I was a democrat until I started my own investigation into Obama. I knew I would never support him. I wasn’t crazy about McCain but when he chose Palin I thought this is it. I voted McCain. But only because of Palin. If she is on the ticket next time she has my vote. She is not a phony like the rest. She will do what is the best for this country, not for herself. I think she’s proved that. And if McCain would have turned her loose and let her do it her way McCain would be president.

Regarding Palin — Much can happen between now and 2012; it’s possible Palin may run on a third party ticket. If the socialist democrats continue on their present course most of America is going to be really upset. I think 2010 will give us a hint of that as a possibility, that is if we can keep ACORN’s fingers out of the pie!

you’ve nailed it. and what we need are more “Sarah Palins” in the party or we are defecting en masse.
We keep sending in our donations to the Republican this and Republican that and 59 million held our noses and punched the chad for Mccain but how long can we stand to do it? Newtie and Steele had better get out of the way and make room for some young turks and female whippersnappers…

Jane,

Whatever Sarah Palin does for the future will end up leaving a positive legacy for years to come. If she decides not to run in 2012, she will help the candidate who is out to defeat Obama. Obama will cause us to lose thousands of troops because of his big blunders, and will even make some of the most liberal Democrats “spew up their lunch”! Some of Obama’s blunders will be the way he handles the crises in Afghanistan, North Korea, and the Middle East. These will be “Emperor” Obama’s crowns of thorns.

Woopi!!! Sarah you are one great lady with more guts and spunk than the whole of Capitol Hill put together. They are scared that Palin would show them up with her honesty, and concern for her State of Alaska. I wish other politicians had her ethics and would not rob their state coffers while running for other positions.
Jane I was at a Rally on the 4th July and all the folks I spoke with were for Our Lady Palin, bringing smiles and hope.

Dear Jane:
When I read your 3rd paragraph, I mistakenly thought you had misspelled the word flair. On subsequent readings, I have concluded that you actually meant the spelling you used, and Sarah Palin is taking on all comers with something that dazzles, blinds, bewilders, and stupefies her enemies. Very clever of you. Very clever of our beautiful, guileless future leader, taking us into a Heaven-sent 180-degree turnaround in our nation’s history. The mental picture evoked by your narrating the story of Andrea Mitchell in waders being rightfully chided by an abused Sarah Palin is priceless. Let’s all pray for Sarah as she holds that Flare of Freedom high.
Vaya con Dios!

Pat,

Perhaps you have heard so much spin, you are just stuck. Please go back and re-read this column. It wasn’t that she couldn’t take the heat — she has had that every since she began poking her finger in the eyes of the establishment. However, it has intensified since she became a national figure to the point that it has paralyzed her state. She did it to allow her Lt. Gov. to move forward with her reform agenda. She didn’t want Alaska to lose that opportunity. She did the right thing for Alaska and she is just going to let the chips fall where they may.

Sarah will be an outsider inside the “Beltway”.

She is not a lawyer, as are 90+% in congress.

She has worked in a business. 80% of congress has not.

She has executive experience and BO and most others up there do not.

She has common sense. That certainly makes her an outsider.

Really a missfit for D. C. She might even stand up for the taxpayer.

I don’t consider myself a liberal loon, so that must mean I’m delusional. Assuming Sarah Palin has ambitions for higher office, I don’t see how her resignation furthers them. If she quit because of the attacks on her family then what will she do the next time she runs? The attackers aren’t going away. The people who filed baseless ethics charges against her in Alaska will simply find a national audience. The charges won’t go away. Tasteless comics and ambitious journalists aren’t going away. What if Palin had endured the same attacks after being elected vice-president? Would those attacks not have mattered or would John McCain be exercising his powers under the 25th Amendment? Nothing about this makes any sense.

Jane, another winning column. Bravo! So much speculation on Palin when, in fact, she has said what she means and means what she said. No hidden agenda. She is going to campaign for worthy conservative candidates begining in Texas with Rick Perry. She will excite the conservative movement, the grass roots movement, as we’ve not seen in decades. Goal? To change the majority in the House and pull out some of those unbelievable Democrats in the Senate, starting with Harry Reid and Chris Dodd. The excitment and size of the tea parties indicate this will be a rousing grass roots revival of the America we knew and love! Go Sarah! Go Jane!
