Everything you wrote about palin’s motive for quitting is pure speculation. I prefer to take her at her word. I am surprised that you don’t.

Nope, she first said that she wasn't going to run...then she described herself as a lame duck...then she said that lame ducks just waste tax dollars...then she said that Alaska deserves better...then she quit.

That's the beauty of our technology....her actual words are captured for all to see or, in your case, ignore.

UVNV...you can see for yourself...if you genuinely care to...http://community.adn.com/adn/node/142176

Went to the link.

Read it through.

You’ve still not answered my question.

The transcript is online for anyone to read. Beauty of our technology indeed. You really need to stop digging. I’ve read the transcript over several times. If you don’t comprehend what you read it’s not our fault. Your credibility has long gone.

like other people, Palin resigned from office to run for president...

_____________________________

Really? I gotta say that based solely on those endeavors where she invested her time and efforts since she quit it looks like she did so to write a couple of books, get a couple of jobs on TV, travel around for highly paid speaking engagements and just generally add to the palin(™) brand and coffers.

Nothing wrong with any of that but none of it enhances her real-world qualifications to be POTUS and I don't see a presidential run anywhere...did I miss the announcement?

I'm actually serious. I'm rather proud of myself for realizing that, as a college-age youth, I'm a total jackass.

Of course, I'm rather smug in my enlightenment, so I probably lose points.

Love that last sentence! Can I steal it? That sums up Sarah’s decision to resign better and with brevity than I’ve ever heard!

If leftist loons can FOIA a Governer out of her seat, we’ve got huge problems in this country. The instigators should have been held up as an example, day after day, making it known just how much Alaskan taxpayer money was being wasted in complying with these frivilous requests and charges.

Sarah should not have quit. She should have objectified her enemy, froze them, brought focus on them and heaped public ridicule upon them. Every time a taxpayer dollar was being used to meet some lunatic’s demands, their name and the names of all of their backers should have been in the next speech, or newspaper column.

I believe that Sarah Palin’s resignation was done as selfless act, to spare her constituents from the expense of these constant attcks. However, I think her judgement was flawed, and she ultimately opened the door for similar leftist tactics to be used in the future.

Please do steal it. It really doesn’t belong to me, because it’s only words from my keyboard. It belongs to Governor Palin who gets all the real work done.
