Palin resigning as governor of Alaska

I hope this person just moves on and leaves us alone. I have no idea who is supporting her. I don't know anyone that appreciates her. Here we are in the most conservitive state in the union and she ain't liked, how can she really think she can run against Obama.

Apparently, "Who Really Cares", cares; at least enough to vent in his comment. Whether you are a Palin supporter or not, it is news, even in Utah. Why so nasty? It is what it is and everyone has the right to seek his/her own political agenda. If you don't agree, vote for someone else.

I love Sarah Palin, she's not captive to anyone, not McCain, not the GOP, she's so darn independent. What a breath of fresh air a confident mother is, especially when compared to the stodgy, Washington fuddy-duddies who just need to be thrown out.

The only ones who should dislike Palin are the liberals.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SARAH run for POTUS!

TINA FEY needs all the work she can get!

I am happy for Sarah. She has a great little guy to give her whole attention to. I work with those special spirit and he needs his Mom home. I wish her all the luck in the world and hope those that have been unkind will leave her alone. She is a great lady and I know those Alaskian people will miss her her tons.

So we already have our two finalists for the GOP 2012 nomination: Romney and Palin.

I'll take Romney. We'll be ready for someone who understands money, recovery, and health care. He also understands the Constitution, just in case it is hanging by a thread at that point.

Angry, this country needs someone like Palin that cannot even finish one term as governor? Really?

Hey, lover her, I'm not a lib and I don't like Palin. She needs to be home taking care of her little baby. As a mother of a handicapped child, I know how much time and care they need. My conservative values don't support a mother with a baby who needs her working in a high-powered job like governor or vice-president. I think the Republicans may as well just save their money for 2016 if they are going to try and run with her. She does not have my support.

Sarah Palin would be lucky to win the Republican nomination. She would never win a national election. But for her, McCain might now be president.

@Lover her
Ummm, no. I'm a very conservative Republican who absolutely abhors Palin. C'mon, the lady is as dumb as a rock.

Only reason she was picked as a running mate was to try to take the female vote away from Obama, It was McCain's only shot...hoping a large bloc of Clinton supporters would flock over to Palin.

My worst fear was that McCain would win and then a heart attack or assasination would leave Palin in charge.

The Republican party is in BIG trouble when it has half-wits like Palin and hate-mongers like Limbaugh as the two main voices.

Oh Please God help Palin win the republican bid for 2012 so that it guarantees Obama a sweeping victory.

All Blue except Utah, Georgia, and West Virginia. A pretty map indeed.

The condescension of some posters is unbelievable. Mrs. Palin has done more than any one of them and she doesn't hide behind some pseudonym. Could it just possibly be that some posters are so ashamed of what their friends and neighbors would think of them if those friends and neighbors knew how they thought about women that they hide behind those false identities? Or could it be that they're so ashamed of what they write that even they can't stomach the thought of signing their own name to their posts.

Mrs. Palin was the only politician to stand up for traditional American values. Mr. Obama misrepresented his agenda. Mr. McCain tried to pretend that he held conservative values. Mr. Bidden sold his soul for a spot on the ticket with the very man that he vilified during his own campaign. Mrs. Palin, alone, spoke as a true American who wasn't ashamed of her principles and wasn't ashamed to voice them.

Good for her. May she excel in everything that she does - including seeking higher office.

GOOD GRIEF! Palin is not the answer to combat Obama. She is feeds on attention grabbing headlines on a pointless moral crusade no one cares about (i.e.-David Letterman). I know there's no way I would vote her into the White House.

I think the Republicans are committing political suicide right before our eyes. It;s a difficult time for the Republicans. Obama has so much more momentum for the future with all these front runners falling off. I imagine Romney is really licking his chops at the possibilities. Nothing seems to be out of the realm of possibility--I wouldn't even be surprised to hear that Huckabee will come out as a closet atheist. Ah the possibilities.

As a liberal I never thought I would be thanking Sarah Palin for anything, but I find myself eating crow this afternoon. Thank you Sarah for saving us from the mind numbing Michael Jackson media blitz, even if it is only for a couple of hours.

I really appreciated your comments-- it's the best laugh I've had in a long time.... Thank You
Like the media controls the thoughts of people... hmmmphhhhhh we all have free agency and the majority see Palin as a bad choice or in the words of my son, "She's Lame".
I do hope that the Republicans do field the strongest candidates available to run in 2012 because as citizens of the United States of America we should have the best choices out there.. McBush and Palin weren't it last go round...
Now go back out and kill a moose....

Hey Mike:

Sarah needs all the "sanctimoneous" help she can muster. PLEASE APPLY.

obtw:

When all the RIGHT-WING-NUT-JOBS start signing their names to the venom they spew, the rest of us will follow their self-righteous lead.

Palin is not the face the GOP needs as their leader for the 2012 race. She comes off as another dubya lackey. The GOP needs someone to shake things up the way Obama did with the dems. No more of the dubya GOP. Like healthcare, the GOP needs a total overhaul. And reminiscing about the Reagan days isn't going to help either. Truth hurts, but its time to move forward not backward.

Even though I voted for her in 2008, and liked her, at that time, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is resigning from office on July 26th 2009 ?. GOP Steele hates her guts, and would never support her as a run for President in 2012, and she don't have the funds to do it on her own. Even if she plans on hooking-up with Mitt Romney, seeing the word Mormon is in both families. I know she's done now. All she has left when she said Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is resigning from office, is be a stay at home mom. That she can do. I hate to see Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin go, but in John McCain dirty politics anything goes. And, America is not ready for EX-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney yet. Nor 2 Mormon's running our Country.


RIP.

If Palin was such a beacon of "American Values," how come America laughed and said, "No thanks!" I get a kick out of GOP faithful that think Palin is the one that can pull them out of the gutter. Palin only appeals to the delusional base. The GOP lost the center, and picking her as a challenger is exactly what every Democrat ,including me, dreams about. That would lock up 4 more years of Obama, and even GOP strategists will tell you that.
