Still not sure how she is going to spin the quitter aspect.

I understand the why, but at the end of the day, it is a darn easy bumper sticker that needs a lot more than a sound bite to dismiss.

She quit. That’s it.

The quitter label will fall away for most people because of what she’s doing now and continues to do.

Anyone who will watch her will see she’s all in to defend this country against the attacks of the hard left. They’ll see her land blows. They’ll see her campaigning for conservatives.

Reality will stand in the face of the notion that Palin is a quitter.

Nice try, troll! Spread the liberal talking points...

There are now 894,653 FaceBook supporters, that's up 60,000 in two weeks alone...

... It's pretty insane - my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with THIS instead of progressing our state now. I know I promised no more "politics as usual," but THIS isn't what anyone had in mind for ALASKA.

If I have learned one thing: LIFE is about choices!

And one chooses how to react to circumstances. You can choose to engage in things that tear down, or build up. I choose to work very hard on a path for fruitfulness and productivity. I choose NOT to tear down and waste precious time; but to build UP this state and our country, and her industrious, generous, patriotic, free people!

Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow".

Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow".

No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP.

And there is such a need to BUILD up and FIGHT for our state and our country. I choose to FIGHT for it! And I'll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE... I'll work for and campaign for those PROUD to be American, and those who are INSPIRED by our ideals and won't deride them.

I WILL support others who seek to serve, in or out of office, for the RIGHT reasons, and I don't care what party they're in or no party at all. Inside Alaska - or Outside Alaska.

But I won't do it from the Governor's desk. ... -Sarah Palin, 7/3/09

The quitter label will fade as the public learns more about her. The hate-fest from the left isn’t sustainable, just like the love-fest for Obama isn’t.

Additionally, far better to quit and fight battles from a better field, than take a pay-check, fail to do the job for which you were hired, while preferring to campaign incessantly for the big job in the White House. To me at least, her quitting was a voluntary, honorable discharge.

“She quit. That’s it.”

Would you rather she do an 0bama, whereby she'd continue to collect her salary at tax payers expense, even while she spends 2 years campaigning all across the country, while not doing the work for which she was getting paid?

to post 8 - What exactly is there to "spin"?? And fyi - one doesn't get "spin" from Mrs. Palin, but only the facts of the matter.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Still not sure how she is going to spin the quitter aspect.

She doesn't have to spin it because it doesn't exist, only in the minds of her rabid detractors.

A "quitter" doesn't get 1,000 speaking invitations, continuous media coverage, and be at the top of hypothetical presidential matchups.
