You wanted her to succeed so badly, you just had to make a post that refuses to take her at her word?
Cannot imagine having to take the beating she and her family haven taken by the media. I can only imagine that had a role to play in this
We may need another wet cleanup on aisle 12.
So are a couple people on this thread.
The Democrats had virtually besieged her in Alaska rather than let her build up a record there, and her enemies in the Republican Party are numerous. She is trying to outflank them. I think the article in “Runner;s world,” is spot on. She intends to take on Obama himself, as she will knows that she and he are starting from the same place. The only questions are whether she will be able to attract the same money that he did, or whether she needs to, because there is also the example of Reagan, or more recently Huckabee. Find a way to talk over the heads of the media —and the party autocrats. I know one thing. We are in a new political landscape, and acting as a freebooter Palin—if she wants—can make a difference.
Well, you’re wrong. It’s just as simple as that. I wish her well but this is bizzare.

Where were these editorial attacks when Democraps resigned? Hmmmm?
It doesn’t matter what she believes or doesn’t believes about what she says. This is a bizzare move. Maybe it will work, I don’t know, but I am not betting on it.
While I like her message, I am less impressed with the messenger. She is in many ways like Obamalongadingdong: great appeal without the underlying experience and credentials. She is a great neuewine, but time will tell if the vintage will be great. Her great advantage is that she has time to age, to mellow, to become wise in the ways of this cutthroat world. I, for one, am willing to wait. I would much rather support a Sarah Palin who has reached the full essence of her vintage. Today, she is good with a little Zwieblekuchen (onion cake), but is best left to mature.
Time will tell if she is Presidential timber, in the meantime she can work wonders in the fundraising arena for those of her ilk who will be essential to build a conservative comeback.
Does anybody remember how Bill Clinton’s career was over after his disastrous 1984 Democratic National Convention speech—the one where the delegates burst into raucous applause when Bill finally got around to saying “and in conclusion?”
Nixon was done after the Checkers speech.
Mark Twain said “the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
We will hear from Sarah Palin again. She may or may not ever win the Presidency but it sure looks like she’s planning to build her own network outside the GOP good old boy’s network, and with it her own national power base, which—like Palin or not—will be a force to be reckoned with.
Unless Obama makes that illegal too, of course.
Everybody, on this Independence Day Eve, needs to remember why this country was founded, and think about what we all need to do to make the American Experiement successful again.
Obama got away with calling himself an “imperfect vessel.” Little did we know how very imperfect he was.
Palin isn’t perfect either. But she’s the most charismatic leader that we who still respect the original ideals of the American Experiment have right now.
If her resignation allows her to do something like turn the Tea Party movement into a real political force, then that’s a win for all of us, even if she never serves a day in the Oval Office.
Stay on target, people. The goal is not to elect Palin, the goal is to ensure liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Let’s be about it.
Ed Morrissey is a great blogger but he's wrong here. With all the frivolous ethic charges eating into Palin's personal fortune and distracting her from doing Alaska's business, something was bound to give. I don't see this as "bailing out," Hell if she would have stayed the same crap would have continued and you don't see the RNC or the state doing something about this.
Democraps have a double standard.
She said she plans to be working to be supporting those whose views she likes.
That’s an easy game plan. She draws 1000’s where ever she goes.
She’ll make millions on the speaking circuit supporting republican candidates for the 2010 elections. (and possibly but not likely a blue dog dem or two)
Its a twofer her.
Sarah has been thoroughly Alinskyed by the America haters.
She’s not going Galt. She’s going guerilla.
sorry, if you were really for her, you would let this play out. and not go negative—that’s expected from DU trolls. see my tagline
Why the long face, jokyo?
She’s going to need lots of money and lawyers.
0 has seemingly endless amounts of money and
he can promise high level jobs for those who come across.
It ain’t going to be easy.
I know it’s summer and people dress rather loosely, but dude, your yellow belly and troll sweat are really really un=attractive!
