The only thing that I can say to the Palin detractors on this site is to read this editorial:
http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/518451.html
Particularly this line:
“Palin is the only major political figure in the past 20 years who regularly comes to (Anchorage) Daily News editorial board meetings by herself, with no flunkies or handlers.”
Think about it...she had more confidence in herself, against a hostile media, than anyone else in 2 decades...and she never messed up in those solo inquisitions. Anyone who considers her a lightweight will be bitterly disappointed.
However, you and I both know that Mitt and Huckleberry are going to nail her with this resignation every chance they get.
All their spinning will probably only increase support for Sarah among red-meat, red-state conservatives, but I'm afraid she will lose the support of independents.
Right now this move appears to be one step back and two steps forward. But in the heat of the next set of campaigns this will be spun as one step off a cliff.
“They” had rather sleep with a cottonmouth than hear her name. Fear... fear... fear... and well deserved. + she will only get better and quicker than a cat can lick it’s b*t* with it’s tong out and it’s tail up.

This can’t be overemphasized.
And anyone who considers her a lightweight is a fool.
"One riot, one Ranger". That cinches it, she needs to move to Texas. :)
