And all of the above qualifies her to quit her most responsible elected office half way through the term. But in no way does this information hint that she could perform ... or complete ... a more responsible elected office.

The Lady never takes a bad picture! I'd vote for her just for looks but I'll vote for her for her acomplishments instead.

A bit early to make a firm choice, but Sarah Palin's resume reflects the one person (Republican or Democrat etc.) who is a breath of fresh air amongst the polluted atmosphere that is Washington and national politics.
Harry Truman (One of the greats) said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." ... Palin can handle the heat!

The right is embarrassed by her, and the left considers her a joke. She is little more than an opportunist who would be at least as bad for this country as Obama. She gained the governorship of Alaska through lies, charisma, and theatrics, and using the same methods almost got McCain the presidency; the only difference is that she didn't expect Obama to be better at those things than she is.

I live in Alaska, have met our ex-governor quitter (this is not unusual in our state, nearly every large town has an inaugural ball and we all gather to meet the governor) and I can honestly say she is quite charismatic. But, when Ms. Palin set off on the VP race she returned a different person. No longer was she a booster of Alaskans' interests, she became a promoter of her own interests. It is an embarrassment.

From the little that I have heard and seen of her, the potential for a cannidate for office is possible, but much depends on the strength of her faith, and the kind of support that she can have i.e. will it be reliable and solid and helpful to the American Public. When one heard how she cleaned up the 'gov.' in her state that gave me a glimmer of hope regarding if that would be possible for the rest of the gov. in the places of the areas of great need !!!! As a possible cannidate if she is able to get on the ballot and have enough support vote wise, and have a strong close faith with the LORD as in Jesus Christ, as her Leader, and a strong supportive husband, then I think there is a real possibility we could have a real first, and hope and pray that it will be a solid good leadership. But with the potential of the others it is also hard to know, who will be elected and of the nominees possible, to work with, the more choices the less strength in the vote as in too many spread out, and too many for the one we are sure we don't want to have. So much prayer is needed for the right blend of President to be and V.P.to work well in conjunction with what the Public needs to have and keep it as Conservative as is much needed for this Country to follow God and clean up the others, via transformation of their lives to Jesus Christ as SAVIOR and Lord. But that does have to be a 'free will choice, if it is forced then it is not Free Will. The Lord knows this far better than we do !!! So much prayer, wisdom and discernment is needed for the one whom the Lord knows is best for now and confession and repentance from sin by those who are causing much distress for this country.

I like her and the left is affraid of her so they keep putting her down no mater what she says or does. Obama can say all kinds of things that are not true and they don't even say a word about it like the bridge that fell it was not from wear it was frim a poor design but he thinks it was from not haveing the money to repair it they found out after the bridge fell it had nothing to do with work that need to be done it was just poor design but her got a pass on what he said their that is just one of his mistake. He can't keep his promise he made to the people in 08 to get elected even though he had the house and senate,the only thing he got done was a teriable health care bill, which most of Americans don't want and put our country in so much debt that we could lose our freedom that many have fought and died for this is just how I feel he HASN"T KEEPT HIS WORD AND HE WANT US TO RELECT HIM ANYONE WOULD BE BETTER EVEN SARAH WHO PEOPLE RUN DOWN A LEAST SHE WANTS TO DRILL FOR OIL IN OUR COUNTRY AND NOT GIVE BILLIONS TO BRIZAL

Its so ironic that Palin is so unpopular and yet complaining she's not the center of attention anymore.
The media is sparing her the embarrassment of covering how she much she is despised. But folks are not seeing what really happened in Madison last weekend when Sarah Palin get shouted down in Wisconsin. It was a typical Koch astroturf event, Palin collecting her 100k fee, teapunkers bused in, expensive sound and big audio systems. Yet the buses were almost empty this time.
Yet lo and behold there was a mere couple hundred tea party supporters outnumbered and surrounded by some 6000 Wisconsin protestors yelling and ringing their cow bells - no one in the crowd heard any of Palin's speech and she fled after less than fifteen minutes.
Palin is irrelevant except to the 'nutty right', she's a has-been, her fifteen minutes are over. The media is best to ignore her anymore.
All the skeletons are starting to fall out of her closet. There's a juicy tell-all coming out soon and it promises to be good.
If the media was really paying attention to her, they would have to report on the US soldier convicted of murdering Afghans as part of the "kill squad" who just happened to be a friend of the Palin family, growing up and playing with Palin's kids.
Folks like the soap opera that follows around Palin for her nasty character and her excellent impression of Cruela de'Ville. Everyone knows she is irrelevant in politics any more- she doesn't stand for anything. Palin is just trying to cash in on her fading star.

I like Sarah alot. The press has treated her unfairly. From the first time I heard her speak I liked what she stood for and how she said it. I agree some times she sounds a little shrill, that is an problem she could work on. I personally want an honest, hard working man to be our president, but believe Sarah could run again for Vice President. Last time she helped McCain increase in popularity and I believe she could do that again. New rules, the press must leave the family alone and only attack political position not the person. Is that possible?

if we let the President and friends rob us of the constitution and bill of rights so the one world order will be law and the brother hood will be law GOD HELP US ALL if it happens the world will see how we reclaim our freedom and take back what has been taken from us let us not have another Pearl Harbor KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND KEEP YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
