Before the 4th of July Fireworks, Sarah Palin dropped a political cluster-bomb: She announced she was resigning the governorship of Alaska. Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell will take over as the 49th State's Governor by the end of this month.Sarah consulted with her entire family prior to making this announcement and they all agreed with her. The Palins are keeping mum about mom's motive for resigning.
So as of now, 4 days after the announcement, speculation is running rampant. Some say this is Palin's "cunning plan" to position herself as a presidential contender in 2012.
But normally no one likes a quitter. However, many feel Palin and her entire family have been heinously mistreated by the mainstream media (MSM) and other liberal organizations, so they're willing to cut her some slack.
On Laura Ingram's website her daily poll showed a split 50/50 as to whether or not Sarah Palin made a good decision about resigning. If of course, she does plan to run for the presidency.
Eventually we'll find out.
My opinion, for what it's worth, is this: Sarah Palin was hoping to go back to Alaska and be forgotten--until she made her bid for the Republican presidential candidacy. But the pundits and the MSM wouldn't leave her alone. Then when David Letterman made his distasteful joke about Palin's 14-year old daughter, along with the Vanity Fair article, I think Palin reached her "F--k this!" point.
Michelle Malkin rolls-in on Letterman's apology (of sorts):
