Palin is one smart woman. She will be THE Republican Party mega fund raiser. Did anyone notice her crowd puling power?

This is both a financial decision and a political decision. Palin is stopping the bleed on her personal finances (she is not wealthy yet) .... and she is preventing any more bleeding from Alaska s treasury for which she will take credit ... and that is going to play as a very noble self-less move and a gift to the Alaskan people who will see this as a really smart move .... and ... she is again doing what she said she would do. Stop the wasteful spending caused by frivolous self-serving spending.

Simple. Palin is not rich. She doesn't have time or the money for this nonsense yet. She will make a boat-load on speaking engagements and free up her time to prepare and polish her message. She will give the Republican Party the television coverage they need on all of the media stations. She is taking back control .... freeing her staff to help her campaign on behalf of the Republican Party to build up the war chest for 2010 and her Presidential election.

By stepping out of the governor's office, there can be no more frivolous attacks that she has respond to by law. What are her detractors going to do now? She can ignore their attacks.

The libs are frantic to try and shape conventional wisdom ... they cannot see the forest for the liberal boulders of bias of hatred in their own eyes.

She is popular and she is going to win in the end.

Kaoowell.

You know Truman tried some of these and was told it was Unconstitutional and that was the end of it. Barry thinks he is above the law and continues to do what ever he wants and gets away with it.

People are in such a tizzy. They can't figure her out.

Guess what? That's perfect. She's not playing by the standard political rules. She's playing her own game now. The opposition will have to catch up.

Hoo rah Sarah. Hoo rah.

Haha, nice.

I'm definitely curious why she would do this. It's increased speculation that she plans to run in 2012 but if so it's a strange choice; she could have just as easily waited until later and then just declined to run again in 2010, instead announcing a candidacy for president. The easy narrative for opponents (including within the party) to use would be that she abandoned her state that she'd taken an oath to serve in a cheap political move; it's too easy and I'd be surprised if she'd set herself up for that. There's also talk of her trying to escape sagging poll numbers, ethics questions and perhaps even avoiding something that may come out very soon, although the latter is pure speculation at the moment. Or perhaps it's something else entirely? Just wanting to get out of the spotlight, or do book deals, tv shows, etc instead of public office? Personally I think she's basically finished politically, but I'm definitely curious as to what her intentions/plans are in doing this.

I hope she doesn't run for the senate, it's not the best thing to do when she has a shot at the presidency.
