She isn't cut out for politics. I am so surprised she really gave up so quickly. She has only held office for a few short years and can't handle the heat of politics. And the other side thought she had more experience??????

I swear, an much as this woman makes me ill, I love a good mystery! Good thing she wasn't leading the Israelites out of harms way! Couldn't make four years, much less forty!

Pregnant! I hope not!

The blogger at BlueOasis Linda.... Raised the 6,000.00 she needed to get the emails.... I wonder if that's what unnerved her.

The DNC issued this statement in response:

"Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can't handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down. Either way – her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today."

Boss Limbaugh has had his nose stuck up her butt for the last 10 months. Now what is he going to do to keep his nose warm?

He'll take more pills

I was surprised by the announcement ,too.
I wondered
1) Is there a scandal coming? She didn't appear nervous- mostly excited
2) Is she ill? She looked healthy & happy and earlier this week she said she could outrun Obama.
3)Does she have an alternate plan- she teased with more to come hints.

So I think it is # 3- some special plan/idea of her own to make her top Republican for 2012.I don't know that she'll succeed but I think she is excited about whatever it is.

Talk show host- maybe
Lobby for an oil company or pharmaceutical company-maybe.
Write a book and try to do the speech circuit to rasie big bucks-maybe.
Start some grassroots group or her own party(the Palin Party)-maybe.

She promised to come back and tell more about the votes she got from her family on this new plan- 3 yes & 1 hell yes.

She said she wants to help the people of Alaska and people outside of Alaska ,too. She will tell more about that later. Maybe she will head the Secession states and wants to be declared Queen.

I can see her portrait now-Queen Palin mounted on a polar bear with a seal hunting spear in her right hand and oil can in her left-oil poluted water at her feet and some of those dead/floating fish she referenced in her speech.

Can you make a crown out of a basketball?

Sure if you use a hoop and the net....

As a Demo who voted for Obama....what I'm about to say hurts, and I'm going to gargle my mouth and sanatize my fingers when finished....lol...But I've always believed tha Palin is smarter than her opponents think. This could be the beginning of her run for 2012. Palin is smarter than many Demos think. She is now free of the Repub machine. She can go it alone her way...with her supporters. And once her book is published, she'll be making many many speaking engagements in the midwest and south....saying what she wants and no caring about the media or those Repubs who wanted to put a clamp on her. The Demos better not underestimate her. It's the Repubs who messed up during the campaign in using her. She wasn't properly prepared and the McCain people didn't respect her. And I have to admit, those comments by David Letterman didn't help the Demos. She should not be ignored. I'm not crazy about her, but I thought this was a smart move. As a life long Demo who has worked on many campaigns, what always pissed me off was the Demos taking things for granted. They took they 'religious right' for granted and lost. They took the 'silent majority' for granted and lost. Demos need to stop the negative criticism, keep their mouth shut...and concentrate on the economy, unemployment and healthcare....while keeping an eye on Palin...and her supporters. I believe there is a plan, maybe even a third party plan. Obama won because he offered something different. Those who think Palin is stupid...well she also offers something different for independents. Many independents were voting against Bush's politices, not so much for Obama. She'll also be going afterthe youth vote. There's a lot of young right wingers out there like Sean Hannity. Don't take Palin for granted. And...some may disagree...her and Obama are similar in many way, even though they are on different ends of the spectrum. Both come from working class families. Both are rather new to politics. Both have different styles from previous politicians. She'll be going after the female and independent voters. If the economy doesn't turn around during Obama's term, the Demos are in trouble. Right now there's no Repub to lead the party...they are divided in many ways and many are having problems keeping their pants on...lol. But those midwestern states will be watching and listening. And the Demos better not underestimate her. They should stop the negative criticism....but keep an eye on her. Listen to what she's saying. When she said 'politics not as usual'...she's not the usual politican. She didn't want to play the McCain game or the Repubs game. Like those who voted for Obama and wanted a fresh voice....many find Palin a fresh voice too. So I say to the Demos and my fellow liberals.....don't underestimate her....and only criticize her when you know she's made a mistake...and leave her family out of it. How many of you have had a daughter who had a baby out of wedlock????.............Spit spit spit spit.....damn that was nasty...where's my Listerine.....lol. (wipping my mouth)....I know many will disagree....but this is how I see it.
