Let's parse the word 'quit'
Political Animal — LET'S PARSE THE WORD 'QUIT'.... John McCain, making his 10 gazillionth appearance on a Sunday morning show, was asked on "Meet the Press" this morning about his former running mate's decision to resign half-way through her only term as Alaska's governor. "I don't think she quit. I don't know if there was a quote promise [to the people of Alaska to continue serving as Governor]. But I do know that she will be an effective player on the national stage." Maybe McCain has some other definition of "quit"? Sarah Palin sought a job; she accepted the job; and now she's decided to ...

Will Sarah Palin Campaign For Blanche Lincoln And Joe Lieberman?
DownWithTyranny! — McCain says Palin's not a quitter and that she'll be a part of American politics for a long time to come, never mind all the missteps and idiocy. Frank Rich put it less positively: She broke the GOP and now she owns it. But my favorite picture of the Palin future in politics is how she plans to campaign for conservative ideals, not just for Republicans. The Washington Times says she could well campaign for the conservative Democrats as well. When I woke up this morning-- 4AM when the roosters all over Ubud started crowing-- I ...
