I predict she'll be on Fox News or somewhere that she's more visible, making money. She's to busy to govern but I think we'll still be seeing her around.

Wouldn't be so sure...rumors are floating around the Internets that she may be indicted by the Feds for embezzlement charges...

"CNN and other major news outlets have reported that Sarah Palin has abruptly resigned as governor of Alaska. The suddenness of her announcement raises the question about whether Palin resigned to avert a major scandal. One logical place to start looking is the affair that has Alaska political circles buzzing: an alleged scandal centered around a building contractor, Spenard Building Supplies, with close ties to Palin and her husband, Todd.
Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002."

I will pray tonight that she's resigning for scandal related issues. Her reason of "not being a lame duck governor" is pathetic, disgraceful, and entirely suspicious.
It should not surprise any of us who have watched her make a mockery of politics and higher office that she would think such a resignation would be a positive sign to her supporters.
Seriously, WHO FUCKING QUITS before their term is up like this?
Unprecedented move by an unprecedented idiot.
- "Vote for me in 2012, and if I suck I'll just quit" hmmm maybe she has something ...BattleAxe

She is leaving with more than a full year left in her term. WTF???
Elections won't be held until November 2, 2010.
She is not a lame-duck anything! She is quitting with more than 1/4 of her term left. Seriously and completely unprecedented in politics.

Trust me dude, this has nothing to do with popularity.
She's going to jail.

Just heard an interview with a pro-Ahmadinejad Iranian reporter o NPR. While i am reserving the space in my brain for the possibility that this lady is telling the honest truth, my gut feeling (which may be biased) is that she is full of shit. So much so that i couldn't help but say that sentiment to my radio as the interview played. BUT you be the judge.

NPR's mailbox is gonna EXPLODE over this one

Slept on the Palin announcement and have concluded that Dems could really be in a world of hurt in 2010 and 2012.
You selfish misguided sophmoric fucks had BETTER hope that there IS a scandal or something more to learn, otherwise, the "pitbull" is going for that democratic ass, and payback for your disrespect and hate towards Sarah is going to be a muther-fucker.
Yes, the love and support for Sarah is overwhelming, and your worst nightmare, and there is nothing, short of a scandal that you louses can do about it.
Go ahead, slander her, call her a cunt, make fun of her family. You liberal bitches, you wish you were her. You liberal boy-men, you wish you could tap that. Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, meet the new kid in town you weathered, haggard, shriveled pieces of shit.

On Palin: "Transitioning from politician to cultural idoru for a politically disenfranchised, permanently discontented ten percent of Americans."
