It Always Has Been About Trig
I waited a whole day before posting about the Sarah Palin resignation. Well, not a whole day, but longer than almost everyone else in the blogosphere. Here's my take as of this moment in time, subject to change: I don't know why Sarah Palin resigned, what her plans are, or whether she has or ...

How Palin Could Become President
Riehl World View — ... My only concern in the Palin fiasco is that there's no genuine corruption story coming out, and that's because I'd hate to see a lot of people disappointed. Assuming there are no big secrets, Palin has a great path to the presidency, though perhaps not the patience to pursue it. And I don't think she quit over the kids, Trig, or otherwise. But, who knows. ...

Some Thoughts On Sarah Palin
Wizbang — ... ). I agree somewhat with William Jacobson that much of what drives the hatred of Sarah Palin is her son Trig. Trig Palin is, to put it bluntly, a living and breathing indictment of the abortion industry that simply will not go away. Trig Palin's very existence makes the abortion advocates squirm in their seats and sweat. That's why so much energy and attention has been focused on the political and personal destruction of his mother. But there is another element to the Palin obsession on the Left. As has been thoroughly discussed on this site and in the comments, if Sarah ...

Sarah Palin Not Subject of FBI Investigation
Wizbang — ... These falsehoods abuse the right to free speech; continuing to publish these falsehoods of criminal activity is reckless, done without any regard for the truth, and is actionable." I'm glad she's standing up for herself. She and her children have been the targets of media campaigns to defame, malign, and besmirch them. The liberals and progressives in the media hate Sarah Palin to their cores so they want to destroy her any way they can, and I think William Jacobson is right that it has always been about Trig : If Sarah Palin had aborted Trig, the left would have been okay ...

The Left is Yelling About Palin Because They’re Afraid. Again.
The Sundries Shack — ... . I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it one more time: Sarah Palin scares the bejeezus out of the left. She is their very worst nightmare: an amazingly charismatic conservative who connects with huge swaths of the right (and more than a few on the left), an ardent protector of the unborn who has put her money where her mouth is (and believe me, the hate she engenders is as much about Trig as it is about anything ), a consistent and proven winner who attacks problems (and political opponents) from unexpected angles, and a successful, attractive, unashamed woman. The ...

Sarah Palin Clarifies Reasons for Resignation
Jesus' General — ... probably pretty darned small. So don't even go there. Or we'll sue you. Alaska and I are parting ways for one reason and one reason only: if you love something wild, you must set it free. And then you shoot it and mount it on your wall. And yes, look at what I've done to Alaska. I shot it and I'm now going to mount it on my wall of the accomplishments that prove I'm ready for the presidency. Hold on. This is the part where I hold little Trig out as bait so I can garner a little sympathy when some Howard Stern asshat wannabe takes a cheap, unconscionable ...
