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?

 i'm assuming this is so she has time to campaign to run for pres?

sigh, if she wins who do you think will b the next reign of power, india or china?



How could resigning be good for a campaign?  This just ruined any chance she had (which was very small to begin with), I think.


i don't know much about politics, but i know that when she came here (long island) she was scrutinized for "campaigning" instead of doing her job...i guess it would give her time to travel/campaign...there are def ppl here who are much better fit to answer this question tho

Haha, I would pose this question.  If Obama gets reelected who will be the next reign of power, india or china?

 My question is who is giving her advice??


IMO she has 0 shot at winning the presidency.  The republicans would be basically giving up if they allowed her to emerge as the "face" of the republican party.  They should tell her that her role is to help fund raise and try to attract the female voters to the republican party.

I'd be more than happy if she emerged as the republican front runner in 2012, which it looks like this is step #1 towards that (poor Mitt Romney).

She is the epitome of all the fundamentally wrong ideas the republicans represent and why they have been failing miserably. 

She brings nothing new to the table. Its the same old "we're better than you" mentality. This isn't the direction the country wants to move in anymore.

But I wish her the best of luck anyway she looks incredible for her age!

Sarah Palin getting limited support from feminist groups is just another reason why those groups are a joke and completely biased.  If she had a 'D' next to her name, they would of supported her and put up a fight to all those that bashed her.

Has nothing to do with this article, i just really hate feminists.

Why? If you do not like her politics, i can understand.  But, this sounds more like you despise her personally?  Fuck i hate people sometimes.

I hope she does not run because unlike the left(obama), i would rather have someone in office w/ proven political success.  A conservative who has historically wanted and voted for smaller government, lower taxes, etc.  Few exist anymore and thats why the true fiscal conservative in the republican party are so pissed off right now.

Anyway, people hating on Palin are a joke.
