This explanation should not be necessary, but apparently it is.
Chappaquiddick ended Ted Kennedy’s presidential ambitions.
The resignation probably ended Sarah Palin’s presidential ambitions.
There is no comparison between the character of Palin and that of Teddy.
Palin is far above Kennedy in matters of character.
We know where Ted Kennedy went after he died. We know that Sarah Palin will be going to a different place after she passes.
Keep reaching. You aren’t getting anywhere, but the effort ought to make you feel better.
When you make a silly comparison, of course explanation is necessary.
Ted Kennedy DID run for President, eleven years after Chappaquiddick. He was beaten in the primary by Jimmy Carter (the second worst President in U.S. history, but I digress). So, his presidential aspirations were NOT thwarted by his cowardly act in 1969.
Sarah Palin's resignation as Governor will be slammed and belittled by the mainstream press. Who expected anything else? If not that, they will dream up fifteen other reasons, real and imagined, why she is unelectable.
Meanwhile, she is doing everything right (travel to India and Israel this week are perfect examples) to position herself for a good run.
Go Sarah, go!!
The resignation didn’t end Sarah Palin’s presidential ambitions, it most likely saved it.....The Obama Adminstration was going after her personally to destroy her and she removed herself from office not just to save herself but most importantly to save all that she worked for on behave of her state....it will be found that she sacrifice herself for the better, and yes it will come out that the Obama Adminstration was behind the dirty tricks against her - she said so in December on the Denise Miller radio show, so obviously she has the goods on them and apparently there were elements of the MSM involved as well and it will propel her into the nomination
Look, I don't think she's going to run. Do I want her too? You betcha ya.
But the 'she quit' line is so tired. If I hired someone to do a job, and someone else was pulling that person away from the job they were hired to do, I'd be pissed as all get out- especially if they were being paid out of my pocket.
And had she stayed, how long before she was beat up for NOT doing her job because she was so tied up in frivolous lawsuits?
I get people don't like her, won't vote for her, etc. But the the quit thing? Come on. It was the ethically right thing to do. How many times have we screamed about Obama off playing golf, partying, etc. and not doing his job?
