No, I don’t think it’s flat out wrong.
I thought it was January 2011, but okay, let’s say it’s 2010. That’s still not a lot of time to get prepared. Remember the last election and how early everyone started?
The first of the Republican debates was on May 3, 2007. Building a national network in 5 months is ‘plenty of time’? I have my doubts about that. Remember how flustered the morons were about Fred Thompson missing like 3 of those stupid debates?
I think that she didn’t resign because she was backing down from a fight. I think she resigned, because her hands were tied so she couldn’t fight in her current position. I have almost zero doubt that between the RINOs and Rats in the AK legislature, that they would have tried to start impeachment proceedings the moment they got the slightest whiff that she might be running for another office. She made a lot of enemies in the AK Republican party and the Rats are desperate for any excuse to derail Palin. So, she removed the problem from the equation. Call it the Jack Traven ‘shoot the hostage’ political strategy. Risky for sure, but also solves problems that need solving in a quick and final way.
Frankly, I also agree with her sentiment that it’s a lousy state of affairs when politicians collect a paycheck from their current job while doing nothing but running for another. It IS part of the problem.
