Retiring my Palin-Jindal pin
If she can't stand the heat and won't complete the term she was elected to, I don't want her for President of the U.S. She may have good reasons--and family and harassment from the press would certainly be enough--but that won't go away for an even tougher office and scrutiny. She is now the gal the press, both liberal and conservative, love to hate. Best would have been to get back to the job of being governor.- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced Friday that she was resigning her office later this month, a stunning decision that could free her to run for president more easily but also raises questions about her political standing at home.
Palin disclosed the surprise news Friday afternoon from her home in Wasilla with her husband, Todd, and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who the governor said would take over the state on Saturday, July 25. http://www.politico.com/

I am enjoying your Lakeside blogs and am pretending that I am there and not here. Don't give up on Sarah Palin yet. I think she has an ace hidden somewhere. She will only be 52 in 2016. The Dem's kids are off limits but hers sure haven't been. She can earn more private money for her family by
becoming a speaker and consultant and still have family time. The fellow stepping up to take her place will do a good job for Alaska. The influential women in Alaska seem to be surrounding her and that is a good sign. I was on
a committee once looking for good women in Ohio politics to oust Chalmers P. Wylie. We had no luck. Those with money had no clout and those with clout had no money. Our sainted president didn't have any problem drawing his
Senatorial paycheck while running for a higher office. I am glad Sarah isn't following his example.
Are we sick of Michael Jackson coverage? He was gifted musically but he was a strange bird. No wonder he died at 50. Plastic surgery is one of the most painful things that I have undergone including child birth and I didn't have all the pain killing drugs available to me that the rich and famous seem to have. I miss your faces. B.
She trives on the media coverage and the complaining of such. She will probably never be low-profile. She'll be back, as will the Republican party...it is as it should be. Two party system..and I do not mean one on Friday Night and one on Saturday Night, remember that old joke. I believe in the two party system...I have a friend,in her youth, was a party girl and she used to love to say that. Hang in there you guys.
John Fund, July 8: "In helping to convince Sarah Palin that her road forward in national politics would demand even more sacrifices and pain than exacted from most politicians, the media did nothing to encourage women or people of modest means to participate in politics. By sidestepping her critics, Sarah Palin is now moving to another playing field where she has more control over the rules of the game. Her friends say her critics may call her a "quitter" now, but they should wait and see what new role she decides to fill. She may wind up having the last laugh."
