They voted her in because they thought she was the best for the job. <br /><br />Politicians should be able to juggle a campaign and finishing up their term. Incumbents do it all the time. Otherwise we couldn't have reelection.<br /><br />I don't think I'll ever vote for Palin, primarys or otherwise. She's a quitter who can't stand the heat. Plus, I don't vote out the incumbent when the opponent's only platform is being the anti-incumbent. I wasn't a fan of Bush, but Kerry had no platform other than being not-Bush. Same with Palin. If she goes, she'll run on merely being the anti-Obama. That's not enough for me.James' Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575769532441311670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720893923211069687.post-63115161041485580482009-07-09T06:50:34.624-07:002009-07-09T06:50:34.624-07:00James' Muse said...

As all politicians should do instead of occupying a seat and being a no vote. McCain should have done the same thing, but I don't believe he wanted to win and wanted to keep his job. Clinton should have done the same. <br /><br />I think it should be Jindal or Herman Cain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014273634505096181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720893923211069687.post-48900010326152585362009-07-08T16:32:45.434-07:002009-07-08T16:32:45.434-07:00I think the chance of her becoming the candidate f...I think the chance of her becoming the candidate for 2012 is moot with her stepping down. If she can't handle what she has now, then it's good we found out now, before we threw her into the ring. She did energize the conservatives, I think that's a no-brainer. Compared to the typical white rich guy, she was different. That, unfortunately doesn't mean that she is qualified to lead the country.

However, this resignation may prove to hurt her. She has a good fan base, to be sure. But she'll need a lot more than that if she plans to run for President or even Senate in 2012 or even 2016.

They went on all kinds of exploratory everything once she hit the national stage so that they could keep this empty suit (obama) valid.

I don’t believe this will bode well for her on the campaign trail in the future. She will get attacked, yet again, for being a quitter. However, if the reason she has resigned has do to with all the false ethics charges, costing her and the state of Alaska enormous amounts of money, is true, then I can understand, in a way. If the state isn’t complaining about the cost, then why is Palin so worried about it? It’s not like she’s been found guilty and none of it is her fault. These are nut jobs bringing false allegations against her. Now, her own personal cost is another matter. But I heard she had taken up some kind of fund for that. Correct me if I’m wrong. <br /><br />As far as her being our “Messiah,” that’s just foolishness brought on by the MSM because the Right has been calling Obama the Left’s Messiah. It’s just all so childish. We need to get down to brass tacks and fix this economy and stop worrying about Jesus. He’s not here and I'm no prophet, but I don't think he's coming anytime soon.Pamela Zydelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455065276657597689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720893923211069687.post-20175586844049564192009-07-08T12:35:21.721-07:002009-07-08T12:35:21.721-07:00I guess I am not a "conservative", becau...I guess I am not a "conservative", because that logic escapes me.<br /><br />By quitting, Palin sets up a situation where here "Palin 2012" campaign pits someone who could not even complete one term of her highest office (first-term governor) against someone completing one term of the US presidency.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
