People saying Sarah quit are misinformed. She has just moved on.
If you want football metaphors, she has just intercepted a pass and turned the game around.

And elitism stems from the same source of all ideological error - the falsehood that man’s nature is “basically good”.
I agree. We need legal reform and tort reform. We should adopt a loser pays rule like they have in most other countries. But as it stands now, she can’t sue to recover those bills. She is an honest and fiscally conservative person. She and her family can’t stand to have those huge bills hanging over them. Now she will be able to pay them off...and be free to attack Obama without fear of additional complaints. Good for her.
Well, there is also the twilight struggle between believers and godless atheism, which fuels the battle between elites and common folk, but is occluded by it.
There’s an old phrase that applies here. Sarah Palin has “crossed the Rubicon”, a phrase that started when Julius Caesar left his assigned province and essentially declared war on the Roman senate.
Once you have made a commitment to go against the accepted authority, there will be all sorts of people who will abandon and deride you, and even start to work against you, even if they say they want the same end result. I believe she has a firm commitment in her mind that the rest of us will find out about soon enough. I believe she’s acting on a strong faith in her beliefs and goals and deserves a lot of credit for doing things she knows are going to draw fire. She has committed irrevocably to her cause, which is more than can be said for most Republicans in office right now.
And my term for the Elitists—both Leftists and RINOs—is “CALLOW SHALLOWS.”
What makes anyone think the communists will stop trying to destroy her just because she has stepped out of office? I heard a whiff of a story about a mega lawsuit by Palin on the news this morning. I think she NEEDS to go on the offensive and start destroying those who have been attacking her through her kids.
Also, when you step out in the service of God, Satan and his minions target you more than ever. That’s what we’re seeing with the “special attention” that she’s getting from the earthly minions on the left.
If you want football metaphors, she has just intercepted a pass and turned the game around.

And the play is being reviewed on instant replay. We don’t know what this means yet.
In fact, maybe it’s time to update the phrase to “crossing the Yukon”.
Sarah has the potential to redefine conservatism and the Republican party in much the same fashion as Reagan. The elitists at this point believe if they can trick the rubes into believing the only way for the Republican party to survive is to return to the Rockefeller model they will completely control the politcal landscape. They know someone like Palin has the ability to completely wreck their plans, hence the fear and open contempt.
They said Babe Ruth giving up pitching was a dumb move too.
For all their cries of how irrelevant she is, we’ll see just how irrelevant she is by how much they continue to attack her.
He nailed it. I said this on another thread that Palin is much more of a danger to the left now that she can essentially move freely and deliver a message of her choosing - not one hampered by the GOP mouthpieces du jour.
Yes, MrB.
Palin Presidential Campaign Slogan:
"I won't quit this time. Honest."
Palin Presidential Resignation Speech:
"I haven't really quit. I'm just moving on."
Fair is fair.
quoth the elitist, making the author’s point
Yes, bigbob—Elitists of BOTH (all) political stripes. On the right it really is broader than just the RINOs, (as I previously wrote,) it’s Elitism of all stripes, like you said.
