    OMG, we just watched the "highlights" of her speech on CNN.

    I'd like to think she's going away, but she'll probably turn up on Fox News.

    I actually DID watch it, I'm embarrassed to say. :oops:

    You know, like you rubberneck at a car wreck. She was all over the place explaining why she was a good point guard and knew when to pass the ball and it wasn't going to be politics as usual anymore. :? :shock:

    Her timing seems a little strange. Friday of a holiday weekend? The story will get a lot less play although I'm sure she's still going to get her share of attention. :roll:

    Hahaha. She talks about not quitting then she quits. She's a QUITTER. If every governor was like her they would quit right after being reelected so they wouldnt be a lameduck politician. What a joke. If she is the Republican frontrunner for President then that party is in serious trouble.

    I've got to find her speech now, after reading these replies.

    Perhaps she thinks that her news will trump Michael Jackson news? ;)

    Yeah, she's quitting politics entirely. Couldn't handle the "political bloodsport". And though the media has been brutal and especially unkind to her kids, most of the criticism of her is deserved, and she just couldn't hack it. I say there's a zero percent chance of her running for President. She said she wants to affect change outside of government - i.e. something like working for a PAC that collects money from old ladies at bingo games so they can yell and scream about abortion or 'protecting' marriage.

    if in fact she does run for president i am predicting right now that she will not make it past the super tuesday in 2012. the other GOP candidates are going to use everything in their arsenal against her and i think there are a lot of skeletons in her closet that are going to be brought out in the national campaign if she runs for the top-of-the-ticket. the GOP needs a can't lose candidate and clearly she is not it.

    i thought i read or heard a couple of weeks ago that she may be considering running for the senate seat in the next election.

    Right......so wondering if something may come out. Listened to her speech and was comprised of unrelated talking points merged together into scrambed mess.

    Enlightenment inversely related to Palin support.

    I agree. I'm thinking something BIG must have been found out so she's quitting before it all hits the fan.

    I also agree on her speaking abilities. You can tell that someone writes a bunch of sound bytes for her and then she strings them together for an incoherent garble about nothing. For the life of me, I don't understand how anyone can possibly take her seriously.

    Funny how the left are always the ones crying about hate. I can see the hypocrisy flowing in this thread.

    Hate? I don't think so.
    An aversion to demonstrated lack of common sense and intellect? Definitely! :D

    How'd you feel when Obama did the same thing? He didn't quit his job as Senator but he campaigned for at least 3 years and missed more than 1/2 the votes in the Senate
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    I hope you don't expect an unbiased answer out of the #1 resident Obama groupie.

    I wouldn't think so, but nothing surprises me. Bush got re-elected after the Iraq debacle. The intellectual backlash in this country has produced unfit candidates before and I'm fairly certain will do so again.

    Like what ?? Everything about the woman and her family have been scrutinized by the media and every one else that hates her. What's left ? No one has ever been more demonized in politics than that family has.

    Just because you disagree with her Politics you think she lacks common sense and intellect ? Or maybe it's because the way she speaks you feel this way.

    I feel the same way for Palin as I did for Obama. If she thinks she is ready for it...ok. I think she is getting some bad advice from someone. Why not continue being governor and pad your resume a bit more?

    I see only one "leftie" using the word hate in this thread. Perhaps you should paint broad strokes with another word.

    Yup. That's me. The un-dying, un-wavoring, mind controlled Obama groupie. That is except for his policies on Iraq, Don't Ask Don't Tell, Gay Marriage, non single payer health care, abortion, not following his pledge for a five day period before signing a bill after it comes to his desk, and not being as bi-partisan as I feel he COULD have been. Yup...I'm a fall in line Obamaniac

    Sarah Palin. The woman who ran for governor of Alaska so she could quit as soon as a better financial opportunity, a better position, or a big scandal came along. Besides, people are mean to her. Boo hoo. Wow. They're mean in poltics--they notice stuff. As the country song goes, she'll love Alaska forever or until something better comes along. And this person wanted/wants to be President of the US? What would she do if elected and things got rough or she felt she could make more money on the talk circuit? She'll "love the US forever or until something better comes along" is the track record she's leaving behind her. She's a backstabbing, self-absorbed, lying quitter who can't stick with simpler commitments she makes to voters. Republicans who worked with her say she a "whack job." She refused/couldn't study up for a televised event because something that should have taken her 20 minutes--what voters thought of her back home--was more important and time consuming than what a country full of voters might think of McCain if she wasn't prepared. There's a person with the right priorities. She imagines she's presidential material because she IS a whack job--a woman who refers to herself as "Your Heavenly Father" in friendly emails. It seems to me that if she runs, Obama's going to have so much material he won't know what to put in a "Who would you want answering the phone at 3 a.m.?" ad. A deluded,narcissistic quitter just doesn't seem like the best person for the job, although I can't think of anyone else who could better gift wrap political ads to the Democrats.
