I was struck by how many Palin fans agreed with me that resigning the governorship, while understandable, is a serious misstep for any aspiring president.

That may have been true some time in the past, but the Obama election and presidency has overturned all such rules.

If a person with...

• ZERO experience,

• no proof of being a natural born citizen,

• an unwillingness to even release college transcripts,

• radical connections, and

• overarching muslim sensitivities if not outright professional of faith

can become president AND THEN PROCEED to destroy the country, resigning the governorship of Alaska will have ZERO negative implications for Sarah.

That may have been true some time in the past, but the Obama election and presidency has overturned all such rules.

That implies voters can look at an issue with clear eyes, beyond the notion of "change." On Nov 2, much of 0bama's agenda was rejected, not his background. Why does this matter? The media gives 0bama a pass on the background issue. Were he a GOPer in 2008, they would've shredded him from coast to coast. That's what Sarah will face if she throws in for 2012.

Most of us understand and appreciate the reasons for Sarah's quitting the governorship of Alaska. The financial toll from defending against those frivolous "ethics complaints" took a huge toll on the Palins. Of course it wasn't that Sarah is a quitter... we as conservatives understand... but the overall electorate isn't as thoughtful, especially when prodded in a particular direction by a leftist media.

If Sarah does run in 2012, she will have to address that issue... and it'll be a tough sell.

I think the world of Sarah Palin and will support her if she's the nominee, but I'd rather see her opt for RNC Chair or something in which she can better leverage her strengths.
