Why does the source say Charleston Daily Mail when this is just some goofs blog?
How much you wanna bet 98% of Palinistas think it’s real?
She changed the battlefield and now the attackers have to come up with a completely new strategy.
A whole lot of her books were bought as Christmas presents and will be read in the very near future. This will lead to many discussions and millions more books being bought.
This book is Sarah's ‘Mein Kampf’. It establishes who she is and gives people a choice to support her or not. I'm guessing that a very large number of Americans will choose to support her and what she and they believe to be the most desirable future for America.
I just ain’t impressed with your (lack of) knowledge of the law in Alaska, and how she will not be subject to that anomaly while in national office.

Don Surber is a columnist with the Charleston Daily Mail and this is his blog at that newspaper. As far as the "Palinista" snark goes, see my tagline. And, oh, btw, who is your preferred candidate for 2012? Gomer "Revolving Door" Huckleberry or Myth "Romneycare" Romney?

The only reason they got away with it in Alaska was due to the state laws. Most states have different laws that would not have allowed her to be sued to that point. That includes any office in the feds, including the office of President.So what happens next time she annoys some Democrat hacks? They sue, frivolously, and she quits, again?
Like I keep tellin’ FR’s Sara-philes, I just ain’t impressed.Count me as a "Sara-phile" who is aware of the fact that Palin's "good government" cred was not unrelated to ethics reform which she herself naively championed but which opened up the Alaska government to Alinskyite harassment. Recognition of that was one of the things that I looked for, and found, in Rogue.So we have in Palin a late-blooming politician who does not grasp at the perquisites of office and sincerely believes in good government - but is properly chastened by direct personal experience with ethics laws which are open to cynical abuse. I wanted to believe that Palin had learned from her experience, and I am satisfied that she has.
- - - - - - - - - To be realistic about presidential timber, no senator has ever unseated a sitting president, and only one - Harding - has ever defeated a former governor. And no one who has not attained national office within 14 years of attaining a governorship or a senate seat has been elected president.
That of course means that nominating McCain, Kerry, or Dole was a fool's errand from the start. And that realistic Republican candidates for the presidency can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And none stands taller than Palin. The unconstitutional "Campaign Finance Reform laws" disadvantage a Sarah Palin or a Ronald Reagan (who wouldn't have run for office if McCain-Feingold had been in effect at the time). So I say, we shouldn't wait for her to declare candidacy - we need serious a "Draft Palin" movement.
“YOU BETCHA!” Her quote.
Mine: Damn Tootin’!

Obviously you don’t understand the government and the legal system in Alaska. Alaska is one of few states where the governor is on his/her own in defending themselves against charges of ethics violations.
You might wish to become better informed before casting stones. Just saying.
Care to tell us whom you support (perhaps Mitt)? Didn't think so.
I need to read her book (wild horses couldn’t pay me to read any politician’s book), I need to do more research, I don’t understand Alaskan law, etc. Is that it?
Maybe Sarah should have read a book or two. Maybe she should have done more research before swearing an oath to govern Alaska. Had she understood Alaskan law better, maybe she’d have known better, or maybe she’d have been prepared for frivolous ethics charges and a lawsuit-bankcruptcy attack from Democrat hacks? Just like she might have done a little more reading and listening (and thinking?) and been better prepared for attack interviews from Gibson and Couric?
And y’all still aren’t answering my question. What happens next time she annoys some Democrat hacks? They find a new, frivolous angle to sue, frivolously, and a frivolous Democrat judge frivolously sees merit in the case? And she’s not as prepared as she might have been, and didn’t expect such hatred and viciousness, and, for the sake of her family and of the voters of America, she quits, again? Wagerers, what odds will you give me?
Thanks to those who’re trying, politely and rationally, to show me where I’m wrong, and to those few who aren’t so polite or rational, thanks for the CAPITAL-LETTER internet yelling and for the asterisk-ized swearing. Sarah’s people is as Sarah’s people does, hayna?
First, this wasn't just "annoying some democrat hacks", this was an all out war to destroy her coming from the bowels of the Soros led DNC. They took advantage of the Alaskan laws beyond anything done before. It was purposeful in its attempt to take her down, and vicious beyond anything I've ever seen in politics to date. It paralyzed the state, and destroyed the Palin family financially, making it impossible to get anything done other than respond to mindless and frivolous complaints. Did you know that eventually every complaint was dismissed outright?
Now, she could have folded her tent by remaining as gov, taken her salary and finished her term as you suggest she should have done. Instead, she stepped aside for the sake of the state of Alaska, then took on a wonderful role as a critic of the democrat machine. In that role she has excelled, and has hit the mark weekly. The icing on the cake is that they can't go after her anymore with the same tactics cause she can now sue the crap out of them.
“or maybe she’d have been prepared for frivolous ethics charges and a lawsuit-bankcruptcy attack from Democrat hacks?”
You are blaming her for the maggots who attack her? Odd.
She threatens the status quo; that’s why she is attacked. If she was defender of the status quo; the attacks would be polite and minor.
Well said.
Kind of a Sarah Palin thing, don'tcha know. ;)
If two people agree all the time, one of them is lying. I do agree that the self edited sw&@ring and the CAPS LOCK YELLING! do become tiresome.
I continue to be impressed with SP as I learn more about her. She seems to be learning quite quickly. I still have not chosen who to support in a race that has no official candidates yet, but if it was demanded of me today, she is the only real conservative whose name I see everyday. I wrote in Duncan Hunter in Nov, and voted for him in the primary, though he was out of the race by the time we in AZ got to vote. I would do it all again if he throws his hat in.
I would be interested to know who you choose come time. But beware, you will be subject to the same criticism you so willingly submit here.
