I can't imagine why this woman has any supports after a year that could only be called a circus. Her resignation is 100% self-serving, and 100% ridiculous if she has any hopes for a future in politics. If she is doing it to get out of politics then I need to give her a little bit of credit for having a little bit of insight.
The woman has handled her thrust into the spotlight like a 14 year old girl in a school yard. She MUST personally respond to every allogation or unkind word against her. The media is tough. Politics is full of sexism. (just ask H. Clinton) No one plays a better victim than Palin.
Why must so many republican's vote for the guy they want to have a beer with (Bush) or vote for the woman that is a hot, hockey mom? What happened to itelligence and success? Why didn't Romney get the nomination? If you want a strong, smart woman... how about C. Rice?
I have been so over this nit-wit since before the election. She needs to get a job with Fox news. She would probably be pretty good. She just does not have the experience or itelligence to be a world leader.
Sorry for the diatribe, but her success is a complete enigma to me.
p.s. Check out Andrew Sullivan's blog. He has an extensive series titled "The lies of Sarah Palin".

You will miss her terribly when she steps down because that's one less Republican you'll be able to whine about.

Is this Sarah? You sure respond like she does to criticism.... make accusations then change the subject.
Come on... I have nothing against republicans. I listed two that I liked. I just don't get why anyone is still defending this woman. It makes no sense to me. It will not be good for the republican party to continue to ride on this woman's "fame".

Even Fox News can't seem to sort her out:

Check out Andrew Sullivan's blog. He has an extensive series titled "The lies of Sarah Palin". Perhaps because she is real and down to earth. She gets angry and frustrated. She is a Mom and a political figure. She has no plastic veneer or years of polish. What you see is what you get. We have had many very groomed and politically correct politicians that talk the talk and yet they are pathetically ill equipped to also do the job. It amazes me however that so many pompous stuff-shirts continue to whine and criticize every tiny little thing about her. PS....by the way...if you are going to insult her "intelligence," perhaps you should spell it correctly.

Just to reiterate:
-Palin is a flake
-Palin was thrust into the national spotlight last year when she became McCain's running mate in the presidential election
-Palin has been under intense scrutiny for just about all her actions and words, and her family has been under scrutiny as well
-Buckling under the pressure, she has basically "quit" and every indication shows that she wants out of the public life
And yet, you asswits are STILL COMPLAINING even though she's QUITTING and GOING AWAY?
Like I said, liberals are never happy unless there's something to bitch about.

It amazes me however that so many pompous stuff-shirts continue to whine and criticize every tiny little thing about her. Plastic veneer? Years of polish? She's wearing heavy pancake makeup (it's practically a mask) and expensive designer glasses. She took part in beauty contests. She was a local TV sports reporter. As far as handling herself in front of a camera, she's a pro. However - that Midwest-style accent is one that she's been able to turn on and off over the years. Even Fox News got some footage of her as mayor of Wasilla where she was actually enunciating her words and not dropping her "g"s.

You have got to be kidding. All Politicians are phony. She is the biggest fraud of them all! A quote: You can peruse Sullivan's blog to read the many, many lies of Sarah Palin. andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/06/palin-the-horror.htmlFrankly.... I want my President to me MUCH smarter than me. I want them to have the best education (not requiring 5 schools before getting one undergraduate degree). I want them to be sophisticated. What you described is what I look for in a friend.... not the leader of the free world.

When is she going to explain why she's resigning? It seems a little odd that she hasn't done so yet.

She only has to explain this if she decides to run again for something else. Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy to have her fade away into the sunset. Besides, she already sort of did. She said it was so she could focus on "a higher calling".
