Heaven help us all.
They are speculating she will run for Pres.. The media ripped her apart and will do it again.
I'd bet she's resigning over something else.
When does she resign from the Planet?
Should help the DYES Palin bashing brigade get their post counts back up.
This thread should be on the "Non Detroit" board.
Two words: Thank GOD! Maybe we won't hear from her again.

She'll be playing basketball, according to her news conference.
Resigning, or quitting if you will, can sometimes be appropriate. For sure I've done it before. A brief scan of some of her comments on this left me a bit unsympathetic however. I wish her well in spite of the fact that I disagree with much of her politics.
Don't feel sorry for Sarah Palin. She apparently has many other opportunities in front of her.

She's a legend in her own mind.
What ever whacked out reason she comes up with as to why she's quitting will no doubt rival Mark Sanford's purple prose.
Makes me realize how she was never McCain's choice, as the recently revealed insider sniping by the campaign told us.
She not only isn't ready for prime time, but never will be, since I don't see her studying for her masters or doctorate in anything relevant to holding national office, which she is incapable of doing at this late stage.
As Ron White says, you can't fix stupid.
Heh, heh,heh!
Jeez, I hope she does run for president.
LOL LOL LOL!
She certainly can't be serious about running in 2012, she's an impossible choice on so many levels. Since she's backed by the Australian fascist, Rupert Murdoch, she'll generate tons of cash for Uncle Rupert, which is the real story here, since his papers will get the frothing Neanderthals that make up the Rethuglican Reich out in force to support her.
I'll guess it's either going to be a talk show [[talking ad nauseum is what she does best) or a traveling 2012 sideshow, which either way will make the moneyed interests behind her very happy, and she'll get rich quick. Sure beats flogging Alaskan economic policy on bureaucrat's wages.
I heard she was moving to Argentina with her boyfriend "Craigd".
She has a shot at 2012 for sure. Remember, 2008 was before Obama socialised and destroyed the country.
Right, Bats. After Bush did such a splendid job:
Attachment 2188
I liked this part:
We're fishermen up here, and fishermen know, only a dead fish goes with the flow.
See? Only Alaskans could possibly understand anything. All the rest of us are hopeless and don't deserve to "get it." What do Alaskans think of their governor now?
For my part, I sympathize with anyone who strays into elected office and attracts the voracious eye of public opinion. There seems to be no end to it, and the negativity is very wearing. Still, if one is unable to take it way up in Alaska, how would she survive as President? You can't turn on the radio without hearing the unending spew of opinion and speculation about what the President is or is not doing. Makes me tired just listening to it for five minutes.
Has a shot?
The only shot she's got comes with Jello.
Or perhaps just before field dressing a moose.
Socialised? I didn't know you were British, Batts.
Gotta love that "socialised" health care we know you enjoy!
S: You are correct. Your entire post [[#53) sums it up!
"...People don't need a credit balance, they need an account balance, from earnings produced making real products with real labor..."
I hope Bats is right. appart from the novelty of that occurence, I can't wait to see Palin try to debate Obama. that would be kinda like watching a pee wee league all-star team go up against the Red Wings
Good grief, did anyone hear her press conference? Is she is on crytal meth or what? STFU already and take a breath! This is the voice of the new conservative movement and new Republican Party? Wow!
She was rambling incoherently all over the place. I see one of two reasons. Somebody has some goods on her ala Sanford, Ensign, Craig, Haggard, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Swaggert... or she has an offer she can't refuse from Fox to be a talking head. Alaska is either too big or too small for her.
"Trust me," she says. Okayyyy. [eye rolling]

I heard it, but I didn't hear anything!!!
She rambled on like minnie mouse on crack.
LOL!!!
I think she must be on crack or meth- probably got some from her daughter's not quite to-be mother in law. Wasilla was/is the meth capital of Alaska, and Alaska is tops in the US.
God, it must be dull living in a place where good sense and politics go to die.
Gosh Lowell, Palin's announcement even brings you out? Thanks for the clip. In watching the clip with the volume turned down, one can see the "aw shucks" etc... is still there, even under these circumstances [[resignation).Good grief, did anyone hear her press conference?

I love the parts where she says "I have explained why" and "I have given my reasons". When the Governor gives a speech like that, doesn't the opposing party get rebuttal time to say something like, "Mrs. Palin, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Lowell, Lowell, Lowell.. Why so blatantly partisan? You named a slew of public figures who had scandals, all of them right-wing. Could you not think of any left-wing ones? Whenever someone focuses on just one side of the aisle, when the situation clearly can apply to both sides, it takes away credibility from the whole message.
Will the much smarter Tina Fey be taking her place?
