Kingmaker?.....I can't see it

You cannot be a Kingmaker without power. She threw hers away.

She just threw all her cards on the table and walked away.

A pattern is emerging: When the going gets tough, she gets going.... right the hell outta there.

I think she made the right decision. She knows she has some image-building to do before she is truly electable. This was not an example of cowardice. Anyone who thinks Palin is a coward doesn't understand her at all, in my opinion. Just as those who think she is stupid don't understand her at all.

What gives me the most joy about this is what a disappointment it will be to the Palin haters, who will be deprived of so much of their ugly fun. And I won't have to listen to it.
