Palin quits - Page 3

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I hope Ms Palin can find something she can handle while at the same time handling the issues with her family.

At least I can look forward to her fanbase getting warmed up, don'tcha know!

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.

Time for the indigenous people to take back Alaska.

And Rush doesn't sully himself with similar drivel? It is and seemingly will always be part of the deal.

As far as what I'd do? I'd never run in the first place.

LOL and she and her family were treated with kid gloves

She and her family were treated no worse than McCain and his family were when he ran for the Republican nomination against GW.

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.

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.

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

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.
