Palin quits

[AngusJS]

Look at the timing of the announcement - on a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend in a news-filled week. Is she trying to make as few waves as possible because of some scandal we don't know about?

Pure speculation, but what she's done and said doesn't make much sense.

Not that she's ever been known for clear thinking.

And look at the time our Democratic lead congress passes thier bills much after close of business on fridays... that is a poor argument.

So what is the embezzlement story involving the Wassila sports complex and Palin ?
Upcoming Federal indictments maybe?

Well at least her impersonator can take a break for awhile!

I read the budget has become tight in the state of Alaska. Maybe she runs while there still is time.

Sarah who?

I would go with what Torplexed believe she will do.

This move actually makes ALOT of sense if she intends to return to politics.

She has a lot of legal bills from the trash that has tried to smear her, so getting out of the office to go do some speeches and such will solve that. Kind of like Bill Clinton does. Now, once the bills are paid, then its money in the bank - to start a campaign with. Being away from public office, but speaking, lets her focus and communicate her views, without the widespread media attention. She can create her grass roots movements, get a platform established, then be "dragged" into running out of a sense of service. This move actually looks like some prep for 2012.

Oh - for those that want to make fun of her - she sure made the current VP look like a moron in their debate - so you might want to be careful what you throw.

As for her being a pitbull and tough - the woman won the governorship of Alaska - you don't win something like that unless your tough as nails and sharp as glass. Funny how people deride her, yet she has been successful in many ways.

And please- ask her why she "left office' early if she runs again. She actually answered that at length when she announced her decision to not run again - but of course all some here is "blah blah blah" because they already have an opinion based on preconception. Pity.

You must have watched a different debate. The one I saw was a draw, which IIRC, was the general consensus. That, or a personal win for Palin for managing to prevent another disaster after those interviews, where she showed herself to be a moron.

She is not simply declining to run again. She is leaving office before her term expires. This has not been adequately explained, but I suspect the reasons, whatever they may be, will become evident soon enough.

And you, CaptainHalpo, are no different in this regard.
