		<description>Palin was protecting Alaskans from further expense as the low lifes who have been attacking her (scared of her in 2012) won&#039;t stop.
PALIN IS A HARRY TRUMAN, AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS STARTING NEXT FALL.  We might actually get a &quot;REAL&quot; person and not a fake cold heartless and calculating perosn in the Whitehouse in 2012.
Palin can give a speech without notes, so could Truman....Obama can&#039;t do anything without a teleprompter as he is a groomed person - most of what he says he has been told what to soy - behind the scenes would scare you.

		<description>I don&#039;t think she will stay in politics. I don&#039;t know about the rest of you but from watching her the last few months, Palin has not been herself. Take a look at pictures from last year and you will see a big difference in her appearance. She has lost weight and is looking older and greyer. I don&#039;t think Sarah Palin is quiting over anything other than her health and sanity. I think with a lot of the spotlight on her(which is her own doing) she hasn&#039;t been able to achieve what she wanted. Too much scrutiny.</description>

		<description>If Palin can&#039;t handle her job in Alaska she would NEVER be able to handle a position in Washington!!!!!!  How could she even think she could handle running for president in 2012 or even a senator in 2010 when she doesn&#039;t have the decency and stamina to handle being governor????   She&#039;s hiding something for sure.  Typical Palin</description>

		<description>I am a conservative and I am mortified that the GOP can&#039;t come up with anyone better than Palin to be the party &quot;star&quot;.  She is everything I have come to hate about politicians....in fact most of the GOP is. When will we wake up and realize a two party system was NOT what the founding fathers had in mind?</description>

		<description>And we the people of Alaska say, &quot;Hallelujah&quot;!   Palin can&#039;t move fast enough for us to get off the stage.  The lower 48 states really, really, don&#039;t know 1/2 the story of the Palins!</description>

		<description>Actually we DO need a woman President. I&#039;d like to see Condalisa Rice give it a go. A double woman ticket, with Palin, or even better, Michele Bachmann, as VP would be the bomb.</description>

I predict she will be back w/a vengence and beat the pants off the Marxists in the Whitehouse.

		<description>It is so sad the first time a HONEST politician steps up to bat for the American people and the far left liberal incompetents and the repubbie inbreds slaughter her. No wonder obama got elected - no wonder people are sitting on their behinds letting him destroy our country. You idiots should be more concerned as to what obama and his chicago henchmen are doing not Gov. Palin stepping down.  If the government run news media had maligned my family like they have hers, I would have done more than step down.</description>

		<description>&quot;Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional &#039;Lame Duck&#039; status in this particular climate would just be another dose of &#039;politics as usual,&#039; something I campaigned against and will always oppose.&quot; &quot;

Holy cow! (or should I say Moose?)  By that logic, if elected president, she would resign the day after her second inauguration.  While that would be wonderful, I&#039;d hate to think what sort of dimwit would be willing to be second banana to a prize like Palin....

God save us from any future designs on power this wretched beast has.  I PRAY that she is dropping from politics permanently... that someone showed her the goods on something that would destroy her should she try to come back.  

I was always taught that there is good in every one.  That&#039;s not the case with Sarah Palin.  She must be stopped.</description>

		<description>Palin just gave an unscripted 45 minute speech (virtually no notes) from her heart and that will be the initial speech for Pres of 2012.
How long can Obama talk with no Teleprompter ? Five words before he stammers and stutteres – Mr. O is a groomed &quot;reader&quot; for those who groomed him (you would be shocked if you knew the behind the scenes and who is there).
Wash POst and their money making scheme this week inc the White House is very interesting. …. $25,000 for access to White house. They will screw up and have to be prosecuted by the end of 2010.

