Sarah Palin on Her Resignation: 'Politically Speaking, if I Die, I Die. So Be It'
Some of the visitors left Palin messages in a guest log.
"Sarah — Please Stay!" one person wrote.
Kathy Waldo-Gilbert, a registered Democrat from Iowa who was on her honeymoon in Alaska, said she was especially disappointed because she believes that Palin's early departure from the governor's job will make it harder for other women who want to be taken seriously in high-profile positions. Waldo-Gilbert voted Republican for the first time in last year's presidential election.
"When things get hard, you stick around," she said.
Palin will be succeeded by Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who has announced he will seek to retain the office in the 2010 election.
State Rep. John Harris, a former House speaker and Republican from Valdez, announced Monday that he's preparing to file paperwork with state election officials in a bid for governor.

GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN
IN MY OPINION GOVERNOR PALIN IS A TRUE AMERICAN AND ONE WHO CAN LEAD OUR COUNTRY BACK TO FISCAL AND MORAL SANITY. I PRAY SHE WILL BE A LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS.
SHE HAS MILLIONS OF SUPPORTERS WHO WILL WORK FOR AND CONTRIBUTE TO HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. AMERICA NEEDS MORE LEADERS LIKE GOVERNOR PALIN.
THANK YOU GOVERNOR PALIN.

I hope the people of Pennsylvania see the true nature of their latest Democratic Senator - its not about principals or ethics or getting the job done - its strictly about getting re-elected. It would be nice if our politicians would put the country first = but its really about ME first and changing stripes as necessary for personal survival and to heck with everyone else. Good luck Sarah, at least we know where she stands and will remain.

If the Republicans think that abandoning your job as Gov. makes you fit to run for the White House I wouldn't be suprised. This party really needs to get it together. It has turned into a joke. They need to reboot and not with Ms. Alaska. Please try again. Give the democrats something to work with instead of turning polotics into a worse mess. I beg of you!!!!
