Somehow, WTC, by sticking her neck into the fray virtually every day, she doesn’t sound like a quitter to me. She has merely “reloaded”. Bob
All fat boy has done so far is run his mouth. The results don’t match his overblown rhetoric.
The whole "reload" business is spin that nobody but a small percentage buy.
In her rambling 'I quit' speech she gave a number of reasons, including this (paraphrased)...
Since I decided not to seek re-election I will be a lame-duck. Lame ducks just waste the taxpayers' money by jetting around on useless foreign travel junkets. I will not do that to the people of Alaska so I'm quitting.
As I said paraphrased but only because I don't want to take the time digging it up - but it's out there.
I saw the speech live and laughed out loud. By her reasoning every elected official who will not or cannot seek an additional term is a lame duck who will waste the taxpayers' money. That means every POTUS on the first day of his second term or to be fair, on day 730 of his second term. Two years left and a lame duck? It is ridiculous.
And, how many true lame duck officials (last days of final term) actually spend that time running all over the map? Most of them do their best to get as much of their agenda pushed through as possible.
Nope, Palin is not the real deal. She says the right things most of the time but, as with all of us, she is judged by her actions not her words.
Does she even know how to reload? Properly sight? Hit a target? As we saw, Daddy Chuck or maybe Todd have to handle the rifles for Caribou Barbie, the tough Mama Grizzly! (yeah, right). One of the biggest phonies ever.
