Leftist Christmas in July: Sarah Palin Resigns
The Sundries Shack —
... with nothing better to do. The last I saw, there had been 15 of them in just a few months. I have to think they took appreciable time to fight — time that she could have been spending doing her job as Governor. It doesn’t look like this is the last we’ll see of Palin in public office. I suspect that we won’t see her in 2012 as a Presidential candidate but you never know. She’s taken an unusual route to where she’s gotten. I won’t rule anything out. Updates as news warrants. UPDATE : The Anchoress also has a running thread . Keep your eyes there as well. She’s prone to ...

SARAH PALIN TO resign as governor?
UPDATE: Thoughts from John Hawkins and The Anchoress.
I don’t know if it has anything to do with her decision, but she’s been subjected — along with her family — to more abuse than any other non-national-officeholder I can think of.
ANOTHER UPDATE: More thoughts from Tigerhawk. Plus, here’s video.
Also, Palin Quits To Spend More Time with Couric, Gibson. Meanwhile, C.J. Burch emails that she may be trying a Tea Party run. Could be.
MORE: Some readers think she’s cut a TV deal, and that’s why she ...
Sarah Palin to Resign

... him at the right moment. Beyond that, at some point, “but Obama did it that way” isn’t a persuasive argument.) Departing with little or no warning, after about 30 months in office, is beyond surprising. I’m sure the Lieutenant Governor will do fine, but there’s definately a sense of leaving with work unfinished and as her career was just beginning to take off. MSNBC is speculating a scandal. Maybe she doesn’t want to president and she is just tired of all the crap being thrown at her. The Anchoress speculates: I’m thinking…an ambitious woman like Palin would not do something so ...

... - that this is what she believes would be better for Alaska and her family. The new governor won't be a lame duck and her family can get out of the spotlight. The Anchoress speculates that there is some health-related reason. Color me unmoved by the thought of a Palinless political future. While I was very excited about her when McCain chose her and after her convention speech, she left me disappointed during the rest of the campaign. She couldn't seem to move beyond clichés in both her speeches and debate appearances. And no matter how supporters tried to spin it, her ...

Will Sarah Palin become the next Ross Perot?

... helping others – to fight for our state and our country, and campaign for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops, and energy independence.”
Look, I sure hope she has a huge ace up her sleeve because from here it sure looks like a Perot-like maneuver. In Jonah Goldberg’s words, “You’re blowing it”.
Her political career is not going to recover from this.
The Anchoress basically agrees.

What's behind Sarah Palin's sudden resignation?
Wizbang —
Sarah Palin's announcement that she's not running for reelection for governor in 2010 and will step down and hand the reins to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell on July 26th was a shock to everyone. Of course, everyone is speculating why. The Anchoress wondered if she or someone in her family is sick and she mentioned how thin she has become lately. Others are wondering if she is positioning herself for a 2012 run. Those who tend to see the world through a bit more cynical colored glasses are speculating that there's another scandalous shoe to drop. I have to admit, being a ...
