Typical...just more ad hominum attacks from ee. I would've expected better from UNT grads

[emmitt01]

I know you might find this hard to believe but nobody has you specifically in mind when posting about minorities, interracial couples, or even cops.

Nobody, myself included, is so egocentric as to think EE's bat-s craziness is all about them. Cute that you couldn't follow that I was mocking his "marrying minorities" as a lberal value, and not making a cry for tolerance. Trust me I'm not arrogant enough to think the full breadth of his lunacy could apply to me.

It's very difficult to raise cash and run for national office from Hawaii or Alaska.

Awww...poor Palin. It was getting too difficult? We really need to pamper her then so she can take on the easy job of running the country. LOL.

[EagleGreen]

I think it is one of 3 things: Sarah Palin is so crazy she actually believes that what she just did is good for her political career; she has decided that her future is as a reality TV star ; or, a scandal of monumental proportions is about to hit.

Bailin' knows that in 4 years this will be a non-issue in the public's mind. They will have long forgotten it.

Her previous state held office in Alaska she also quit before the term was up. Doesn't really speak highly of her commitment.

SHould be interesting to see where she shows up next and how the Alaskan voters determine what she gets.

More clicky fun (if you even had it to begin with):

Three reasons Sarah Palin was, ya know, good and bad for women in politics, ya know.

Textual analysis of Palin's out-the-door speech, and Diagramming Sarah Palin's sentences.

She really shouldn't write her own stuff. The "needs a College Writing I brush-up" writing/grammar skills of some of our more "venerable" posters are better than what she scribbled on a few notecards on her way to the podium.

[FirefightnRick]

Palin is such a non issue that you Nancy's spent three pages on her quitting? LOL!

Now that she's stepping down from public office we may start to get to see even MORE of Sarah Palin.

I somewhat agree (minus the name-calling). But she WAS the VP nominee for a major political party less than a year ago, so it's still news. I still haven't heard a real reason she stepped down.

Let us see who else quit:

Barry Soetoro (aka B. Hussain Obama).....didn't he "quit" his Illinois position?

Hillary (stand by your man) Clinton..........didn't she "quit" her N.Y. position?

My main question to all the socialist liberals is: Why does Gov. "baracuda" Palin scare you and the media? Perhaps you can defend you position with more than your atypical ten word ad hominum sentences. This may require you to actually think and use the phrasiology that you have heard from MSNBC, CNN, Public Radio, Katie Couric and Oprah......oh yea, could it be that these people do the thinking for you or do you have any independent thoughts that ya'll would like to share??

This is a time to share your political philosophy.

Please do not answer if this question is "above your pay grade."

Please go home, Sarah Palin, and take care of yor family, which is what you should have done when you found out your daughter was pregnant while you were VP candidate. Talk about putting political ambition before family.

I didn't like her from the moment she was introduced as a VP candidate (she had the worst case of shake voice ever seen on the national stage). Please fade away and leave the republican party one less thing to figure out about itself. Let the serious conservatives in the party (if there are any left) get to the business of hashing out a presidential candidate for 2012.

Moses and Paul were not good speakers either according to text.

You have heard BHO "OFF" the teleprompter haven't you???? we can pull up some You Tube for you, only if you wish. That makes GBush sound like the most articulate man on the planet.

Aw, what the heck.....

I'll let a little hyperbole slide from time to time, but this sentence is ridiculous. Nobody, no not even Helen Keller, could make George Bush sound articulate.

Dude! DUDE! DUUUDE! COME ON! Really? You really posted this? I'm a George fan (personality wise, not policy wise) and nothing makes him sound like the most articulate man on the planet. LOL. Pass it over here man...

LOL! Should have read this first! This is good stuff.

Great opinion piece by a pretty smart guy in my opinion.

Sarah Palin's political possibilities, as viewed by Mark Davis

[FirefightnRick]

Talk about nerve. The very notion of leaving an elected office occupied for barely two years. Even if it is to run for president, that makes it even more peculiar in view of the candidate's lightweight résumé of political experience.

I refer, of course, to Barack Obama.

Cheap stunt, but it makes my point. Sarah Palin's electoral track record, of course, is far longer than that of Obama, who overcame his meager credentials, and longer even than that of George W. Bush when he ran for president.

Granted, the departing Alaska governor's early political career is defined within the walls of a small-town city hall, but is that somehow less valid than years spent as baseball team co-owner or a community organizer?

Great article.

She stepped down from the Oil and Gas Comission position after like...a year. She stepped down from the Governor's mansion 18 months early. If this had been the first time she pulled this stunt, it still would've been peculiar - but this shows a disturbing trend. Honestly, it seems to me if she's not getting her way - she leaves.

I wonder if she would've left the Vice presidency if she felt McCain wasn't listening enough to her.

Definitely a republican spun opine. Silly and twisted actually. I'm surprised MD would put out such a thing; can't he find a better candidate to back?

[meangreenacct]

I would have no qualms if she stepped down because McCain won and she was VP, but to leave when you have not been elected to higher office? I don't think I necessarily support that, unless of course there are mitigating circumstances. The explanations I have read such as "she is escaping politics as usual" and "she was burnt out from the daily grind of the past 2 1/2 years" are not acceptable responses in my opinion.

Hell yeah it is republican spun, have you ever listened to mark Davis?

Also I dont think that MD is a Palin cheerleader, more just making red tinted observations. On his show he is often outspoken about the drawbacks os Sarah Palin and he is quite frank about the hurdles she is going t have to overcome. Like it or not she is a large figure looming in the red landscape.

I don't particularly care for her, but I don't dislike her either. I do want a good explanation as to why she quit though.
