Face it—if she gets nominated in ‘12, they will harp on the Quitter aspect. And frankly, its justified. She quit when things got tough and chose to be a professional celebrity. . AWas it fair? No, but life ain’t fair. Anyone here who imagines that charge won’t stick is smoking something. I think it great that she raises $$ for conservative candidates, but she is simply not electable as POTUS.
Sure they will. And will that persuade you to vote for Obama? No?
Use your head. Those who can be swayed by the MSM's knocks on Sarah Palin weren't ever going to vote for her anyway. Sarah's supporters already know the truth of the events surrounding her resignation, and understand that she outfoxed those who were trying to destroy her.
You're pushing the enemy line, here. I hope you know that.
Your analysis of her stepping down as the Governor of Alaska as dooming her prospects revolves around the fact the entire narrative over the issue has been dictated by those who either loathe her or those who do not want her to run under any circumstance.
Once her reasons are laid out for all to ponder, assuming she does decide to run and then has center stage to present her “side” of any given issue, I believe your analysis falls apart. To be fair about this issue, hyping it to the extreme as you and others have does not make sense when you actually weigh the reasoning behind the move, and to idly dismiss the underlying reasons and to characterize her motives in a flippant manner simply states to me that not only are you dishonest about your reasoning behind such an analysis of that situation, you are actually reaching to find any undesirable available to voice your disapproval of the person in question.
In other words, this is a weak argument that has no chance of “weighing her down”, IMO.
Resigning was a move of political genius, imho. a 4fer ! 1) Stopped the lawsuits and shut the hell up the dems trying to destroy her. 2) enabled her to make money on the speaker circuit/books to pay for the legal harrasment and support the conservative cause and tea party candidates. 3) which gave her a national voice, which she would not have had stuck in only-God-knows- what time zone that is in Alaska 4) while leaving the governorship in great hands.
She had no choice and it most satisfyingly backfired on the dems.
You’re thick.
But the current PO(TU)S is. That doesn't speak well for the electorate.
I think it great that she raises $$ for conservative candidates, but she is simply not electable as POTUS.
That’s what I have been trying to say all along but people just don’t seem to get it for some reason. She does so well in raising $$$ so why not keep her where she does good? She has helped a lot and can continue to do so in the next two years.
The political psychopaths who targeted Governor Palin with charges of non-existent ethical breaches were in effect shooting at the citizens of Alaska.
In stepping down from her position as Governor, Palin drew fire away from the people she took an oath to serve.
Whenever given a choice between personal gain and moral or public duty, Palin has always chosen duty.
As opposed to all the nice things they will say about who?
She quit when things got tough and chose to be a professional celebrity.
This has been gone over ad nauseum, anyone who cares to know the truth knows it. Alaska's ethics laws were being used to paralyze her administration. If she hadn't resigned you would be parroting some line about all her ethics violations. If she had tried to repeal the laws you would be telling us how she was against ethics.
You’re exactly right. The dems have the media in their back pocket and they hate Palin more than anything in the world. She has zero chance of winning. Personally, I like her and I like her message. But I’m also a realist. Anyway, good post. Sorry for all the namecalling you’ve experienced in response to it.
