I can't stand the New Republic so I won't comment much on the article outside of it except to paraphrase Dennis Green "The New Republic, are who we thought they were".

Sarah Palin's problem is this. She quit less than one term as governor. That was three years before the presidential race. That is her number one problem with most folks I have talked to that would otherwise consider her.

I don't think she's running. If she is, I'll vote for her over Obama, or one on one against Romney if she runs, but that's about it. What will happen three years into her presidency with all the pressure and attacks from the media.

She resigned because the democrats had immobilized her state because of her presence. She could have stayed and drawn her $130,000 salary without being able to do anything while at the same time accumulating over a half million in personal legal bills to fight the malicious lawsuits, but she had better things to do like leading a conservative victory in 2010. Yes, she also wrote a book that made her millions, but she could have done that while still in office

Had she stayed in office, the TEA Party initially would not have been able to draw the huge crowds, and the 2010 landslide may have been very much diminished.

Sounds like you want to do the right thing. “The Undefeated” DVD is available as of today at Wal-Mart and Target stores. It details her resignation as well as a lot of information about her term as governor. There are two versions. The “Exclusive” version available only at Wal-Mart for $14.96 also includes the audio book of Going Rogue.

Suppose she says she resigned the AK governorship because she knew in 2012 she wanted to be a candidate? Is that really so far fetched? Bill Kristol said on the day she resigned it was possibly the first shot across the bow in 2102 republican primary? Sarah herself said she was just leaving the battlefield, just make a tactical move to fight on different turf.

Or will your friends say she had to give that as a reason in July 2009. We are conservatives. we understand how life can be. Explain to your friends this was not a run to the corner and go fishing. The woman’s logged 10,000s miles, made dozens of speeches, many of them major in front of VIP audiences, etc The peculiarities of the AK ethics law do not apply to the US president.
