It's probably very hard to be governor of Alaska. Located an entire day's trip away from Washington, D.C., or New York, my guess is that Sarah Palin felt isolated and out of touch in Juneau and felt that it was important to get back in the game. With President Barack Obama destroying the free-enterprise system, bankrupting the nation, and digging us into a hole of debt it will take a decade to climb out of, Palin undoubtedly felt the need to play a role when health care, our nation's manufacturing base, and so many key areas were at stake. As Eileen McGann and I say in our new book "Catastrophe," the threat to our nation could not be greater.

Good Night! Dick Morris said exactly what I have been saying for the last hour.
I think we are going to see something develop that will be awesome.
Dick had to get the plug in for his new book!
Dick Morris once again is SPOT ON..Sarah Palin is a freakin GENIUS..she is smarter then some think. She knows EXACTLY what she is doing. She is finally free..free, free as a bird and now she can soar to new heights. Libs are probably more terrified of her now then they were of her yesterday
I believe it also.
They've attacked her 14 year old daughter, 18 year old daughter, and her for not aborting her 1 year old with Downs.
Alaska's revenues are tied to the price of oil, so the job is probably getting more difficult.
She can punt the governor's job, get good money making speeches and writing books in the lower 48, or sort of be trapped in Alaska. It's hard, when you are Alaska governor, to go give a political speech in Chicago, NY, Washington, or even LA. But if you are a lower 48 politico, these things are much easier.
To me it sounds like Dick is involved in projection here.
He’s the one who is isolated and out of the game. And here he is doing a lousy job of psychoanalyzing Sarah Palin.
Poor Dick! To have to sit there under his wife’s thumb all day and help her write books, when he’d rather be out in the world mixing it up in another campaign.
If Dick Morris’ book is as perceptive as this piece, I better check out his book.
She’s now FREE to campaign and move about WHEREVER SHE WANTS!
The ZERO had no management experience and got elected, so why do all these PUNDITURDS now think it’s a MUST REQUIREMENT? (maybe because she’s a ‘woman’??)
One odd thing with this today... Rush was on live today...very odd for the 4th weekend and in fact he talked about the staff thinking they had the day off but he decided to do a live show at the last minute it was to be just a taped “best of” show... did he know something was was coming today but not the time?
Do you think there will be some collaboration going on during Rush’s vacation?
Sarah is one of the last Patriotic Politicians left in this country.
She’s now FREE to campaign and move about WHEREVER SHE WANTS!

Sarah can draw huge crowds. It would be fantastic to have her speaking out against Crap&Tax and ZeroCare. The MSM/SRM would go nuts. How are they going to slam her without covering what some of her talking points are? This should send poor Barry into a tizzy....
Don’t ya love liberal hypocrisy, they go on and on about Sarah not being “experienced” enough, yet we got a guy in the White House who has ZERO experience, he hardly even served in the Senate, other then being Senator for 5 minutes, what the hell did Obama ever do. Let’s see, since Obama has been in office, we are what, 3 trillion bucks in debt, we have banks failing all over the damn place, we got missiles aimed at Hawaii and Alaska, and we have almost 10 percent unemployment. Oh yeah, Obama is some kind of genius isn’t he..God bless that experience of his, he sure is doing a great job(Sarcasm)..Sarah has more experience and qualifications in her pinky finger then Obama will ever see in a lifetime. I’d take Sarah’s “Inexperience” over Obama any day of the week
The pitbull has broken free of its chain. I bet they’re worried :)
bigger surprises await them
I expect to see the Palins move to the lower 48 in a year or so. Meanwhile she will make lots of money, help get concervatives elected in 2010, then get herself elected senator from her new home state in 2012. 4 years as senator and say hello to .president Palin 2016!
Now that she doesn't have to worry about her gubernatorial duties she's going to open a can on the Dems and RINOs.
My thought is that he knew this was coming, and is, conveniently, not there to make comments on her resignation.
Sarah is the one politician that echoes Rush more than any other. Her connection to him, in any way, right now would be a distraction.
Anyone who characterizes her speech in that fashion, is 'WISHING' nothing but BAD THINGS on that woman. PERIOD!
ZERO only WISHES he could give a speech like that without his OBAMAPROMPTER in front of his nose!
CASE CLOSED!!!
Real world.. best bet is yes... their talking... Rush has been really the point man on the conservative moment, holding the line this last six months... but he not a politician and he tell you that up front... he knows there needs to be a political leader, a candidate leading and we all know that Sara
In broad terms, in the new conservative moment push... Rush takes the Bill Buckley roll...to Sara as Reagan
Both Obama and McCain ran for POTUS and were rarely in the senate (GOOD!) and never missed a paycheck.
When I am in charge, politicians won't be able to raise re-election campaign $$$ until a year before election day. They spend too much time raising $$$ money for themselves and their friends. I would make it unlawful to give campaign $$$ to another politicians. That is not what people gave them the $$$$ to do.
Pit Bull my A__. She is a “Mad Momma Bear”.
Pity those who chose to slur her children should she have an opportunity to punish them. That could happen.
It is a bold move on her part, but one that may blow up in her face. In the hostile media environment she faces, she can ill afford to put herself, once again, at their mercy.
Sarah was going to be attacked by "hostile" types in and out of the media whether or not she stayed as Governor of Alaska. The attacks never abate completely, but they really intensify every time she appears on the national scene.
These people hate her and everything she represents. She is a threat to them.
There is a war against everything freedom loving Americans hold dear. I think Sarah has joined the battle to defend the country we were bequeathed by our Founders.
She can well expect enemy IEDs along her way. I don't think that will stop her. She has made it through refining fire already,and she has an opportunity now to connect with the American people on her own terms. And, does that scare "them"? You betcha.
Fixed it!
That would be awesome.
It seems that the conservatives like Cheney are starting to rise up and shout. We need statesmen and patriots.
Late this past week Rush made a comment that he was working on a “project” that he couldn’t say anything about right now. Did anybody else hear this?
Probably.
The Bible states that God requites us according to our works and several other verses similar to that. Look at what has happened:
Buckley begins the conservative movement->then the Civil Rights Era is written into law—> then the womens movement.
In 1994 the lifetime of works for conservatives was rewarded;we had our time of glory. Now, blacks like Jesse Jackson are getting their time before they begin dying off. I fully expect the next President to be a woman (strong and capable).
God does not pluck someone like Sarah from obscurity unless there is a purpose. I believe the 49th state will follow the 50th, and I believe Sarah is a person of destiny as Mr. Reagan was.
She will carry the torch and affirm the lifetime of work done by those who dedicated themselves to womans issues.
I say this even though I'm a bit of a chauvinist.
Thanks for listening(reading).
It’s a pretty short piece. Did you read it? Morris is not calling her a “freakin genius”. He’s saying that this decision may blow up in her face.
And if her goal is to run for president in 2012 he’s probably correct. But if her goal is to become an amazing foot-soldier in a war against the left and the media, then he is wrong.
If her goal is to campaign for others and to call the left and the media out on their relentless lies, then she did the exact correct thing.
But it won’t advance her own presidential ambitions, if she has any.
Right. At this point, the conservative movement needs an articulate spokesperson who can rally the troops. Sarah is that person. Now she is unleashed of the liabilities of elected office. She doesn't have to answer to lawyers and constituents any longer.
More than anything, dispirited conservatives need someone to give them hope and give them a voice. Just like Newt in 1994, Sarah can lead conservatives out of the wilderness.
Rush is getting ready to hand over the leadership of the GOP to Sarahcuda.
Rush once said, in reply to a caller, that a real political leader is not found by a party but steps up and identifies himself.
