It's simple. Think of all the money she is going to make on the lecture circuit. Doesn't matter that she paraded her unwed pregnant daughter all over the country, and now resents that she has become the object of ridicule, or that she has violated her oath as govenor. Money talks. Why did Sarah Palin resign. It's simple. Think of all the money she is going to make on the lecture circuit.

She took the state office and tried to run the state from her home ran into some just criticism, got pulled into the national spotlight drank in all the attention and now that uphill climb to the 2012 nomination must look pretty shaky. Or she is truly delusional- narcisstic and will be back...!

I take this sudden announcement two ways: 1. as an extension of the republican (more specifically, Palin's) presidential campaign or 2. An act of defiance against the new administration--neither of which 'honorable.' Not to mention that Pailn, as a politician, is wholly insubstantial. This announcement is just like her politics: vague, based off -isms, and ruled by 'ethics.' In her world, everything is right and just. Palin can do no wrong. I feel bad for her family but what politician hasn't faced negative press? I don't see the need for exceptionalism. I'm annoyed. I thought we'd see the end of her after this election. A bumper sticker I saw earlier this year sums it all : "America's women have not waited 232 years for sarah plain." This just reeks of strategy.

Have you libs had enough? There were 15 ridiculous ethics charges brought against her by the Libs and all 15 were proven invalid. Leaving the remote state of Alaska to run for president would make sense. Most other politicians including some Senators (Obama, Clinton) dropped their concerns for their state to run for office. I would be happy to consider her as a role model over the likes of Clinton and her political secrets or Palosi and her questionable dealings.

That makes absolutely no sense. "Lame duck" terms are when politicans can get their own agendas accomplished without having to cater to the swing votes to get elected. I could see that believe that she truly believes that this is the best way to prepare for 2012, but leaving mid-term after only 3 years of experience will only lessen her chances even more.

And grace what did the message that Obama sent by not finishing his Senate Post say to the millions of AA children? that you start one job, and not finish it because someone thinks you might do a better job somewhere else? how about if everybody would finish the first position they were elected to before they are able to start a run for another job? Maybe, just maybe she got tired of all the crap she got from the Democrats, and The News Media, I won't mention any stations, because I unlike others here am past all that.

Just imagine how America would be so much better off had she and McCain been elected. Let see, America would have not spent trillions of dollars that we did not have, the government would not be running car business or banking for that matter. We would have had a strong stand on Iran, unlike the wimpy reaction that Obama had. Fear and hate that is all you have to say. Obama is the true fraud, and there is only so much that the media and obamamaniacs can say and do before the true Obama is revealed for his lack of experience and inability.
