This morning on The Early Show, CBS reported that Sarah Palin was running for President in the next election.I was wondering where they got this info,or is this yet another example of politicaly bias journalism?

Let's face it. If McCain hadn't plucked her out of obscurity, we would never have heard of her, because she doesn't have the chops to make it on her own. She can't think on her feet (as evidenced by her interviews) and has little desire to learn outside what she just is required to know, i.e., lacking intellectual curiosity. The requirements for small town mayor and governor of 600,000 people are light and when she got to the big leagues, she fell flat on her face. And it wasn't because of the media - unless you consider the question "what magazines do you read" to be a big trap. And the only reason she got elected in the (heavily male-populated) state of Alaska is because she's hot. These are not qualities that scream "presidential candidate" and I doubt that the GOP will give her a chance, unless they become desperate. But with a number of their golden boys falling from grace recently, they may become just that.

Thank you tmittelstaed! It was getting a little frustrating reading those comments from people who took the Tina Fey comment out of context. People seem to have forgotten the REAL incident behind that comedy skit!

Why so glad you were able to sneak in a joe biden comment about Jindal and 7/11. How very elitist of you.
Now, if your stupid, inane remark were made by a conservative I do think we would be treated to a barrage of "RACIST".

For those slamming Palin for having the AUDACITY to even mention her children,I would like to try a get a few things cleared up. So, now that the libs are truly IN POWER!! and I do mean, POWER (to totally screw this country up), we need ground rules.
So, when you libtards, and some of your political leaders, as well as your msm attack a Republican, his or her children, and family in general, the new rules are that the Republican attacked cannot respond to those attacks.
Are those the rules now?? See, in her speech yesterday she referred to a recent attack by your press on her son Trig. I personally don't know what that attack was as I don't read any of your lib garbage. I don't doubt that she spoke the truth as you, your politicians and your media have been relentless.
So, when she had the AUDACITY to respond to that attack many of you libtards here took issue with that.
WHY?
See, you people don't just attack an opponents political views, you attack and attempt to destroy them personally.
Good work.
Now, I'm not saying you people were successful in destroying Palin, nope, she's too strong for that.
But, good work anyway, attacking children is sooooo liberal.

Every word you said is true! The liberals love to attack and even love to destroy people personally but when the reublicans defend themselves they are the ones that are considered to be in the wrong! The liberals jump on them with both feet!

Saying she is taking her fight "in a new direction," Sarah Palin announced today that she will resign as governor of Alaska and will not seek a second term.
----
That's because Sarah wouldn't win a second term and that shoots her out of the water for a prez bid in 2012 and she knows it.

Resigning his job as governor didn't shoot Bill Clinton out of the water! He went on to win two terms as president and he had scandals surrounding him too, the Whitewater scandal and the Monica Lewinsky mess, and he isn't all that smart either! He is also a country hick hillbilly from Hope, Arkansas and his nickname is Bubba!

Yea, they would be accepted if the hung around with self proclaimed terrorists that bomb buildings. Or hey, how about going to a church that dams America. Yea, that would be better.
Happy dependence day,libtard. Put your ACORN,oops, Community Activists International, shirt on and fly that commie flag.

So, tell us, just who kept Palin in the spotlight?? Was it Palin herself or was it your media? Try and think there. You called her a "drama queen", just who kept bringing her up.
It is your media that speculates.
I just love how the first thing your party does is call the opposition stupid. Wow, for a party that has the likes of pelosi, reid, and biden that is funny.
As for the "I can see Russia,etc,etc." It was your messiah that droned in a campaign speech about how he has campaigned in all 57 states.
Then again, for a guy who served exactly 140 days in Congress and voted present AND never wrote a bill... Why he's doing a wonderful job.
Me, personally, I like the woman and I don't think she deserved all the hate and bile that your party and your media threw at her.

You sound extra bitter because America has booted the nutball GOrPse party to the curb. I'll pray for you. HAHA!

sirman, wrong there libtard. Why, for your messiah's coronation Dulles Airport handled over 600 private jets. Now, just who did they belong to my lemming friend?? HMMM?? Did they belong to Republicans??
So, just WHO in the Republican party is flying around on private jets??
Could it be al gore??
See, lemming, you continue to buy into the race baiting, class envy, class warfare that your party uses.
Open your addled brain there. See, the likes of madoff contributed solely to members of your party and to the DNC itself.
Do some research, look things up on sites other than the huffington post or the dailykos. See, libtard, Goldman Sachs contributed SOLELY to your party.
Why, your messiah and the missus are living quite well. While he drones on about how we "can't live the way we used to", the missus and the kids fly on a private jet for shopping sprees.
The proud michelle has her own hairdresser and make-up artist. Why this is a real first for a first lady.
So, cut the cr%p out about RICH Republicans already.
It just plain isn't true.
BTW-have a great dependence day and, your guvmint check won't be in until Monday.

Palin is either:
1. Running from a coming scandal.
2. Throwing a hissy fit because she can't get her way in Alaska anymore.
3. Has had a vision of Jaysus, spoke to him in tongues and he's told her to quit and build and ark.

I vote for #1. But #3 is my second choice!

Frankly I think she did it to stop all the michael jackson coverage your media has been so fixated on.
Just look at all you libs, frothing at the mouth. Why you lemmings are actually salivating at this news.
The woman was right, give the masses another story any your media will be covering this for months.
