I've largely avoided any comment about her resignation as Governor of Alaska. I think continually writing about her only feeds some craving she seems to have for attention.
That being said, I think it's important I spell out why I think she's leaving her job after only a couple of years, and leave it at that.
I think the Republican Party is forcing her out. Think I'm off-base? As if the GOP had enough reasons to force her out? Check this out and judge for yourself
(http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_07/018961.php; emphasis mine) -
"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said."
(This was her answer when asked by ABC News' Kate Snow, if she ever decided to pursue national office again, wouldn't she encounter the same sorts of reactions in the media and public).
Think the GOP wants someone like this running for President of United States? She has no idea about the basics of the structure of federal political offices are in the United States. And yet, it's rumored that she's eyeing at 2012 Presidential run?
I think it's plausible the GOP on some level forced her out of office. The reasons are obvious -
1. She doesn't really know anything - The above link demonstrates that.
2. By quitting her office now, she deprives herself of something even W could claim to have - governmental experience.
The majority of the country likely see her as W on high heels. While she might be popular among social conservatives, so was W.
Her apparent lack of intellectual horsepower, her apparent desire to neither understand nor perform her current job would be politically disastrous for the GOP, and a complete disaster for the United States. She's already linked to the losing McCain Presidential ticket from 2008. Now in addition to being labeled a political loser, she's now a political quitter too.
Consquently, barring any major initiative failures or political disasters where any failures are directly attributed to Obama Administration, I don't think she's electable. I also think the GOP knows this also.
Assuming Obama and his adminstration achieve even some of their political goals, if she were the nominee, the Republicans would be trounced in the 2012 elections, and perhaps cease to be a viable political party for the right-wing. They are already losing support, and becoming increasingly irrelevant on a daily basis.
All of this should not be too surprising to my bazillion readers though, as I think this previous quote demonstrates -
"As for Palin - all about ambition, nothing else. Her sad fake routine (very reminiscent of Bush) will fool only the incredibly ignorant. One can hope that the country, having endured close to eight years of this with Bush, will learn from that mistake once and for all. Her lack of substance demonstrated she really should not be in public office at any level."
