You keep telling yourself that. If she wants the nomination she will get it.

The real reason Palin quit as Alaska Governor?
Former Governor Sarah Palin real reason for quitting as governor was she had done everything she promised to do. Job well done. Time to move on and make sure the things you did in Alaska stayed in place or are achieved and not stopped by Washington.
(No Governor in history has done more in three years for their state)
From the Minors to the Majors, and who as Governor was "MPV" all three years running, needs to be brought up!
Brought up to get the pipeline done, for the people, not only for Alaska, but America! To stop the liberals from throwing in the red tape on the pipe line and on America’s energies supplies.
Small government, lower taxes, less government regulations, more freedom, ---That’s what Governor Palin did for Alaska and with the help of GOD, we the people (Praying for GOD Guidance), and President Palin will do for America!
This Lady is ready, the fans are in place. The lame street media is pushing back,
PLAYBALL !!!!
I’m all for vanities, but have you ever heard of proofreading?
You really have a crush on her, dontcha?
You may spin it all you want but all America is going to see is a quitter...and Americans don't like quitters.
Of course, this is lost on you, you're the guy who vanitized that Palin is better qualified to be POTUS than George Washington was.
Umm, we know why Sarah resigned the governorship when she did. It was an intensely ethical decision. Those who fault her for it are ignorant of the reasons why it was the right thing to do. “Moving on” was tangential to those reasons.
Not as smart as you, Obama! 57 States
I don’t really see anything which an English teacher would have any real problem with in the article. You unhappy it wasn’t written in French or some such??
You used to.
We know Sarah reasons but the real question is:
Why Sarah wasn’t going to run for reelection.?
So do about 80% of FReeRepublic men over 35.
LOL. Nobody agrees with you bub. That’s just your sour grape opinion.
You keep telling yourself that. If she wants the nomination she will get it.
So...if she decides she's accomplished all she wants to after 30 months in the White House are you comfortable with her resigning that office too?
Yes, VP Paul Ryan will do just fine!
If she wants it then she'll have to fight her way past people who want the presidency as bad as she does and who will rip her to shreds in order to get it. And that's just the primaries.
The real reason governor palin resigned was to give Bob J a reason to torment freerepublic with poorly reasoned and pitifully written anti-palin screeds. Bob J is a big wig in the laptop and computer monitor industry. He reaps huge, windfall profits from FReepers destroying their equipment during and after frustrating encounters with his illogical postings. Thanks to the recent Supreme Court ruling, Bob will be able to funnel 100% of his profits to the RINORomneyPAC. He is hoping to secure a post election appointment to head the new Ministry of Information Distribution and Control. Let us all do our best to bring logic, sanity, and a sense of inner peace to Bob J.
A psuedo intellectual marxist with no business experience. A one term State Senator. A sitting US Senator for 170 days, would never get elected President. Just hate tell yah.
Anybody who doesn't realize that she handed any opposition a golden sledge hammer the day she quit and that they will use it to beat her down in the eyes of the American voter is either hopelessly naive or willfully blind.
“Vanitized.”
Never heard that term before, but I like it very much.
As for Sarah, I used to be a fan, but the more I see of her the less impressed I am. However noble her reasons for quitting, half a term in major elected office isn’t enough to get my vote for the nomination. (I have higher standards than the Obama voters, you see.)
You're talking about the most maligned politician arguably in American history. I think Sarah can handle the primaries and general election should she chooses to run.
Oh, are you looking for someone with a similar lack of experience? Mayor of a one stoplight town and half a term as Governor (which she quit) is not Presidential material.
Name one Republican that can beat her in the primaries?
I hope so. Because if you think she's been maligned to date then you haven't seen anything yet.
Vanitized -—— you may use it.
Yep, America wants a Jr HS cheerleader in the WH.
Her support is in the millions, it's not just "palinites" here on FR. Also other elected Republicans who don't share your nonsense.
There are plenty who aren't in that group who do realize that she is unelectable as POTUS for that reason.
Sure, there were plenty who doubted she can win the Governorship after "quitting" her Oil and Gas Commission job too.
Anybody who doesn't realize that she handed any opposition a golden sledge hammer the day she quit and that they will use it to beat her down in the eyes of the American voter is either hopelessly naive or willfully blind.
Her supporters know why she quit and don't give a feces about this ridiculous left-wing meme that you're sadly using as fact. The independents are the ones she will need to convince and once they get the facts they won't care why she stepped down either.
All your doing is repeating a talking point that would make Axelrod proud.
Sarah had everything thrown at her - what more can they do to her? Attack her family again?
Since she had just announced that she was not going to seek re-election she would be nothing but a lame-duck (for almost two years) and lame ducks do nothing but waste the taxpayers money.
