My guess is that she really doesn't know what she wants, or who she really is.
It's probably dangerous to admit to a moment of empathy. I'll either get disqualified from ever becoming being a Supreme Court justice or asked to turn in my press card. But after watching reruns of Gov. Sarah Palin's resignation from the governorship, after hearing every grammatically challenged sentence and inconsistent paragraph dissected by some talk show host, I started to (blush) feel her pain.
There was the frozen smile, the vulnerability, the odd grab bag of unfiltered, unedited, unintelligible un-reasons scattered across the lawn. Ms. Palin quit to avoid being a quitter. She cut and run as an act of self-sacrifice. She left her job to serve her country.
It wasn't like watching a car wreck. It was like watching a midlife meltdown. It was seeing her self-image as a strong, confident, ambitious woman shaken to the core. All that was holding her together was chewing gum, family and a little righteous anger.
What had happened to Sarah the Barracuda? The pit bull with lipstick?
The mother of five, moose killer and marathoner who juggled a BlackBerry and a breast pump?
Ten months ago, when John McCain picked her as his running mate, it was like starting a middle-school basketball star in the WNBA. No, the NBA.
As governor, she once remarked about an opponent's ability to spout off facts and figures, "Does any of this really matter?" As running mate, a McCain aide said, she doesn't even know what she doesn't know.
I was among those who harbored the "elitist" belief that a vice presidential candidate should know as much about public policy as, say, Katie Couric.(continued)

My local rag carries her weekly rants;the picture of her they carry with her byline has to be 40 years old-before she kissed that speeding bus.
LOL we used to call them old biddies.
“Women are the most vicious, and liberal women are even worse”
Left wing women took the job of trashing Palin. Modo, Huff Po, etc. They need a does of their own medicine.
I think Palin can come back and be America’s Margaret Thatcher. Success is the best revenge.
There are many, including Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica L., Jennifer Flowers, Linda Tripp, et al., who would agree. Look how they were trashed by their kindred "womyn" because they had to defend their idol Clinton. They were all willing to drop for that scumbag simply because they thought he was preserving their so-called "right" to butcher their own children.
Just another skank jealous of the pretty and popular girl.
“I think she’s been using the pseudonym “Kathleen Parker” for awhile, but decided to take back her old name back because her column started getting cancelled.”

Interesting insight.
The leftists are PISSED that Palin hasn’t given them her itinerary for the next year....so they can prepare their trashing schedules.....speaking of “trashing”....Palin is going to be taking OUT THE TRASH soon, IMHO.
