Agree...that's always been her style of defense ...her offense, too.

It's called honesty.

I'm not saying she's a Rhodes Scholar, but the crap you posted is over the top and sounds pretty elitist to me. Will she "have read a book" or "completed a sentence" or "learned English?" How about can she go poopy on her own with getting her butt wiped?

How about posting some real examples (and not the phony ones spread around during the election) of what you mean?

There are plenty of conservatives in Alaska who are not happy with the governor's antics.

I wouldn't look for her in '12.

The media has gotten rid of Palin, who is next? Can there not be one dissenting voice?

Some Republican strategists expressed skepticism about Palin's decision.

"I'm not smart enough to see the strategy in this," said John Weaver, a senior party strategist. "Good point guards don't quit and walk off the court."

Yeah, I think Romney's biggest hurdle might be getting the GOP nomination - mainly because much of the Religious Right doesn't trust the Mormons. I think their skepticism about having a Mormon as President is perhaps greater than the typical Democrat's reluctance to have a Mormon President.

And that's fine if true, but there's a huge difference between people being unhappy with a Governor's performance and this childish nonsense about "will she learn English" blah, blah, blah.

Palin got rid of herself thankfully..When you accept a VP nomination, you accept media scrutiny. She couldn't handle it.

Palin voluntarily stepped down as the governor of Alaska. If she had actually been attending to state business instead of sticking her face into every lower forty eight camera in sight, the media would have forgotten about her by now.
