Well Sarah Palins ex future son in law stated on fox tonight that he is confident that she quit to write a book deal for millions which she could not do as Governor.
Newt said that it could have been the pressure as he knows how hard it is to be in politics and how it was for his family.
A white house reporter has said that he admits that they the "media" were out to get Palin and gave Joe a lot of leeway and did not present him with the same pressure as they did her.
I still think that she may go out and campaign for the congressional races to draw crowds and help with the attempt to win back the house.
Her shot at president is gone i think because it will be in every commercial "she quit when it got tough"

Can't wait to buy the book! Presidential RUN gone? Hogwash.
Sara Palin is the STRONGEST Candidate conservatives have. Nobody else even comes close. She is articulate, an incredible speaker, executive experience with results... and can draw crowds by the thousands in one quick stop.
One Love sometimes you confuse me... You buy into the liberal spin so fast just as the Republican machine does. Will turn around and shoot the people that are fighting for your values and goals in the foot so easily. The political talking heads are spineless and all positioning themselves for the pole position.
She said she doesn't follow the typical path. Bravo!! An original thinker.. yet another bonus in my book.

Bingo.. not your typical path... yet a strike back directly into the heart of the liberals. Bravo!
EXCLUSIVE: Palin plans to stay in politics
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/200 ... democrats/
ANCHORAGE, Alaska | Brushing aside the criticisms of pundits and politicos, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she plans to jump immediately back into the national political fray —
stumping for conservative issues and even Democrats
... The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and
heroine to much of the GOP's base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled and fatigued by nonstop partisanship, and
she is eager to campaign for Republicans, independents and even Democrats who share her values on limited government, strong defense and "energy independence."
But she shot down speculation among Republicans that she might challenge incumbent Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski...
*****
Ha.. Yep. Discussion of her demise was premature to say the least. You go girl!

you are either reading to much into what I wrote or I am not expressing myself clearly. I love Palin I simply stated what is being reported. I think she left to help congressional seats, however it will hurt a presidential run for leaving her office. Not that she cant, but to think that would not hurt would not be a honest evaluation of the issue. If obama left the senate then ran we would have been screaming,
I do not fall for any liberal garbage that was spoke on FOX news btw..... Matter of fact Gretta who loves palin is who I got the statement from,
I think palin cant rally behind many congress seats to help get the house back.

Practically everyone in the Obama administration quit their jobs and most were campaigned for. Governors, Congressmen, Senators, etc

so she is going to do exactly what i said go and support canidates except she also said to help democrats that believe in her position...not sure who that could be and why she would want to help any democrat win a seat but okay...It is the wonderful world of politics. I still admit I love her as a politician and would like to see her get that senate seat. Then she would have as much senate exp. as obama LOL
If you do not think that her quitting will not effect her in a national campaign I am not sure how it can be avoided. Being GOVERNOR is the best experience she has. I am not doubting her only stating the obvious.
I think it would be great for her to show up in every state with close congressional seats because she can bring the crowds.

She's already a has been. The only crowd she gets is an insular fringe. Republicans don't even want her to campaign for them.

And then there's Levi Johnson's appearance on the Today Show where he's clearly seen to be placing himself in line for a 2012 presidential bid. Will the opportunism never end? Not before a multi-million dollar book deal is struck.

This is something that we will not have to worry about. Levi Johnston will not be old enough to qualify for the Presidency in 2012. Levi is only 20 years old, in 2012 he will be 24 years old max. Still 11 years short of the minimum age limit. Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution establishes 35 as the minimum age limit for the Presidency.

We Christians are fringe radicals but not ignorant especially of the saving message and power of Christ. That's not stubborn my friend but enlightened. We have a message to convert and not conform. We believe in only one way to heaven... Jesus Christ. So yes... I'm in that enlightened fringe group and extremely happy!!

A powerful pollster stated that the majority of Americans are conservative in stated core values & beliefs and only a small percentage of them are Republican. On the opposite side.. only 20% or less of Democrats are stated Liberal core values. Humm.. who makes up the rest?
Seems like she is on the right track - galvanizing the Conservative Movement... regardless of political parties.

Well Willie Brown calls her a Political Genius! LOL...
Sarah Palin, political genius
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... 18MCT5.DTL
The pundits are wrong. Conventional wisdom is wrong. Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor was a brilliant move.
Palin has some of the best political instincts I have ever seen. She became a pop-culture superstar overnight when John McCain made her his veep pick, and she's still second only to President Obama among politicians the public is interested in. Even in liberal San Francisco, she'd be front-page news if she ever came to town.
... Instead, Palin faced the prospect of being constantly pinned down in a state that is a day and a half away from the rest of America. She would have been totally isolated in every sense of the word.
Now she can study up on issues where she is lacking and become a full-time political celebrity.
The pundits call her a quitter, but let's be honest - the pundits never liked her to begin with. Better to take one hit for stepping down and move on than to stay in Alaska and die a death by a thousand cuts.
Governor or not, Palin is still the biggest star in the Republican galaxy...

Personally, I wouldn't give a hoot. Why would anyone be screaming? Obama can do no wrong, remember? It would simply have been heralded a genius strategy.
