Most people think Sarah’s reasons for resigning are very silly.
She could have stayed as governor till 2010 and easily start her Presidential campaign after that and can raise tons of money.
At this stage, her decision to quit does not add up and has ended up pulling down her chances for 2012 nomination.
Those "most people" are just as anonymous as the GOP/ex-McCain flunkies who criticize Palin in the shadows.
She could have stayed as governor till 2010 and easily start her Presidential campaign after that and can raise tons of money.
She wouldn't have gotten anything done from now until 2010 and by the time the 2012 presidential race got underway, her term would have been characterized as being "scandal-plagued". Furthermore, her term would have finished in Dec of 2010 and she would have needed several months to get an exploratory committee underway and hire a staff. Especially being in Alaska, all that would have taken up crucial time. You should realize that last presidential election actually began just days before the 2006 mid-terms ended.
At this stage, her decision to quit does not add up and has ended up pulling down her chances for 2012 nomination.
She has given plausible reasons why she is stepping down and we don't know if she's really going to run in 2012 or not.
She could have stayed as governor till 2010 and easily start her Presidential campaign after that and can raise tons of money.
And the anklebiters and critics would of bitched saying “she wasn’t spending enough time working for our state!!!”
Everytime she left, there would had been one bogus ethics charge after another.
Nothing was geting nothing done...she was spending her time fending off bogus ethics complaints and racking up lawyer bills.
Really! Someone has run the numbers on this? They've done statistically valid surveys on the issue and have published results. Can you report on their efforts? Or are you simply expressing an opinion? If the latter, then that's OK. Nothing wrong with opinions. Everyone has them.
