More to this, KC. something deeper than what we know so far. And something even bigger than her family.
Or something more sinister, like on the level of Gunwalker?
LOL
Yes, it’s all a big conspiracy. I’ve been on the receiving end of your personal attacks for pointing out facts about Palin, and now you’re hinting at some nefarious plot.
She quit once, and she just quit again. She’s a quitter.
I am sensing that there is more to Palin’s decision as well...I hope she’s not sick i.e. cancer, even a month ago with Iowa Passion video, she seemed so much more energetic and upbeat. She has looked tired lately.
“...something even bigger than her family.”
You were more gracious to me than some other PalinFRistas (who shall remain unnamed), for suggesting I thought she would decline to run. To be honest, my gut told me in November 2008 that she wouldn’t run in ‘12. That was my conclusion based on nothing but maternal instinct.
So, I DO buy that her decision was based on family. SP has three children still at home, the youngest of whom is only 3 years old and a Downs Syndrome child. He’s no longer the 4-6 month old infant of the ‘08 campaign. His needs are so much ore now,
There is no way any person, however gifted, can be POTUS, a 24/7/365 job, AND satisfactorily mother that family, especially Trig.
I’m delighted for her, personally, that she came to that conclusion. She’s still very young, will be very active, can speak out without interference of handlers or concern about how her every word would be perceived around the world. (and, yes, a POTUS does have to worry about that).
Having provided her public service for conservative causes and candidates, she can return to Wasilla to be with her family in their natural environment.
If she wants to run in 12 years, she’ll be far more seasoned than today and not torn between two conflicting sets of obligations. She got her priorities absolutely right IMO.
