Outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday laid the groundwork to take on a larger, national role after leaving state government, citing a "higher calling" with the aim of uniting the country along conservative lines. A day after surprising even her closest friends by announcing she would step down as Alaska governor more than a year before her term was up, the controversial hockey mom was still keeping details of her future plans under wrap.

Good for her. The Far-Left has been using the laws of the land against us, it's about time we started playing the same game.
Gman
At this point I would vote for her JUST because I despise the media so much.
A lot of voters feel the same way.
Besides, can we get any worse than we have in the White House now?
biblegunclinger
No we cant get any worse. The real issue is will we still have a country a year from now. I dont think so.

FYI, He has already sent his lawyers out to petition the retraction of the 22nd amendment. This amendment was created to stop presidents from serving more than 2 terms.

I BELEIVE SHE WILL TRAVEL THE 50 STATES AND DRUM UP MONEY AND SUPPORT FOR THE CONSERVATIVES THAT FIT HER BILL FOR THER 2010 CONGESSIONAL SWITCHOVER. AFTER THE RESULTS OF 2010 AND THE FEEDBACK ON THE IMPACT THAT SHE HAD ON THE 2010 ELECTIONS, THAT WILL BE THE FUEL THAT TELLS HER TO ,OR NOT TO, RUN IN 2012.

She did NOT quit in my book. Like she said she did what she could in Alaska, but since all the attacking she's been stonewalled with all the BS progressive politics.So Now she has a much bigger fight to Fight. She is waking America up to what it really needs Values, Principles, Morals, and the real CHANGE we are not getting now.

What would happen if you walked away from your post?Your Drill Sargeant was riding your but in Basic,but,you didnt quit.You persevered,you kept on going.I would like a look at the dictionary that you use and see its meaning of quiter.If she became President,dont you think she will continue to receive the same criticism?Wake up!She's a quiter,SemperFi

There is no comparison between the Militay and civilians. A soldier that quits usually goes AWOL and there are serious consequences for that kind of "quitting"

Barry O just milked the state of Illinois for the last two years he was in the Senate and running for President. She understands that 's the wrong thing to do. She knows what is right and usually does what is right. We can't say that about most of our elected officials. GO SARAH!

Yes you can look @ it that way......but..
If you got stuck in the mud, (and there was mud being throw from both sides) and you could not get out. Unless someone comes along to help (didn't see too much of that from even her own party or state for that matter) you eventually have to get out and walk.

For you to ask that question let's me believe you been reading the prgressive history books. Let me guess you support the troops but not the war?
I have NO regrets for serving my country, and I have no regrets for defending the freedoms that give you the right to come in here and throw your mud.

Semper and USMC you look familiar come here often? I am also known as PO, I'm thinking the Republicans have let her hang and she's P.O.ed at them. The Democrats have just proved to be the rats that they are. The only place Sarah fits and fits well is with the TEA Party, Conservative, Independent Silent-No-More Majority! It's a new day guys. Sarah knows how to get the job done. She's a strong, determined, smart woman and she's on a mission. And she's got a following.

Nah I'm fairly new here. Just starting to find my voice and you can say I'm pretty po'd too.

Sarah Palin has been attacked by the media and the left (and some of the right) since she came onto the scene. Nobody has been attacked the way she has. She has them scared. Further more, until her reasons are known, everything that is said is pure speculation.
I don't think this has hurt her chances for running for president in 2012 or 2016. I like it that she is unconventional..not like others in Washington that don't have brains anymore.

Personally, I think that she has BIG plans in store ( :)) . She resigned in order to be able to plan them and carry out the building of infrastructure without being in the spotlight (ie under the radar). That is the only way that ANY republican will be able to plan a strategy and implement it because all of the IDIOCRATS (dems) and MOST of the media would attempt to systematically tear apart any legitimate threat to their quest for bigger government control and their shift toward socialism. Palin is taking the right approach, an ambush, that will take the socialists by surprise. Before the end of the year, the government will control much more than GM, Chrysler, and those too big to fail. Sarah Palin, in my opinion, is a God loving person that is closer to the people than ANY other person in government today.GO SARAH. We should all be behind her.
NWLeftie
Run Sarah run!!!!! She is far too big and important to stay cooped up in little ol Alaska.
So what do you think will happen first, her own tv show on FOX or, another run at the beauty queen gig? It's really hard to believe you support a quitter and throw everyone (including your heros Rove and Crystal) under the bus for speaking their mind. And to think the Dems are afraid of her is just preposterous. She is the gift that keeps on giving!

I don't think anyone but Sarah Palin knows what she is going to do next. Some want to say she will go home to be a mother, others sure hope that what she will do. I pray she comes to the forefront as a voice for those of us that want this Country back. She's not a Washington insider, and she could lead the charge for real change in our Government. Unlike the change we got with the current Administration. Please Sarah, Run with us!
WhoCaresMedia
You people are nuts if you think Palin is a serious candidate for president. This “cut & run” move will be used against her by REPUBLICANS in the primaries, nevermind the general election.
Look, as a center-leaning Democrat who would actually like to see a viable GOP to challenge the unbridled leftists in control of Washington, I think your only real choice at the moment is to draft Rick Perry. This is a man who is running a surplus in his state during a recession, and cut taxes while doing it. He’s a true fiscal conservative (not fake fiscal conservative like most of the spendthrift GOP in Washington since the 90’s) and a social conservative; most importantly, unless some new story breaks, he is not an adulterer (Sanford), has been (Gingrich) or quitter (Palin).

She may not make it into office, but what I do know is that She can really bring out the American Spirit in many people. Wake them up, Sarah, wake em all up!

Why do you keep referring to this dead Japanese admiral? He woke us up and we shot his butt down in 1943. Do you want Americans to wake up and attack America? What do you expect from a grunt? Hey is that P-38.............

Right on I agree as she did wake alot of people up in this last election. She has my vote for the next one. She has even gotten my 2 college kid's interested in all this and has their votes as well.

Actually, the FBI has already came out said that they ARE NOT or have NOT investigated her, and that there has been no reason to investigate her thus far. You are believing rumors written by a blogger that was sourced by the Huff post and NYTimes.

All the left can do is attack Sarah personally, here is waht Obozo is bringing us.
High debt and taxation for generations to come, Cap & Trade legislation that destroys capitalism and initiative, establishing a government run healthcare system that the vast majority of us do not want, failure to protect our borders,
failure to maintain relationships with our international partners, establishing a bureaucratic structure of Czars to avoid congressional oversight, Intent to use a racially biased and legally questionable group of organizations to administer the census, adding language or additions to bills with no time to be reviewed, obviously politically motivated dismissal of inspection and oversight individuals, government and union ownership of GM and Chrysler.
and an obvious disregard for the wishes of “We the People”.
