Comments on: Palin A "Shooting Star Crashing To Earth"?

GOP Strategist Ed Rollins Says Her Resignation Hurts Any 2012 White House Run She Might Be Mulling

Palin is gone? Good! I got sick of seeing Caribou Barbie's mug pasted on my TV screen. The Republican answer tot he one-hit wonder needs to fade off into the sunset, and never again bother the people of this nation with her nonsense. Republicans are not good for this nation, and her vice-presidency would have been a disaster.
Ahhh yes, and she is blaming the ethics investigations for her early departure. How pathetic! For one thing, in an era where Bush deceived conservatives into thinking they could do whatever they wanted to do, it is good to see the Alaska state legislature inquiring about Palin and her possible wrongdoing. Conservative lawmakers need to know they are not above the law. Also, if the Alaska taxpayers are her concern, all she had to do was refrain from using their money improperly. So typical of a politician to get caught with his or her hand in the cookie jar, then try to play politics. It was not 'politics' that got Palin caught up in this mess; it was her jetsetting her family all over the country on the campaign trail, having her sister's ex terminated from his job for no reason other than she no longer liked him, etc. These possible violations needed to be investigated. If Caribou can't take the heat, she did right to get out of the kitchen...

I'm tired of seeing Obama's face plastered all over my tv too everyday but I live with it!

Will someone please specifically describe what characteristics Sarah Palin possesses that would make her a good choice as POTUS? I'm serious! Exactly what?

[welcomefrien]

Who cares what Sarah Palin does? She is just a small town, self promoting rookie thrown into the spotlight by an impulsive "maverick". Let her fade away as she should. Why does stupidity seem to be a prerequisite for conservatism?

First impressions are lasting and I don't think Sarah Palin can undo the massive political damage. Not rich by todays standards, Sarah Palin has obviously shed the Alaska Governors job to fill her coffers without restrictions by being paid for speaking engagements leading up to the next political contest and to get back to wearing those expensive clothes she was forced to return given to her by the Republican machine. Sarah Palin had one Achilles Heel but now she has two! First, her husband Todd was a 7 year member of the Alaska Independence movement whose Charter is to break away from the United States, Sarah Palin continues to lie about her husbands membership and participation. Next, she is now viewed as a quitter by resigning as Alaska Governor 18 months before her term ends because the going got rough and would probably resign and quit if elected President as well. Sarah Palin can't even cite Governor of Alaska as experience since she will never have completed her term and leaving 18 months early can and will be used against her. Sarah Palin's novelty will continue to wear off and only the 28% Republican base will embrace her which is not enough to win anything, I don't see Independents supporting Palin in large numbers.

Resigning didn't damage Palin's career, she was able to do that just by opening her mouth

[speakinup22]

At least she knew when to get out of politics....

Biden STILL hasn't figured it out.

The only woman who has a chance of becoming President of the United States in the near future is Chelsea Clinton, who will be old enough to run by the time the Obama Administration will be riding off into the sunset between Nov. of 2016 and Jan. of 2017.

I have news for you-she'd win.

[vannuys]

I sincerely hope Palin gets the nomination because President Obama will beat her worse than the Nebraska Cornhuskers beat anyone they play in September.

538-0.

[skeetchamp]

that was a very long, rambling news conference that seemed to have no direction or point. Palin was incoherent -- is she abusing drugs?

[vinnyb5]

Seriously, have you ever seen such attention paid to a state governor. Seems like every time a personably, appealing conservative comes along, the media does all they can to focus on their negatives...I wonder why.

Do you think anyone in the media will ask John edwards if hes the father of that child. funny how that story just dropped.
