Al, thanks for the ping. This is a great article that perfectly expresses why we love SP. And SP herself has expressed it better than I can...."she has a servant's heart" That is what we want, that is what we need, and that is what we will demand in 2012.

I have been battling close relatives all week who are talking crap about her "quitting", being "unstable", and all the rest of the garbage.

My final argument to these fools is that she can be trusted with power. And this article is as good as any in showing that......she walked away from power and perks for the higher good

My only problem the last few days has been no patience with anyone who doesn't see it my way with SP.....I guess I'm getting old and cranky...it's going to be a long 3 yrs!

Hang in there FRiend. I’ve got a lib sister so I can identify. Can’t stop loving her, can’t lock her in a padded room or anything, so we just pray for her...LOL. She’s deaf to any rational discussion of politics.

Thanks for saying that, I've been feeling the same way. Look at the fools who cling to every powerful position they can backstab their way up to (nearly every pol in DC, and most in state govt). On the other hand here is someone who can walk away from a powerful position. I don't see that as being a quitter (unlike most of the talking heads), I see that as someone who has principles. The fact that all of the establishment (D and R) is against this move tells me that it was the correct decision. I suspect many of our founding fathers would agree. See the 3rd Principle in The 5000 Year Leap.
