What Palin and her family endured doesn't even come close to what McCain and his family went through in 2000. I still think the "illegitimate black child" push poll is the single lowest point in major American political campaigns.

Can't say she doesn't know how to motivate people. It's just that their motivated farther apart. Night all.

I guess if politics and playboy don't work out, she could always give a go at being a Tina Fey impersonator.

If politicians are going to use their families as political props...."oh look at wholesome we are, look at how family oriented I am!"...well, it's like inviting me into your house. Don't be surprised if I start looking around once I'm inside. I may see things you don't want me to see.

Good riddance.

It's funny you say that ... I don't think she did that at all. I'm curious as to why you took it that way.

Don't get me wrong, I personally like Sarah Palin and appreciate her positions, but Mookie said, she showcased her family as part of her credentials (like a lot of pols do). She should not have been surprised to learn that the liberal media has more than it's share of jackasses.

Thank god Reagan was made of sterner stuff than Palin. Can you imagine RR dragging up halfway in his first term as gov of California?

If this stunt is some fancy way of positioning herself for a run at President in 2012, I sure don't support it.

If any sort of scandal erupts in the wake of her quitting she is done.

Probably, but don't discount that many modern Americans seem to have an apparent lack of memory and/or a short attention span.
IF, and thats a big IF, the media should turn against the Democrats for whatever reason, then, yes.. there may be a chance that she can actually make it. It will all depend on how she is displayed in the media and how much support she get from them.

Agreed, Thomen.

Palin could still mount a comeback, because there are plenty in the Republican base who would vote for her based on appeal and rhetoric, on popularity rather than credentials and experience, same as the Dems voted in Obama.

And it's all dependent upon whether the big bad librul media asks her unfair and impossible questions like "what do you read?"
