Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Gee, I hope her quitting isn’t going to alienate the press....
Here’s the url to Stone’s blog that had been crashed earlier today due to Drudge link to it: http://stonezone.com/
I think he’s right about her move and chances, but an FNC show is not the solution: too many independents will write her off and not listen. Maybe a combo of regular appearances via radio, print and TV would do it.
right thinking.
I guess his website finally came back up after the onslaught from Drudge!
Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.
The Beltway bozos just don’t get it and they never will. Sara will be the voice of the conservative movement, in whatever capacity she chooses. As a mother, I would not have allowed the moonbat left to bankrupt me and trash my family either - governor or not! This gal is going to surprise everyone, just wait and see!
After a long time, she will be the first President FROM the people. Note that she refers to herself as a public servant, not a politician.
The few.
The proud.
The politicos that get it.
Guess we will never educate some of the bloggers here. She did not quit, she resigned.
Sarah has earned my respect too. If she had stayed on, costing the Alaskan taxpayers more of their hard earned dollars in defending the Governor’s office from these baseless charges, I would consider her just another oily politician, more interested in the power of the office, and her political future.
By resigning, she shows that she does care about Alaska, that she doesn’t see her political career more important than her constituents’ rights and those of her family.
She didn’t quit. She will outsmart the rats in the long run, just wait and see.
“Stone likens Palin’s decision to step down from the Alaska governorship to that of Richard Nixon, who in 1962 “got fed up with being called Tricky Dick, got fed up with being the man that nobody would buy a used car from, and fed up by the constant assault on his values and his middle-class background by the liberal media,” he says.
“So, in 1962 he did what Sarah Palin just did –– he quit politics. Six years later he was inaugurated as President of the United States.”
This was my first reaction when I heard she resigned. Nixon spent the next four years raising money for R’s all over the country. By the time 1968 rolled around, everyone in the party owed him big time. Palin can do the same thing with her drawing power.
There’s a parallel to Reagan also. Reagan spent his years out of office establishing who he was to the public. It takes a long time for a charismatic conservative to establish a public identity (other than Satan incarnate) over the screaming of the old media.
There is a fate about Sarah. She is important. The comdemlibs can sense it, fear it...like the Temple priests did of that bumpkin named Jesus. A digest of her first 8 months is remarkably similar to , say, Luke. She is tested, mocked, feared, prosecuted, persecuted. She is 'crucified' a little. Some would like to see her dead. They have said it. I have heard it. Things appear bleak to many. She may be the conservative political 'one', or someone making the way for a 'one'. Or a prophet, scorned in her own nation, reminding us to keep what we have...or inspire us to remember, for a day when we have opportunity to be as we once were.
Do not worry. Send contributions directly to her campaign manager. Look up. Pray. Believe. God's calling the shots on this. It's amazing to witness.
“Palin has now freed herself to cultivate that base, but more importantly, to go on television, Stone says, noting working in a packaged, controlled environment will help correct public misperceptions of her.”
The packaged, controlled environment sure helped 0bama get elected!
I remember listening to Reagan’s radio commentaries during the Carter adminstration, before syndicated political talk radio. They helped turn me from a young, naive lefty to a nationalist/libertarian Reagan voter in 1980.
There’s no way this will propel her to the WH in 2012 and anyone who really thinks that is seriously delusional IMHO.
Look she earned my respect too but she was elected to do a job and she’s abandoning it. It’s not going to get any easier for her (or her family) if she tries to get back in the ring.
Politics is a dirty nasty business but you know that when you step into the arena.
“There’s no way this will propel her to the WH in 2012 and anyone who really thinks that is seriously delusional IMHO.”
We shall see, won’t we.
How is she "abandoning" her job when she can't do it thanks to the ethics probes? She should just keep fighting them and waste even more tax dollars? By then in 2010 they'll just say "scandal-plagued Governor of Alaska". She has nothing to lose by stepping down and handing the state over to someone else.
