sarah palin resigns: is she fleeing scandal?
Published Jul. 4, 2009Views: 1004
What is behind Palin's resignation from office?
Palin's shocking announcement seems to belie plans for a Presidential run. Generally, when you run for election to a high office it's understood that you'll stick around to do the job. She only had 18 months left, she should have at least completed that term. A quitter never succeeds.
If it turns out Palin is fleeing office in the face of something more egregious or scandalous, we would be averaging the loss of one GOP Presidential hopeful per week. Perhaps it will be revealed that Palin and SC governor Mark Sanford had a liaison during one of those Republican governor conferences. Palin has been absent alot lately from Alaska, and her popularity rating has decreased to 55%.
Stay tuned, these Republicans are fun to watch.

I find myself wondering what the fallout against Letterman would have been had he said the same thing about one of Obama's young daughters.
Praying for her and her family.
God bless.

If she were a democrat, she would not be treated so bad. Really a sad situation... I feel sorry for her and her family to have such vicious enemies.

Had someone attacked say, the Obama girls, there would be hell to pay. It takes a miserable low class person to attack kids.
Whatever her reasons are for resigning, I'm sure we will all find out in time. In the meantime, there is more for people to be concerned with. Starting with a money hungry President.

The main article says Alaska spent $300,000 investigating her and she spent $500,000 defending herself while she only made $125,000 per year as governor.
God bless.
