Gee, I didn't know Hindraker was a mind-reader. Nobody knows what Sarah is going to do. That's the beauty of being an unconventional politician rather than a statist.
Does Palin really want to set a precedent that a Republican who is unfairly attacked by Democrats will quit?
What part of putting Alaska & her people ahead of politics does Hindraker not understand? My God, I swear these people hypocritically tsk-tsk the fact that Palin is resigning, but would have still piled on her had she remained and been bogged down by more bogus ethics charges ("Palin's term marked by scandals, GOP sources says she's unqualified"). They are psychologically incapable of seeing an elected official put the interests of the people before their own selfish agenda.
Here is why I think Palin quit: she wants to be the Republican Presidential nominee in 2012.
More mind-reading, more rampant speculation just to feed blog traffic.
Her rivals for the nomination are beginning to make the circuit of Republican and conservative grass-roots groups.
What rivals? Romney & Jeb Bush are distrusted by the base and has no chance of winning them over. Huckabee is mired in a talk-show. Pawlenty is staying on the job until 2010 which means he too will get a late-gate for a 2012 bid.
Palin, on the other hand, is isolated in Anchorage.
Not after 07/26 she isn't.
I still think Palin's resignation was a mistake; it will make the logistics of campaigning much easier
But wait a minute. I thought Palin was "isolated in Anchorage." So Hindraker, which one is it? If she stays in Alaska and completes her term, she'll get criticized for being isolated, but yet she shouldn't have resigned?
LOL
These hand-wringers whining about her leaving is getting old-come down to the lower 48 Sarah...WE NEED YOU!
