Raise a glass in celebration

Palin's resignation day arrives, future unclear


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090726/ap_on_re_us/us_palin_resignation


Alaska has a new governor and the right has gained a “near celebrity status” personality.

Should be a real nail biter of a future

I seriously hope that accident inst going to consider running for president. Sure the president is a person elected by the people but usually the person running for president has brains and some idea whats going on.

She resigned her position so she could be in a better position to help the state of Alaska. Of course, some could argue that the resignation in and of itself is more than sufficient assistance...

Politics aside, she and her family have been going through hell. And a lot of Alaskans thought they were doing the right thing when they voted for her as governor.

She has had a tough time with the media. She just wasn't ready to be put in such a huge spotlight, I think she may have bit off more than she can chew. I don't like her political viewpoints one bit, and think she severely lacks the judgment required for a huge position like VP (or even governor for that matter), but media have been relentless with their criticism. Who cares about her new granddaughter...Who cares about her ability to wear waders and fish....
