Wow!
Lots of speculation and shock. She’s resigning to run for president, She’s resigning because of scandal, she is resigning because she can’t take it, etc etc etc etc.
I gotta tell you, I have absolutely No idea what the actual story is…
…and no matter what anyone else says neither does anyone else.
If I had to guess I’d take her at her word, and there is almost no other candidate that I would say that about.

If she does leave politics, I wouldn’t be surprised. She has been unduly savaged and her family has been hounded and hunted down by the mainstream media; a media that has been trying to ruin her ever since she became the VP candidate for McCain.
Even after this, I think the State Run MSM will still go after her. They fear her and what she could do in 2012. As callous as it sounds, I don’t think they’d let up on her until after she passes away.
Who knows, 24 hours later nobody still knows.
Oh BTW totally off topic begining a once a month D&D campaign at Dave’s this tuesday. You might want to consider coming.

What happened to Sarah Barracuda?
It was obvious from the start.
Consider, Sarah Palin was a popular Governor of Alaska of whom nobody would know about in the lower 48 states. She was dragged into McCain’s presidential campaign when it was imploding for good reasons. She nearly dragged John McCain to victory. Where the Republican’s justly gained their hard won reputation for being brain dead was not only nominating McCain but not hitting back at the Democratic attacks. From the very start Sarah Palin was under attack by nonsensical criminal and civil lawsuits. Not only did John McCain or the Republican party did not support her, but when Sarah Palin outshined McCain, she was thrown to the media wolves. The McCain staffers even went so far as to sabotage Patin’s part of the campaign through media leaks.
When the campaign season came to a end, the attacks from the left did not stop. Even when all the current lawsuits were proved to be pure bulls—t, more lawsuits were filled. Not one Republican “leader” stood up for her. The Republican party members treated her as a competitor and rival.
The leadership must be brain dead to allow one of its members to be savaged by the political opposition without response. By leaving one of its members deep in debt by political opposition lawsuits, the party elders have proved themselves unworthy. If a party does not support its members, why should the members support the party or its leadership.
What was over the top despicable was no one considered Sarah Palin was telling the truth when she said she was calling it quits. Why should she go on without party support. She did not have the family wealth to absorb the lawsuits. The sad fact was Sarah Palin was too good for Republican party politics.
She was too honest for both the Democratic and Republican party’s politics. Now she is gone, to the Republican party’s loss.

This is the reason so many Democrats went into exile as PUMAs. After I saw what the DNC did to Hillary Clinton, and its members who voted for her, I could no longer call myself a Democrat. I will never again vote for someone just because he has a “D” by his name.
A lot of what republicans have thrown at her are for three reasons:
1. They are backing another candidate for election and need to neutralize her.
2. They look down on her because of their “eliteism”
3. They are afraid of actual reform because their power and influence comes from being part of the establishment.
No affection or hate is more fleeting that political affection. If she starts winning and the party establishment decides that she is their best shot for power watch them change their tune.
