of her state, she had to do something: she resigned. Since the state is supposedly in good hands with the Lt. Governor, it's not like she is being irresponsible and abandoning her post without warning and without a competent successor.
In short, I think my initial reaction was mistaken and born of my own personal reasons, but not on what is right. We need more like Sarah Palin in all walks of life, but especially those who represent us in government and our faith in them to do the right things for the right reasons.
I agree with him. This makes sense to me. Or she may go to work for some company that deals with Alaskan issues. I don't see her going after an elected office again.
