Sorry, warpops. Anyone who implies that "Palin quit" because she couldn't take the political heat is the opposite of reasonable. There's a difference between financial heat and political heat. A REASONABLE person grasps the difference and a REASONABLE peron recognizes that the very calculated strategy that drove her to resign would have been as successful in its goal of turning folks like you against her if she had stayed in office.

"Reasonable" is the highest compliment I could want, thank you!

Maybe it's because I'm middle-aged. I have often said most of my problems with Palin stem from her fans.

I recall how much we loathed the cult of personality around Palin, and it seems many people actually were just jealous, and wanted that very kind of emotional involvement the Obama crowds grooved in.

Palin is a politician. I don't get emotionally wrapped up in pols, don't overlook flaws in people who see things as I do, and don't think the requirements for becoming president should be watered down just because someone so completely unprepared for the job as Obama got in on the other side.

I come from a time when I could criticize a presidential candidate extensively and STILL vote for them--and people didn't think there was anything odd about that.

These are politicians, not friends.
