FURTHER UPDATE: Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.
Republicans consultants are calling the Palin resignation political suicide and I think they're correct.
Alaska as a whole has around half the population of San Diego, CA. That she didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stick out whatever is going on there politically shows that she doesn't have the tenacity and force of will to endure the stresses of a presidency.
I have to believe, also, that the GOP establishment, which has always been uncomfortable with Palin and her ardent evangelical following had its mood buoyed because it effectively clears the way for Mitt Romney (even if Romney's Mormon beliefs will cause problems with certain members of the Republican religious right base), a white male businessman with gubernatorial experience, the very demographic the GOP is most comfortable with.
By the way, anyone remember the old SCTV show? Doesn't Palin remind you of Edith Prickly?
Girl??? I need to ask my wife about that. hmmmm Nice personal attack from you. I see that you like to attack and not willing to accept it in return, something like your messiah in the Whitehouse. I don't care one way or another about Palin but I would never go after anyone the way you libs do or the way so many damn Pubs do. It is sickening and nothing else. Don't like the truth? Then you had better watch MSNBC.
"Little girl" was directed at S. Palin.
She needs to grow up.
What I find offensive is the fact that the Dems and Repubs go after people until they see death in their eyes. I think all people who do such things are horrible people, and that includes Dukie baby.
Her speech reads even worse than it sounded on TV:
Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and “go with the flow”.
Of Course Palin Quit...She's About To Be Investigated For Embezzlement
The "Family Values" Party strikes again!
"Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few “buddies,” according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house."

Wow, I will truly miss those late night SNL Skits, life is not fair...
