As governor I think she is in way over her head and resigning will save her from it all. I also think that she likes all the attention and will likely do whatever she can to stay in the media’s spotlight….which could mean running for president. I’ll be glad when she runs out of steam and we don’t have to hear her any longer.

Any conservative who wants to be in the public spotlight has to accept the fact that the media will be against them. Sarah Palin’s problem is that any future campaigns she competes in will be dominated by questions about her ability to stay the course. She risks being another Ross Perot, who gained national attention but flamed out far too soon.

An interesting side note to Palin’s situation is that President Obama was NOT challenged by the media during the campaign or the early days of his administration, so we still don’t know if he can handle the heat. Time will tell, unfortunately.

Carol - Interesting you’re offended by someone who has held several executive-level positions in her life, and being successful at that, and yet we have someone who was a “community organizer” and has never worked even a dishwashing job in his entire life running the United States? I can tell you who I’d rather have. Seems like Americans are easily lead astray by superficial speeches, Hollywood fantasy, and a news media in love with perverts (Michael Jackson) and someone who believes that murdering children who are born alive should be a “woman’s right.” Check out Obama’s position on BAIPA and get back to us, Carol.

Burt F, I hear that being a governor who QUITS mid-term is kind of like being a community organizer, except that the community organizer has actual responsibilities.

What exactly is it about this lady that you admire so much? The fact that she hates people from cities and suburbs? That she likes picking fights with celebrities? That she thinks she’s better than everybody else?

Faithful,
I guess she could ridicule people who live in rural areas and believe in the second amendment. She could ridcule the Special Olympics to curry favor with a gap-toothed moron and your hollywood celebrities. She could be married to someone who hates America. She could attend church and listen to hate preached from the pulpit every Sunday. But, Obozo already covered all this.

It is about money. It is always about money. Governor Palin has an opportunity to make a great deal of money on the conservative lecture circuit. She will also write a book. If Mark Levin can sell millions of books, then so can Sarah Palin. Burt F. repeats FoxNews talking points, but omits the fact that President Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review and was a Professor at the University of Chicago Law School before becoming Senator from Illinois.

With Palin,it seems like she says what the conservatives want to heard and she have a odd ball sense of humor,but when it’s all said and done she come out as being to phony and contrive,like a slick computer on overdrive-peppy pills.

Joe- she IS married to someone who hates America and what about that Muthee witch doctor preacher guy, and believes real Americans live in small towns but not in the cities. Does she really believe the pressure won’t increase tenfold in a run for President? Pass the butter, she’s toast.

Prolly had more to do with having to fend off the stupid-arse ethics charges, all which have been found to be without merit….

JoeCool, I think most people are tired of rural elitist snobs who think that if you aren’t a white evangelical Christian from a rural area that you’re not a “real American.”

When Palin whines about “elitism,” I get the impression that she’s looking down on people who she thinks less of. The GOP has always seemed to dislike college educated Easterners, but this past election it seemed to extend beyond that to anyone from any city or suburb.

This whole nonsense of mocking people for where they live and what type of things they have in their shopping carts (”dijon” versus yellow mustard) has got to stop. I don’t care what you put on your burgers or what kind of lettuce is in your salad. I don’t care if an elected official is from a place with a population of 100 or ten million. I want somebody competent in office.

Palin not only seemed to lack competence for the job, but also outright resented vast numbers of people who would be her constituents.
