Palin gave valid reasons why she needed to step down.

Valid, perhaps. But that still doesn't mean it was good for her political future, at least not if she wants to run for the Presidency.

But Palin is so far the only Republican with the guts to criticizing Washington and the Obama administration and simultaneously defending conservative principles.

Ridiculous. Mark Sanford, for one, was fighting Obama and his stimulus pretty hard. And ever hear of Tom Coburn, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, or Jim DeMint? Palin's obviously been a strong voice, but this "Palin or hell" view so many here take, that she's the only true conservative in a wilderness of RINOs and wimps, is both absurd and unproductive.

Again, you don't get it. She didn't do this with concerns to her "political future." She resigned for the good of Alaska and its residents.

They fought the stimulus bill but only Palin has been criticizing Zero's overall policies. Also, only Palin explained why the stimulus was bad and what impact it would have on Alaskan residents.

I just don't see anyone out there right now who has the charisma and authenticity that Palin has.
