We wanted her to go back to Alaska following the 2008 presidential election. Be the best governor she could be. Bone up like crazy, on issues national and international. Emerge for the 2012 presidential cycle informed to the gills, but still with her lovely, fresh, irreplaceable charisma. Then sweep the world.

I happen to agree with Jay, but quite possibly Sarah is on the cutting edge, not me.

I would be quite happy to be wrong in this case.

I believe Jay is quite happy to be wrong about her too! (which is why he just wrote this)

She has boned up on issues! It’s just that most choose to ignore them! Have any major or potential candidate including President Obama come out with a 5 point approach to military intervention? Has any talked in a major speech and op-Ed about the ill effects of QE2 and the role of the Federal Reserve? Mitt? Tim? Bachmann? Has anyone dissected Obama’s energy plan like Sarah? Well? Who gave a warning about coming inflation and the falling dollar among the potentials 2 years ago? Anybody other than Palin? I rest my case!

I don't know Sarah Palin, but I'll bet a weeks pay that was what she wanted to do too.

But the evil Rouse and other Obama operatives kept hitting her (and Alaska) with all those groundless complaints and lawsuits. None of them ever stood up, but they were quite hurtful to Palin, which was the intent.

So in the end, she sacrificed her future for the good of her state. Evil won.

God owes her. I hope He comes through.
