She did what was best for AK, given how the politicized legislature was galvanized against supporting any of her agenda after her VP run.
Somehow, I don’t think the actual situation matters to you, you’re just looking to be a jerk.
So, it’s OK for you to attach labels to Rick Perry, but if I call Sarah Palin a “quitter”, which she is, I’m being a “jerk”.
That’s some amazing logic there, FRiend!
So she's really not "undefeated" then. She allowed herself to be forced out right? By your logic EVERY Alaska governor could be just as easily forced out by frivolous ethics charges. Perhaps they should all just quit?
I understand why Palin left. She is an influential conservative, and felt she could take on what she perceived as a larger role unshackled from her gig as Governor.
She still quit though, and the kinds of things she pursued are perceived by many conservatives to be nothing but fluff. RealityTV shows? Come on, seriously? Do we really need to see Palin on TV with Kate Gosselin? And these hit and run appearances obviously designed to muscle in on other candidates media is just getting old. Looks pretty clear to me that the choices she made since leaving her Governor job have been very unpopular with most Republicans.
I have no problem with her criticizing the Republican candidates from her perch at Fox News. It's what she's paid a million dollars a year to do. I think Rush is right though, the Gardasil thing was dumb, but certainly doesn't rise to the level of corruption.
I certainly don't feel sorry for Perry though. If he is a good candidate he will be able to take the heat, become a better debater, clarify his positions better, and emerge even stronger.
