I wish the "she shouldn't have dropped out of office" crowd would at least CONSIDER the facts. She and Alaska were being brought into approx. a frivolous lawsuit every other day, which HAD to be answered, frivolous or no. Her family (she as gov.) was already in debt to the tune of a million dollars and Alaska was in debt a couple million on these lawsuits. She and her staff were, by design of libs, so involved they could not get on with Alaska's business.

Yes! She quit! If she had held on 2 more years, she and her family would have been drowning in insurmountable debt and nothing further for the good of Alaska would have been accomplished. She would have finished up a lame duck session with no more than a pile of debts and no incumbent Repub to run for the govship

Instead of 'She quit!", look at "She accomplished"--raking out a corrupt good old boy network like the DC crowd (of her own party no less). imposing cuts to balance the budget, starting with the gov's jet, limousine and chef; compelled Exxon to start paying Alaska what it was supposed to pay and gave part of it to the people of Alaska per a check to every family; negotiated a pipeline with Canada the good old boys had been trying to get for 30 years.

Palin is not an establishment, status quo politician--she is an innovator and is about getting the job done. God knows we need one of those in Washington.

Those who keep saying they like her, but she doesn't use good speech, she doesn't have the experience, she is just not ready for the WH--need to get a grip. They are buying the media mantra!

The present occupant of the WH did not complete anything, EVER! He was a mostly absentee state Rep who usually voted present, a less than 2 year Senator during which time he mostly ran for President. He hasn't half the experience or knowledge of Palin, and he operates from a position of weakness. She would operate, very pleasantly, from a position of strength, and would soon have the world respecting if not liking America--never look to be liked.

Sarah can handle the job, by golly! She is not the thin skinned whimperer we presently endure, and her speeches are from the heart and mind, not from the TWO TELEPROMPTERS, WHICH HE ASSIDUOUSLY LOOKS UP AT--FIRST CHIN UP TO THE RIGHT, DOWN THEN CHIN UP TO THE LEFT The man is NOT a speaker!.

Good synopsis and I would add Mike Huckabee actually said something I agree with on his program last weekend: If someone wants to run for higher office then they should quit their government-paid job and run, not run while the taxpayers pay their full salary and benefits for not showing up for work (ahem Barack Obama or John McCain or.....fill in the blank... all ran and didn't show up for work for the two years prior to the 2008 vote, if -- in fact -- Palin quit to run for President, well the taxpayers are not paying her a salary to run all over the lower 48, are they... so she saved the taxpayers of Alaska in two ways..

The more people go after her the more I like her.
