BO wasn't in the Senate when he dropped out to campaign. She has so much more experience and accomplishments than he did.

I just would like everyone to notice how serene and confident conservatives are on these posts, and how fearful, desperate and angry liberals are....I mean they control the entire government and economy now...what's the worry? Unless deep down you know you messed up and actually are in more of a quandary about the leadership you have put in place....fess up.

I would love to see Americans, who are tired of the Leftist Regime on both the Republican and Democratic agenda start a 3rd party, a Conservative party, The TEA Party come in set the nation on the path back to recovery. Small Government, support for US Industrial base, National Security and Fiscal Responsibility. Palin 2012

the only problem with a 3rd party is the regime that both republicans and democrats hold over politics...everytime a candidate for a 3rd party pops up...98% of the mainstream media brings them down...and small government is how we got where we are today, our industrial base needs to be rebuilt...and not "outsourced"...our security is sound...we are the nation that started a war for no reason...but all that doesn't matter if we don't have leaders that don't do their first criteria on the presidents oath of office..."to protect and uphold the constitution of the united states"...without that...we are nothing...and everything we do...is nothing...

I think it was pretty smart of her to resign now. She becomes a private citizen and is protected from the democrats and lefties who will try to slander her (bad move on there part if they try it) They'll have to leave her alone for 2 years. Yep pretty smart.

Iowegian,
Why so much anger ?
You and your liberal friends should be "happy" in this case
because by your posts you believe you won a victory here.......
Or do you..........
I read, I think about what I've read and then after some thought
I digest it.
I'll tell you what, I hear a lot, A LOT, of anger and fear coming
from the left. Fear of Sarah and not knowing what she's up to.
I've read no real reason for all the seething anger, but it sure
is obvious. Actually, comical.
The lefts anger blinds them, therefore they didn't notice what may have been
the most brilliant end run around the dem's in political history.
MSNBC, CBS, ABC, & the liberal media can't figure her out so they
they make fools of themselves making stuff up.
She's got the left mad, she's got me laughing.....................at you !

James Wolcott blogs about the absurdity of Palin suggesting she can do more for Alaska by quitting her job as its governor in a recent excellent post:
(http://www.vanityfair.com/online/wolcott/2009/07/im-watching-sarah-palin...)
Perfect summary of her desire to be a celebrity at the expense of her constituents:
-
"Perhaps she plans to attend Michael's funeral at the Staples Center and see what she can do there for Alaska."

Since you are overseas, Hitler also rings a bell and he had a hatred for liberalism. He had a rough start up in 1924 but unfortunately became popular later.

I don't understand how these people say she's "abandoning" her state, when it's been a well thought out plan. If there were no Lt. Gov. I would be concerned. I have more respect for someone who knows when to do the right thing and not waste much needed money, than the fat cats who would sit there and collect their paycheck no matter how much it's costing the taxpayers. As far as I'm concerned she's doing the right thing now. Whether it benefits her in the long run, we'll see in time. I know that whatever she chooses to do, she will be successful.

I think Sarah Palin is getting ready for a much greater role to bring "greatness" back to the USA. The critisim of her leaving office being a "huge misstake", I say look at Barack, he did the same thing. I believe the "left" is scared of her and will try anything to bring her down. I am with Sarah Palin 100%, and I will do anything to move her forward!

It's her manner of speech that many find hard to fathom and use to attack her intellect. But you are right about her family. History has shown many have gone on to victory after losing or in her case resiging. This is not the end. It's a new beginning, taking an avenue not usually considered as effective. That's OK, she's not leaving politics and she will be a loud voice for the principles of conservative America

I was elated to see Sarah Palin clarify her future ambitions. It seems to me that she is giving herself to unite the people of the U.S. in a bipartisan way if necessary to save us from this loss of "freedom" from the left. She has the ability to draw thousands and if her message is to take back our country, she could care less about being President. At the moment we have noone except those on Fox news that are speaking out about our loss of freedom. If she gives herself to the country to energize people to get out and vote for a change in Congress, we just might have a chance to keep our freedom.
