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?

 lol @ using polls with the word "strongly."  I just pulled up the article that you got that from, and you are going to try to tell me his approval rating isn' over 50%?


from the article:


Overall, 53% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far



ignoring the lol that is rasmussen polls, it still supports my point.

you're really on a skwing spree tonight, arent u gin?

 gallup has the same numbers. 53% is far off from the 68% he enjoyed just a few short months ago. the somewhat approve has dropped the most, the strongly disapprove has gone up the most.


weeeeeeee, skewing is fun.

is 53% a majority?  have all swing voters left obama like res said?  did I ever say his approval hasn't dropped?  did you skew what I said?

 damn neeek, i like you better when you just post smarky one-liners (or is that neek, shit).

ok, i'll get serious with ya for sec, i agree that res was wrong, not ALL swing voters have left, if he had said most had, or most are leaving he would have been right. Not really sure why this is worth arguing though, i'm pretty sure if you nailed him down he'd admit there was atleast 1 swing voter still backing him and that would make him wrong.

kinda like the trends in that socialist pig clinton's first 6 months.  i wonder what happened there.

at least you have a majority to go by though.  oh wait.  loolz.  is your point that you are dead wrong 5 minutes ago, but maybe you will be right in the future?  well, good luck with that i guess.

given your prediction success rate, I think you saying Obama is going to lose is better for the dems than palin being the repub candidate.

 Simple really:

8 years of Bush, people vote for change.

8 years of Obama, people will vote for change.