I laughed when she said that. By her definition any term-limited politician is nothing but a lame duck on the first day of his final term. He might as well quit. I bet she would.
‘LOL. Nobody agrees with you bub’
This bub does. Don’t use ‘nobody’, it cheapens your argument. And like my dad always told me, ‘don’t quit the job’.
This idea that she accomplished everything is as stupid and shallow an argument that can stated. Hell, at least say she wanted to get away from the law suits and make some money. She wil be ground into dust for quitting.
No just someone who believes in the Constitution, has common sense, and knows the price of a gallon of milk.
In ways she can't imagine through surrogates that she won't see coming. They've found her Achilles heel.
Hey, good job, I’m not felling real well, so I’m not going to post any more,
I feel better just reading the come backs from real people like you!
and the same tired old anti-Palin posts helps put me to sleep.

Based on what data?
The next POTUS will need 70 million American votes. The majority of those would have to be from main-stream GOP and the independents (most of whom voted for obama). No way Palin would ever get anywhere near that number.
btw...have you ever posted an argument that was substantive instead of riddled with name-calling? I don't think so.
She did it for the money and to spend more time campaigning for president... DUH!.
I agree with you,,,, lost her chance when she quit. Alot of other conservative friends of mine agree as well..
You just described my 85 year old mother (who, btw, is no Palin fan at all - thinks she’s a lightweight).
Sen. Evan Bayh quit too. But, that won’t prevent him from running for president. I am sure liberals will forget that fact.
Yet some home Sarah Palin quitting as Alaska governor disqualifies her from running.
Can you help on this. I live in Alaska and I can't find the pipeline or anything remotely leading to the pipeline.
No it didn't.
When I said "nobody," I meant it. The only people who believe the meme are of course the left and a handful of FReepers. You guys are truly in the statistical minority.
And like my dad always told me, ‘don’t quit the job’.
Would your old man have been proud if you stayed and ended up millions of dollars in debt with a tattered reputation as an ineffective Governor?
This idea that she accomplished everything is as stupid and shallow an argument that can stated.
It's true. She accomplished everything she set out to do and stepped down for her capable successor to finish out her term. She didn't want herself to be in the cross-hairs of the political left and her state to suffer for it.
Hell, at least say she wanted to get away from the law suits and make some money. She wil be ground into dust for quitting.
So it's OK to be ground in the dust for "quitting" but not for staying? If she would have stayed, you guys would be saying she didn't get anything done and she only served one term anyway.
Attacking her family again will turn off independents who did not intend to vote for Sarah. It will backfire and it will only highlight how depraved and desperate her opponents are.
"We know what it took to get you to quit as governor...what will it take you to quit as President?"
There is no good answer for that. The handful of her FR fans don't need an answer but tens of millions of American voters do.
In fact, McCain and Palin were AHEAD, when Team Romney-care
began its vicious, misogynistic attack (leading to your disparagement).
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Kathleen Parker: After Interviews, Palin Should Bow Out"
Staggering bigotry of Kathleen Parker - UPDATED"
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Between all the Beck Bashing since yesterday, and now Sarah dissing, I think I'll log off and come back tomorrow and see if it's still the same old CONSERVATIVE Free Republic that I remember?
Either that or there are a whole bunch of RomneyBots or Paulinistas here who are doing a hatchet job on Beck and Palin much the same as other mainstream RINO's have been of late and I wish y'all luck if you think one of them can get elected in 2012!
I'm not sure if Sarah will run or if she's up to it, but until such time as we know for sure, how's about we save our ire and attacks for The Community Agitator and all the other Demo-Rats????
You are arguing philosophy with a Hare Krishna at the airport. It's a fun thing to do as a time killer but no amount of logic or fact will stop the Hare Krishna from tapping his bells.
In the millions based on what real world data?
The Tea Party movement and the conservative base, as well as independents and ex-Democrats turned off by Obama.
The next POTUS will need 70 million American votes. The majority of those would have to be from main-stream GOP and the independents (most of whom voted for obama). No way Palin would ever get anywhere near that number.
That "mainstream" GOP candidate your fantasizing about can't win without the conservative base. Palin has the conservative base locked up. They're not going to vote for anyone else other than the candidate Sarah endorses if she chooses not to run.
It's easier for Sarah to attract independents than it is for some other GOP nominee to attract the base.
btw...have you ever posted an argument that was substantive instead of riddled with name-calling? I don't think so.
Where did I name-call? "Bub?" That's not a name-call, that's standard par for the course here at FR.
Pfff. By the time she would have been done she’d have been so far in debt she couldn’t have run anway. The ethics system of the state of Alaska failed her. I don’t believe in quitting, but I don’t believe in sacrificing yourself on someone elses altar either.
I asked for data - got any? Because your last post didn’t.
