but but but Andrea Mitchell said her friends said she was calling it quits/s

the “resignation” speech took several detours that showed it was more than just resignation,

anyone who watched her deliver the speech knew she was not going away

what a bunch of media pinheads and all their BS wishful thinking analysis

"To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as 'fact' that Governor Palin resigned because she is 'under federal investigation' for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation," Van Flein said in a statement.

"This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law."

YEEEHAAA!

“the controversial hockey mom”

Ah, perhaps the AP missed the chapter about her being elected the governor of Alaska. One would think that they would refer to her as the “controversial governor of Alaska” instead.

“Palin also cast herself as a victim and blasted the media, calling the response to her announcement “predictable” and out of touch.”

You betcha!

Bulls-eye!!! As a private citizen once again, the governor can sue all the anklebiters and MSM enablers for libel and defamation of character. Tables turned!

In giving up the perks of power, Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin proves that she is no ordinary politician.

Powerful politicians, in other than egregious situations, seldom give up such power.

This is what happened:

Sarah had a road-to-Damascus type of epiphany. She's always known about the tremendous grassroots support for her, but she thought it had more to do with her supporters than herself. It suddenly occurred to her that she is IT -- the "IT Girl", on whose shoulders lies an immense historical responsibility regarding the United States. And instead of saying "Why me?", she's stepping up to the plate saying "Why not me?"

This is the opposite of zerobama's relation to his own destiny. In a revealing statement at the demRat convention during the campaign, he told the crowd, "What my critics don't understand is that it has nothing to do with ME. This is all about YOU!" Meaning, I suppose, that he understood that he was simply a blank slate on which his supporters were projecting everything.

It's the opposite with Sarah. It's all about her -- she was the one who didn't realize it, thinking (mistakenly, if innocently), that it was all about her grassroots supporters. When she finally "got it," it must have completely blown her away! That's why, on rewatching the videotape of her speech, I perceive a suppressed excitement or "drive" in her. She's resigning her job as governor, but she herself is not resigned.

We're all lucky to be witnessing this. I think in the next few months we're going to see some amazing things.

I posted this yesterday on another thread...

=========

We are all working our own part of the battlefield... but went you see another element on the other end of the line make a move ..know the difference if their maneuvering, retreating or surrendering

Palin has resigned before to break out and maneuver...

She made her political name on the Alaska Oil and Gas board bumping heads with the party...She did a very high profile resignation where again, she was supposed to be "done"

Then she bypassed the party system and did a grass root guerrillas movement against the system all the way in to the governor's office

Is that whats going to happen this time?... don't know... but she had done this same head fake before...

The key I think to watch for is if she comes down in to the lower 48 as a very hi profile independent advocate for Alaska oil and gas and against cap and trade.. it's the logical door.. it give her a very legitimate platform to attack Obama, while being seen as doing her higher duty for Alaska...and to not to being seen as just attacking Obama with no reason.

Their was one other little odd tell this week.. a story headline, "Palin: If I ran against Obama, I would beat him" Turns out this was a story about real running but Palin in the story was clearly playing with the double meaning of her words in the story... saying she had the long term endurance to beat Obama in a run....odd trash talk from some one that was planning to give up at the end of that same week

Grassroots = Sarah Palin
Astroturfing = B. Hussein

One’s the real deal.

I don’t know whether she really had that powerful a change in insight. I suspect that the continuing crowds who greet her in small towns across the country, and continuing interest in the agenda she brings to the table have been a constant affirmation instead of an epiphany. You are definitely right about the “Why not me” and your contrasting her with Dear Leader.

Her family is a higher calling. Could be that’s all she meant.

“As a private citizen once again, the governor can sue all the anklebiters and MSM enablers for libel and defamation of character.”

She’s still a “public figure”, and that is the standard the courts use. She would have to prove “actual malice” to collect, not just falsehood. No problem at all if the jury is made up of Freepers!
