Sarah Palin is resigning as Governor. I guess she can't take the heat.

UPDATE: KTUU-TV in Anchorage reports that Palin not only won't seek re-election, but will resign later this month.

ORIGINAL POST: Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has announced she will not run for re-election in 2010, CNN reports. She's scheduled to make an announcement shortly.

I wonder what the scandal is?  Did she get caught having an affair?  Did another one of her daughters get knocked up and she decided to actually be a mother for once?

Paul has growing support, but, he is far too old now.  He will be 75 in 2012 i believe.  I think it would be a great time for Ron Paul to pick a predecessor and promote him in the next couple years to give his ideas a chance to pass on.
Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son, is going to run for senate in Kentucky

if she quits for the potus-run she's a dirty quitter who bailed on the people. if she doesn't quit and runs for potus she's stealing money from alaska by being out campaigning when she should be working. yawn, standard

ps. you know what would be sweet, if all the vitriol and palin-hate in this thread was backed-up. I mean, if the haters listed what exactly is so bad about her. I would genuinely like to know b/c she seems to have stirred up a shitstorm in ot just by deciding not to run for reelection. personally, I'm hoping one of them is "because she thinks seeing russia from her house qualifies her to be potus". guess why! lol

 there are alot of stupid people in this country....but not nearly enough to give her a shot in hell at winning the presidency.  If she gets the republican nomination it will only because there is nobody to run against her.  It will be a landslide victory reelection for obama barring him doing something absolutely retarded between now and then.

It would be wise of dr paul to groom someone in his mold that is younger and appeals to the general population. He's going to be 76 if im not mistaken and would have no shot. On the other hand a young guy who people can like that looks presedential, with the same world view would be highly effective

Is this a joke?  He was on the ballot for Vice Presidency of the United States.  Why would he also be on the ballot for Senator IN THE SAME ELECTION?  Are you serious?

fwiw, didn't Lieberman do this?



i didn't think this was terribly uncommon. is it?

Yes. That is the single most abhorrent thing about a run for president. Logic-impairment. Lack of intelligence. No one this dumb has sniffed the presidency since Dan Quayle. Only someone with above-average intelligence should even be in the primary.
