Sounds like another 4 years for Obama, if she wins the Republican nomination for the next election.

Give it a day or two, something always turns up. Oh wait, Manny Ramirez.

You? :03:

I am sure she had her reasons, not that it really matters, tho.

SteamWake 07-03-09 04:37 PM

Cant really say that I blame her.

Sure, but problem is, I don't have a president. You can be chancellor, tho. :up:

Yeah, I'll bet.

Thisd reminds me of the old joke about the Soviet who emigrated to the U.S. He walks into the immigration office, and the official begins processing his application for admission.
Out of curiosity, the official asks the man "How was life in the Soviet Union?"
To this, the man replies "I could not complain"
More interested now, the official asks "How was work in the USSR?"
Again, the man replies "I could not complain"
Even more interested, the offical asks "What was wrong with the Soviet Union?"
Yet again, the man replies "I could not complain"
Finally, the official asks "Why did you even bother to leave the Soviet Union if everything was so great!?"
To this, the man replies "Aha! Here I can complain!"

She's had it with the lies, insults, and baseless accusations from the left. I can't say I blame her for putting her family before the junk. She doesn't have the left's political class mentality.

Onkel Neal 07-03-09 11:14 PM

If that's the case, she better forget about running in 2012. As far as I'm concerned, she just shot her political foot off.

I think she has and won't look back. She is an American hero because she knows what is important.

Does anyone know how hard it is to give-up the highest elected office in a state for something else?

This woman knows whats right and wrong.

I'm betting she runs for congress in 2010, both the house and senate are up for Alaska. I think her goal in quitting now is to be able to hit the pre-campaign trail, start raising money, write a book, do the sideshow circuit, all without being accused of neglecting the Governor's office.

Ack! I've had it with the lies, insults, and baseless accusations from the left AND right. I never liked her, but I don't like witch hunts either.

Politicians are a breed apart and she's shown she's not up to the job, but I also don't blame her as it's pretty dog eat dog. I can actually respect her some now. :o

Sheesh, that's almost a lyric.