Forty-five minues of run on sentences and no clear concise message is not what I call a great speech. But hey, what do you expect from republiCANTs.</description>

		<description>One doesn&#039;t resign a governorship with a 1.5 years left in one&#039;s term.  Period.  If one does, one may kiss any hope of holding a higher office goodbye.  Palin just ended her political career -- a career that was already questionable because of her bizarre and immature behavior.  Ed Rollins of CNN says that people are going to be suspicious of this move.  Suspicious is not quite the right word.  Let&#039;s try that we know that there must be something nefarious behind this resignation.  We&#039;re going to find out that Sarah was caught with her panties down, has been taking kick-backs from someone, has abused her office is some criminal way, etc.  In truth, she&#039;s never really been governor of Alaska; more of a spokeswoman who entertained herself on the taxpayers dime.  She&#039;s certainly spent more time on the road as candidate and GOP sweetheart-of-the-month than serving the people of Alaska over the last two years.  And her popularity in Alaska has been plummeting.  Is that it?  Is it as simple as that?  The political landscape got rocky and Sarah can&#039;t hack it?

Think you can run for president now, Sarah?  Think again.  The GOP wouldn&#039;t put you up for the job if you were the last Republican left.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One doesn't resign a governorship with a 1.5 years left in one's term.  Period.  If one does, one may kiss any hope of holding a higher office goodbye.  Palin just ended her political career - a career that was already questionable because of her bizarre and immature behavior.  Ed Rollins of CNN says that people are going to be suspicious of this move.  Suspicious is not quite the right word.  Let's try that we know that there must be something nefarious behind this resignation.  We're going to find out that Sarah was caught with her panties down, has been taking kick-backs from someone, has abused her office is some criminal way, etc.  In truth, she's never really been governor of Alaska; more of a spokeswoman who entertained herself on the taxpayers dime.  She's certainly spent more time on the road as candidate and GOP sweetheart-of-the-month than serving the people of Alaska over the last two years.  And her popularity in Alaska has been plummeting.  Is that it?  Is it as simple as that?  The political landscape got rocky and Sarah can't hack it?</p>

		<description>I am not a Republican or Democrat

I am just a registered voter

I do not dislike Sarah Palin because of all the obivious reasons

I do not know her personally so I can not say if I like her or not

However, what I can say, is that I want all politicians, especially the
President to be 1000 times smarter than me

And for all the obivious reasons, I know that Sarah Palin is not that person

People are not afraid of Sarah Palin because she is a republican or because she &quot;tells it like it is...you betcha&quot;

People are afraid of Sarah Palin because she is incompetent to be in any public office

I know that I would never want my son&#039;s future in her hands

I cried for three weeks when George Bush got re-elected (or elected for the first time)

I know now that God did not give the world John Kerry, because he wanted to give the world Barack Obama

And I thank God for that every single day!!!!!</description>

		<description>@Tami,

Actually, that Hope &amp; Change thing is working quite well, thank you. More kids insured, the beginnings of a rational energy policy, good debate on  health care reform, economy starting to show signs of coming back, and a foreign policy that actually looks like the America of old, as opposed to whatever hell we&#039;ve been in for the previous 8 years. All in only 6 months. Just imagine all the good things that will happen after he&#039;s had 8 years...</description>

		<description>Good thing Palin didn&#039;t win the election. She probably would&#039;ve dropped out of her position like she is now to make a more positive change in the world. Umm...isn&#039;t that the goal when running and working for government.</description>

		<description>Bad decision mrs. Failin&#039;,

does she really believe she would have any chance in the 2012 election?
Come on… a high-profile politician, that had no passport until her mid-40s. A Woman, that didn&#039;t know, Africa was not a country, but a continent. A woman who didn&#039;t know about the doctrin of her own party&#039;s president, and who didn&#039;t know, what the bailout does… Come on. America can&#039;t afford that joke of a woman. There&#039;s so much better qualified women for that job than she is.

And I promise you…the whole world would laugh about the stupidity of Americans, to vote Palin, in the very same beginning of a century, where they were stupid enough, to vote Bush twice…</description>

		<description>Revelation

I am here to reveal that Governor Palin is being investigated for something out of ordinary. She was caught doing something that when revealed, will be a deception for most of her supporters. If she keeps her job the scandal will affect the Republican more deeper. Since, she will be forced out of office. 

