I still haven't recovered. <br /><br />Back in civilization I find that the MSM and a lot of pundits are still scratching their heads. While no one will know until Gov Palin will reveal her plans there are some hints. She did say when she returned to Alaska after the lost campaign, that she would return to national politics some day, but then with a totally different grass-roots campaign. Also, there a more than a small hint in her past. No one except Gary in RedState seems to remember that far back: <a href="http://www.redstate.com/gary4205/2009/07/05/sarah-palin-declares-her-independence/" rel="nofollow">http://www.redstate.com/gary4205/2009/07/05/sarah-palin-declares-her-independence/</a><br /><br /><i>"He appointed her as Chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. An important job. One that regulates Alaska’s most important activities, oil and natural gas production.</i><br />.....<br /><i>Now mind you, this is a high paying gig. Six figures. Something a mother of four had to be thinking about.</i><br /><br /><i>So, what did Sarah do? Well, she committed “political suicide” and resigned from the post. She then took her fight to the people. She also filed formal complaints. We all know the result of this effort."</i><br /><br />Hmmm.....<br /><br /><br />PS: Ann Coulter also weighs in on the resignation:<a href="http://www.wowowow.com/politics/ann-coulter-explains-palins-exit-330908" rel="nofollow">Ann Coulter Explains Palin's Exit</a>Mikgennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-11745313023396927942009-07-05T00:42:48.000+01:002009-07-05T00:42:48.000+01:00fa, fa, fa, what the faaak did I link to??

Unless you were being funny, I would suggest that you stop watching rubbish like that. <br /><br />Of course, I hope that Palin will not disappear. She is a skilful and clever politician who has achieved a good deal already in Alaska and in energizing the GOP grassroots. They need her. <br /><br />As I was writing the posting I recalled the Nixon story about not having him to kick around. Then he was back, stronger than ever. I don't think Palin has his personality faults but part of Nixon's problem was the horrendous abuse he had had to take from the media plus the dodgy 1960 election results that he did not contest for America's sake. <br /><br />Actually, I do not think women necessarily abuse each other more than men abusing women. The ghastly misogyny that disgraced the 2008 election campaign was directed at Hillary as well (whom I don't like because of her politics and personality) and came mostly from Obama's camp and the media (but I repeat myself.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-30935986332453436442009-07-04T21:29:06.000+01:002009-07-04T21:29:06.000+01:00Sarah Palin shot a snake while a witch hunt.

I think once that gets out in full detail and I am sure she will do that the people will be outraged. I am disappointed in Hot Air's reaction. She is the type of politician we have all been crying out for, a real genuine person, not one of these self proclaimed elites who are a disaster every which way.<br /><br />DaffersDGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-91413782236127815802009-07-04T20:29:13.000+01:002009-07-04T20:29:13.000+01:00As a Nationalist voting British person,I though Sa...As a Nationalist voting British person,I though Sarah Palin was something that you Americans needed,indeed send her over here if you don't want her.She could do no worse than the absolute shower we have in charge here!!whistlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-15591567265074201502009-07-04T19:06:23.000+01:002009-07-04T19:06:23.000+01:00When Richard Nixon lost the race for Governor of C...When Richard Nixon lost the race for Governor of California in 1962, he even wrote himself off in the famous press conference when he told the newsies, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore."

I think it's the right move, in keeping with the anti-politics theme of the age. I think that it suggests that Palin recognises that her enemies have created her brand, whereas she had chosen her job (Governor), and that the brand was overshadowing the job. Thus this was cheating the electors who put her in place. <br /><br />Now she is setting herself free to match her actions to a brand largely created by her enemies. Her enemies seemed to want an anti-abortion, small government bogeymom. Now perhaps they will have what they asked for, but without the folksiness of a small (population) state governor. It is a classic tactic to allow the weight of your opponent to create the momentum of his own fall; didn't Palin do judo some time? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_sarah_palin_know_martial_arts<br /><br />The jury's out on that one.ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-15027336197041674992009-07-04T18:04:27.000+01:002009-07-04T18:04:27.000+01:00It was the ethic complaints that did it and she ha...It was the ethic complaints that did it and she has blind sided them, I hope that she can make a name for her now attacking in the rigtht areas the gross mismanagement taking place now, I am sure however the Media will be fighting her every bit of the way.<br /><br />DaffersDGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-30421696079064855842009-07-04T17:09:48.000+01:002009-07-04T17:09:48.000+01:00Few women have been treated more shamefully by the...Few women have been treated more shamefully by their countrymen and, despite her folksiness wrongly interpreted as naïvete, she stands head & shoulders above her specious attackers.<br />I hope, for America's sake, we see more of her soon.permanentexpatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-71127539281966712692009-07-04T16:51:53.000+01:002009-07-04T16:51:53.000+01:00Plus, she's a lot better looking than Hilary. ...Plus, she's a lot better looking than Hilary.
