Da da da da daaaaah, I'm lovin' it.

why?

this is likely bad news for democrats.

as unlikely as it is for them to win the Alaskan governorship, they'd have probably had an easier time against Palin than her replacement.

If she thinks not even finishing her first term as governor is going to help her run for president, she is retarded.

PS: She is retarded.

Pretty much. I can see the debates now: "Do you want a President who's a quitter?"

yeap. she was in over her head. NOBODY was going to take her seriously.


Picking her as VP killed McCains chances.

Alaska Democrats, perhaps, but how many of those are there? Realistically another high-visibility GOP scandal (which seems likely to occur) can only help the Democrats nationally.
 
Two GOP governors in hot water in a matter of weeks; we hit the jackpot.

this is why politics and the goverment is so fucked up. you care more about the "party" then what is actually happening with the country.

Yeah, I like a good seedy scandal like anyone else, but party vs party shit is lame.

Removing Sarah Palin from office is the best thing for Alaskans, Americans, and the entire human race in general.

Maybe she's positioning herself to run for a Senate seat.

She'd have to run against a a female Republican incumbent with better approval numbers than her own (Murkowski). I don't think the numbers favor this explanation.

by abondining her position now? why would anyone vote for her after that? i know i sure in the hell wouldnt.



its funny. some are saying this is a great move. its going to give her time to get out and talk with the "people" and study up on what she does not know. So this sets her up for the 2012 election.



WTF! are you fucking nuts? who will vote for her (well except for party hardliners) after she abondons her job?


i suspect she finally got tired of the abuse her and her family have been under.
 
all she needs to do is write 1 mediocre book or just put her name on someone elses biography and she can retire a wealthy happy retard
 
I didn't want her as a VP candidate and new McCain lost the morning she was announced as his choice. I don't want her to run for anything else. That said, the liberals hated her because she was a good looking woman who didn't kill her child knowing it would be born "challenged". She unleashed a swath of sham that brought out the seething resentment that is behind the facade of liberal false virtue and fake love. Good luck to her but I am sure vermin in media and libs will keep on her.
 
That was a painful video to watch.. and it was even more painful to think that she actually ran for VP.

Judging from what she said, I also think that there is something else bad about to come out. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Is that why we hated her?