So, for the sake of the party she is stepping down. But the investigation will go forward. In three months the media will have a huge story to sell.

Can&#039;t you read her face during the announcement?
Can&#039;t you see the deception on her speech?
Why you think she doesn&#039;t attack President Obama or the Democrats during the announcement?

She is done folks.

Wait and see.</description>

		<description>I smell a giant scandal about to break....Republicans have been caught in sex and corruption scandals back-to-back-to back. Palin is the next of the long list of hypocritical, erratic, flaky, mentally unstable and completely immoral and characterless Republicans who have had to leave office.

She was already convicted of &quot;abuse of power&quot; as Governor. I guess more charges on her illegal use of state funds is about to break. 

Her political career has been dead for a long time - she is the only one who doesn&#039;t seem to realize it.  This woman is beyond stupid if she thinks all 25 of the Republicans left in America will vote for her for anything. She is unstable, erractic, unreliable, and a confirmed liar. 

She and SC Gov Sanford would be in a dead heat for dumbest and most corrupt governor in America. Another Republican nutjob bites the dust!

OK CNN- she is officially a nobody now so can we stop hearing her moronic statements every day? Let her disappear for good and stop torturing us with her irrelevance to anything that matters to Americans.</description>

Just kidding. Actually, I don&#039;t care if he&#039;s purple, he&#039;s attempting to tax us into prosperity and spend our way out of debt. Is nonsense like that likely to work? &quot;Betcha&quot; it won&#039;t.</description>

Unfortunately, knowing her and the way that Republican strategies think, this is more likely a stunt to stir up her supporters and see if she can&#039;t turn it into a Republican Party presidential nomination in 2012.</description>

Obama has been in politics far longer than Palin (he did serve as an  Illinois senator, which last time I checked was a decent job). You say he&#039;s corrupt, I say prove it. He did not win by a slim margin, he won 52% to 46%, far stronger than either of Bush&#039;s terms or Clinton&#039;s terms. He can find his birth certificate, and it is in fact posted on the Internet.

Given your statements, I wouldn&#039;t be casting stones about people with IQs equivalent to your shoe size...</description>

		<description>&quot;Nope, Obama got there first – and spent our children, our children&#039;s children, and our children&#039;s, children&#039;s children into immense, abysmal, fathomless debt.&quot;

Wayne Moore - for people like you, does your memory go back before 1/20/09? You clowns certainly don&#039;t seem to remember anything prior to Obama&#039;s inauguration. George Bush spent our children, our children&#039;s children, and our children&#039;s children&#039;s children into immense, abysmal, fathomless debt. Obama increases are a tiny little sliver added onto those debts. But nothing before 1/20/09 exists for you. You&#039;re like Cheney, criticizing the decision to pull troops out of the cities in Iraq by June of 2009, when it was originally a Bush Administration plan.

I realize that to a Christian mindset that thinks the world was magicked into existence over a 6 day period by an invisible sky god 6000 years ago, it may seem like things can just magically pop into existence out of nowhere. But the truth is that the government we have today, the country we have today, the economy we have today, and the debt we have today, all go back much further then the guy we have in office today. It&#039;s his job to try to figure out a way through it, and that&#039;s what he&#039;s doing.</description>

		<description>RH,  Bush brought down the country for 8 years... you can have an opinion about obama after you&#039;ve given him 8 years.  Even then, it takes a lot longer to right the wrongs than it does to create the wrongs.  One thing is for sure, since Obama has been in office there has not been a terrorist attack on american soil, he&#039;s kept us safe.</description>

		<description>What Sarah does is for the benefit of Sarah only. She has shown us that  her children including her challenged son, her state/job, her country are not her top priority. 

Maybe she&#039;ll go back to school to learn how to conduct an intelligent conversation or interview for her next job.</description>

		<description>She&#039;s really good at getting attention. But it&#039;s never good to have a sudden change in state leadership, especially during an economic crisis. This is good for her career, whether she&#039;s elected president or not, but it&#039;s definitely bad for the state of Alaska. Definitely a mark against her character.</description>
