As any gambler knows, before one moves, one must be prepared to lose EVERYTHING.
The higher the risk the sweeter the deal.

She has scared the crap out of the liberals once again.
They just cannot get her off their minds.
It’s like they are possessed by her. they hate her , but they cannot get her of their minds, she is their greatest fear.
When you’re on a train that is out of control and speeding downhill at great speed, some would believe you might need to take some risks. Sitting inside, fat, dumb and stupid, isn’t really going to do much for you.
If you had actually LISTENED to her.... you would know the answer.
Just because is causes cognitive dissonance with the left and RINOs doesn't mean it's not a valid answer.

The author of the above statement is so intellectually dishonest, she even lies to herself. It is logically impossible for the resignation of an unqualfied person to be a dereliction of duty.
Don’t ya love these monday morning quarterbacks coming out of the woodwork trying to figure out what is going on in Sarah’s head..she knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Before she decided to do this, the first thing she thought of was people thinking she was “quitting” and “couldn’t handle the pressure” she knows all this, DUH..and did it anyway, so she has something up her sleeve, she probably consulted with many people before making this decision. She is smarter then some are giving her credit for. She came from humble beginnings and made something of her life without the help of a famous last name or some elitist school, she did it all on her own. She is probably sitting at home right now, laughing at people who claim to know what she is doing and what her future holds. It’s fun watching libs squirm, like watching a chicken with it’s head cut off
Declaration of Independence a risky move.
Yes, for the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky street rabble and their ideological issue.
To wit, I recall when Reagan was governor of California he used to drive the Marxist-Alinsky street (and campus) rabble nuts because they could circle him shouting, threatening and it did not upset him the tiniest iota.
Sarah Palin has that composure, I believe.
How about her own TV show (and I hope it's repeated on radio) where she has a segment, for example, Tell me to my face, punk.
She would challenge the Alinsky lying mau-mauers to come on the air with her. As the liar rants and raves and the spittle flies (it's what they do) the camera could focus on Ms Palin smiling and tolerant.
To borrow a bit of dialogue from a movie from Sarah’s (not to mention my) college days:
“Sometimes you have to say, ‘What the ****!’ Make your move!”
“That’s easy for you to say. You’re all set. You’re probably going to Harvard. Me, I don’t want to make a mistake, jeopardize my future!”
“Joel, let me tell you something. Every now and then, say ‘What the ****!’ ‘What the ****!’ gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.”

Mark Levine puts the move in perspective...

Palin knows who she is in Alaska and she does a good job up there by all accounts. But she was never able to define herself on national issues. No one believed that she believed what she said. She was either speaking in cliches or regurgitating McCains talking points. Now that she is leaving office after 2 1/2 years, very few who were willing to give her the benefit of the doubt will still support her.
She could probably do more outside of Alaska, getting conservatives elected. Still, I don’t think it was a smart move if she has abmitions for higher office. I’m less inclined to support her for sure.
I think Palin knew well the risk she was taking and had no problem thinking of herself as out of politics. She can take advantage of this opportunity while it is there, and provide for her family. Who can blame her?
I think I have this all figured out. Palin is out to be a “Community Organizer”, she needs that experience to become qualified to run for President.
Being she can't counter the financial ruin cause by political operatives while in office, she must go.
She should use the issue to her advantage.
How have Americans come to the place where it is absolutely inconceivable that any politician would voluntarily lay aside their office for the good of their party and their country? We have created a system that is so far removed from what the founders designed, and peopled it with greedy, power-mad thugs, that I see no possibility of recovery. The derision heaped on Sarah Palin from all sides simply for demonstrating that power and ambition do not motivate her is yet another proof that America as we once knew it is gone for good.
I posted parts of this earlier to another thread....
In another odd twist to the whole shebeen - (As seen on TV!)
Sara has left, so now the Lt Gov, Sean Parnell, is the new (or will soon be) Gov. Even that is not the end of strange-ness.
Alaska’s constitutional framers left to the Legislature the task of penciling in the line of succession for the top executive posts and determining when the top office can been deemed vacant by absence or disability. In 1959, the Legislature set the mechanism for succession, but even by today, has yet to address the vacancy determination issue, and now this lack has come back to haunt us.
Lawmakers decided the best thing was to allow governors — back then, they wanted the strongest chief executive possible — to “appoint, from among the officers who head the principal departments of the state government or otherwise, a person to succeed to the office of lieutenant governor if the office of lieutenant governor becomes vacant.”
The appointment requires a majority confirmation vote of a joint session of the Legislature and the appointee serves at the “pleasure of the governor.”
The new Lt Gov (required) is NOT the Chief of the Dept of Corrections as was Ssara first choice - new Lt Gov will be the Commander, Alaska Nat’l Guard - Major General Craig Campbell.
A very good choice. As an ex-Tower Flower, he understands Aviation, key to Alaska’s future. See his bio (http://www.ngb.army.mil/ngbgomo/library/bio/1040.htm)
But this is another odd twist.
Why? The current head of the Dept of Corrections is an old time Palin chum. His appointment to the DoC rasied quite a fuss. Charges of croynism were in the press. He seems to have done a good enough job to date - at least the Union has shut up.
He declined the Lt Gov job, no doubt knowing he would be the center of another firestorm of accusations of cronyism within the State Governors offices.
So, now we have Sean and his #2, Craig.
Get the popcorn kiddies, come this falls Legislative session - there is going to be a be knife fight over the budget.
My, my, they are scratching their heads? You mean they could not understand what Sarah explained so very well in her resignation speech?>P>
The poor media, DEMS, and RINOS! They continue to scratch their heads. Guess they wonder what Sarah will do as she points out their lies, and stupidity for all to see! Keep scratching, guys!! Looks like some of you will be scratching your heads as you go for your court date to face a liable suit! GO SARAH!
