Sarah Palin Resigns ... For Now

My take on Sarah Palin's resignation? She's totally (and unfortunately) gunning for President. In reading articles that describe the resignation speech, it's hard to picture it leaving any impression other than Sarah Palin wants to hide under a rock, away from the public scrutiny that has engulfed her life and her family. But once you watch the resignation speech for yourself, you cannot come away thinking anything but that this is all tactical maneuvering for a presidential bid. ...Keeping her "eye on the ball," as she calls it.

I can't imagine she will actually run for president. I could see her seeking a federal appointment under the next Republican president, but I think she has to know that she has no chance seeking the presidency.

Maxim, unfortunately, there's simply no other viable candidate that has energized the Republican party as much as she has of late. Hopefully that will change over the next 3 years, but unless it does, I think the Republicans are counting on her -- to their own demise.

Palin is totally gunning for her own talk show. I think she's leaving all the political nonsense behind for La la land (ie West Coast DC) lifestyle of cameras, make-up, and quarter million dollar wardrobes. I predict that her penchant for the television spotlight will be her demise; the Republican party won't have to worry about her taking them down. Now we just have to sit back and watch how she spins her future in television as a way of healing the "gotcha media" and bringing Sarah Straight Talk to the American people. *Shudder*
