It’s a pretty big gamble but if anyone can do it she can!
We believe in Free Speech, as long as everybody says the same thing, right?
You Palin-bots scare me as much as the Obama-bots.
I havent heard it in her words yet
She is only looking at financial ruin if she stays Governor but think of the money she can raise now. She’s a rock star!
She said she would not be seeking relection and was transferring power.
Then you missed it . . . she said she's transferring power.
Let the media jackal elite find someone else to spew their vitriol on, let them seek another target. How will the two brain cells in David Letterman's brain occupy their time now?
It’s not like she provided any other angle to fixate on. Political Strategy 101 dictates that when you want the public not to fixate on one thing, YOU have to provide an alternative will draw plenty of attention — otherwise the alternative will be chosen for you, by parties whose goals are in opposition to your own. Failure to grasp basic concepts like this is why she was nowhere near ready for the national stage.
That is not the same as resignation.
Mark Simone on the Hammity show is saying she will resign on 7/26
Well I don’t know what her true motives are, but if she is aiming for 2012 this is sure a strange way to do it. Her term as guv was setup nicely to finish at the end of 2010 and she could jump right in to the race at that time.
If I had to guess then I think she has had it with all the neg stuff and is done with politics.
ABC says she will resign 7/26 but I havent heard HER say it
That's true
Fox News mixed on this with some experts saying she is running for President and others saying she will be hurt by this just like when McCain suspended his campaign.
Others saying she can’t handle the pressure but come on, Obama could not handle it either, no one could. Obama has the media on his side or he would have been toast long ago.
God no, now they are saying this opens the door wide open for Romney.
>> I havent heard it in her words yet
Her speech is here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/07/03/sarah_palin_wont_seek_second_term_will_resign_mid-term.html
I heard it. It’s very, very hard to believe a word of it, except that for all the words, there wasn’t much of a reason stated. I did hear her say TWICE, that she had given her reasons.
Andrea Mitchell reporting that Sarah Palin is leaving Politics all together.
But she isnt done shaping public opinion.
For THE last time . . . I don't care if you have not heard her say it. It was on the video Fox played, Sarah Palin WILL be "transferring power".
Please, deal with it.
