"...then several hours later tweeted that she was going fishing in western Alaska."

Well, don't get too smug or comfy, all you guys in state-run media--I have seen gleeful predictions that Palin is "finished." Well, seems like all of us Americans have really short memories, or maybe just must of you spinmiesters and propogandists in Big Media are under 40. There was a guy, wacky, crazy, shoot from the hip. media hated him, everyone hated him, said he was done, press said he was done, And whoops, he went and got elected President. If you in Big Media don't know, or have forgotten who that was, take a second think about it. Ok welcome back. It was..........Richard Nixon. So don't be so sure of yourselves.

You might want a better poster child for the republican party than the paranoid, communist "hunting", watergate scandle creating warmonger Richard Nixon... just saying... if you did need to compare Palin to someone - Dead on dude.

Hey btw, while you're at it can you mention all the Good things hitler did?

Or how about Regan-nomics? Oh wait... your morons still think trickle-down-theory works...

It's very funny how you idiots refuse to see that the Democrats also played an important role. It's really interesting to see how you blame one party yet praise the other for doing the same thing.

hahahahahaaaaaaa. richard nixon! oh now theres a compliment and a real relief for america that she will be the next tricky nixon.

funny part is.... she couldnt hold a candle to nixon. at least nixon had experience and a brain. a paranoid one, but a brain non-the-less.

She needs to dis-associate herself from both Parties. Remember the Florida rallies. She tasted the power of the mob. She will be the leader of the new American Fascist party. Watch.

Is that like the New Democratic Communist Party, you know with leaders like Dodd, Reid, Pelosi and Franks? Oh wait that's right, you people blame the Republicans for everything. Dodd said the banks were stable weeks before they crashed, but it is the republicans fault. Dodd stood up in 2005 to object to the regulations of banks but it is the Republicans fault. Obama is spending lots of money and nothing is getting better but that is the republicans fault. You hate the blame game but you play it so well

We're still not getting the whole story. It still has the look and feel of dirt being swept under a rug.

Kinda like the blago case. You know, that democratic governor from IL, who tried to sell Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder

It amazes me at the number of ignorant uninformed people there are in this world.
bob-bob..you obviously dont know the definitition of Fascist...let me educate you...it is GOVERNMENT control of banking and industry...When has Sarah Palin advocated anything like this?
WAKE UP...look at what the Obama administration is doing...they now own General Motors...control the largest banks, are fighting to control Health Care...and have rammed legislation through congress to control Energy, via cap and trade. If this legislation makes it through the Senate, we will ALL pay.
bob-bob..please do some reading and educate yourself before it's too late. Your individual freedom (whats left of it) will be gone, along with any chance to fulfill any dreams you might have. (If you have any)

the two party system is dumb at this rate - there are dems who don't sway right along with Oboma, and there are Reps that do - there were dems that swayed with bush, and reps who didn't (one used to be McCain before he apparently drank the Rep-Right-Wing Kool-Aid and sabatoaged his entire career..)

As of the last portion - I would have voted for the 2002 version of John McCain... not so much for the 2009 Re-Imagining... I hate remakes.

Nobody could understand what W. said most of the time either.

Yes, exactly! And we saw how that failed to work out, too!

Personally, I don't care if she runs for president or not, it's a free country, she can do what she wants! But, I don't see how quitting your job as governor is the correct thing to do, if you're even remotely interested in running for president, because it's a pretty irresponsible thing to do!

IF the Republican elite DO get her nominated and run her for president, it's BECAUSE they want Mr. Obama to retain the office! Because---all levity aside---unless something drastically changed---it would be the
most lop-sided election in presidential history, AGAINST her!

I can only imagine the campaign---which, probably would be good for a
lot of laughs---but, it would also possibly destroy the last vestige
of belief many Americans might yet have regarding the usefulness of government as it is currently constituted!
