My Way News - Palin resigning as Alaska governor

WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she will resign from office July 26.

Her spokesman wouldn't say why Palin decided to step down, but the announcement stirred speculation that she would focus on a bid for the 2012 Republican nomination for president.

Spokesman Dave Murrow says Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month.

God, I hope she runs and gets the Rep nom that would give the Dems 4 more years almost for sure even with the crappy economy.

larrymcg421 · 07-03-2009, 03:10 PM

Seems odd the way she did it, though. It was abrupt, and the Lt. Governor didn't seem to know it was about to happen.

SackAttack · 07-03-2009, 03:11 PM

Speaking of unfortunate headlines, if you look at that page, the top two headlines on the list at the bottom of the page:

Palin resigning as Alaska governor
SC serial killer blamed for 4 deaths in 6 days

Flasch186 · 07-03-2009, 03:42 PM

Welp, if Palin runs for GOP nominee at least we'll be assured another interesting campaign season.

albionmoonlight · 07-03-2009, 03:45 PM

The geographical reality is that it is freaking hard to do a day job in Alaska and run down to Iowa and New Hampshire for visits and D.C., NYC, and L.A. for fundraisers.

Once you decide to be president, I guess you start working 100% for that sooner rather than later.

JPhillips · 07-03-2009, 03:53 PM

The resignation speech sure is interesting.

Hopefully she appears nude for some porno company somewhere.

From what I've been reading, that's actually how fast she was talking.

JPhillips · 07-03-2009, 04:23 PM

She's apparently said she's out of politics for good. I doubt that's true, but 2012 seems pretty doubtful now.

Autumn · 07-03-2009, 04:27 PM

That's a really odd video. On the one hand presumably her "new path" is national politics. But her comments about her son made it sound like she wanted to get out of the public limelight. I mean if she's worried about negative publicity then certainly running for president won't help.

I assume the new "climate in politics" she's going on about is Obama, but why did she say it started in August? I'm probably missing something obvious but I'm not sure what hapepned in August.

Yes indeed, that must have been what was off about it for me.

JPhillips · 07-03-2009, 04:43 PM

This begs the question, Is Mitt Romney a warlock?

In roughly a month Huntsman signed on with Obama and is out for 2012, Ensign had an affair an is out for 2012, Sanford had an affair an is out for 2012 and now Palin quits and is out for 2012. Tim Pawlenty better watch his ass, Mitt's out to destroy him.

M GO BLUE!!! · 07-03-2009, 04:50 PM

My God she is a, great American. I am proud to, share the same soil and air that this amazing woman knows she is privileged to breathe and stand, on. David Letterman and the other leftist waste should, be embarrassed to have such vile hatred for this great woman who we, would all be proud to vote for as the President! A great press conference from a great woman.

Schmidty · 07-03-2009, 05:25 PM

This makes me sad. People were brutal to the lady. Too bad she gave them what they wanted.

Lorena · 07-03-2009, 06:23 PM

Is she serious, grown ups were making fun of Trig? What jerks.

Tekneek · 07-03-2009, 06:29 PM

How bizarre. She's a weird one.

DaddyTorgo · 07-03-2009, 06:43 PM

no way she can run after this - the "quitter" thing would get thrown at her so often.

"problems with islamic terrorists? don't vote for sarah palin" (cut to video of her quitting speech)

Axxon · 07-03-2009, 06:44 PM

I don't get how quitting her job helps her run in 2012. It means she's a quitter. I'd understand her not running for reelection like Pawlenty is but just up and quitting? What would stop her from doing this if she became president? I'd think the democrats could run with that one.

I also think that the press has been brutal to her and her family. I really don't like her politics and would never vote for her but the mudslinging against the Palins has gotten way out of hand. Wouldn't surprise me if it just wasn't worth it to her. She will still write the book and she can always work on Fox. Lot easier than getting shit on all the time.

I'll just say I'm also wondering if there's a skeleton about to come out of her closet. It's the one thing that actually makes sense.

I don't think she will run. I think this is just a case of someone getting sick of all the assholes, and wants to put her family first.

I really hope there isn't a scandal, because of the glee that would bring people.

An Alaskan blogger photoshopped a conservative commentator's face over Trig's body to make fun of the close relationship that Palin and the commentator have.

Of course Palin spins that as mocking her down syndrome baby. The sad part is there are some Palin supporters out there that would hear the story and agree with her.

Well, sorta true. I don't believe she called that shot and I don't think she was ever politically savvy enough to really know the ramifications of this especially considering how much smoke the McCain camp was blowing up her Alaskan ass about how everyone was gonna love her.

Now that she knows what that means, if she's backing out of the limelight then more power to her.

If that is the way it went, I hope in 16 years she is somewhat thankful for the assholes. She shouldn't be routinely flying thousands of miles away from her special needs baby when she already has 3 children. I would say that for any father or mother.

What kind of mudslinging? I may have missed that. All of the coverage that comes to mind was legitimate, so please point me to some of the nonsense so I can be outraged by it as well.

Thomkal · 07-03-2009, 07:25 PM

Sarah Palin's problems lie at the feet of John McCain really. I mean he took a nearly completely unknown governor from a remote physically and politically state to one step away from the presidency of this country if they were elected. And with John McCain's 70+ year old body and mind it was more likely than not that she might have to step in for him from time to time if not permanently.

Yes the press did go over the line with her, but we the American people knew nothing about a potential President of the United States when McCain selected her as his running mate. The media like it or not was the primary way of finding out about her, so in some ways I can't blame them for going overboard. Quite honestly I'm not sure anyone could have dealt well with that level of scrutiny being such an unknown beforehand. Some things she handled well, some things she did not.

I saw it referenced sort of half joking online somewhere earlier today & figured it was more like one of those pie in the sky / run it up the flagpole sort of things until I started to mention it to a friend today ("Guess who I'm hearing might be a running mate for her...") and they answered immediately before I even got the question out of my mouth. Thing is, I know for certain we don't have the same info/surfing patterns, so she picked it up somewhere different than I did, and that's what led me to wonder if this was more widespread a story than I first thought.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-03-2009, 08:19 PM

While everybody seems to be thinking she's either fed up or going to be scandalized, my first thought was "oh shit, she's pregnant again".

Matthean · 07-03-2009, 08:27 PM

She came across as a person who was highly ignorant and ill prepared for the job in which she was trying to get elected to. She's the only candidate I know that I was genuinely scared to see get elected. Yes, even worse than Hillary.

Hahah - I think she's running in 2012. She knows her "star" moment is now, and she's going to get beaten like Goldwater, but why not? Mitt Romney dreams of having the kind of support that she does.

RainMaker · 07-03-2009, 08:43 PM

If she is running, I still don't get why she'd resign now. We're a year away from any real campaigning and padding your resume with another year as Governor doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Maybe she has figured that she will never win a national election. She could become a pundit of sorts, write books, give speeches, and make a crapload of money off her name.

lighthousekeeper · 07-03-2009, 08:54 PM

That speech may have been the longest, most painful single run-on sentence ever. I can't call it a resignation speech b/c I have no clue what she was talking about, though I think it involved basketball and trigonometry.

Young Drachma · 07-03-2009, 08:58 PM

The only thing she'd be running for in '12 is Class President of her college alumni class. She's more toxic to the GOP than TARP.

digamma · 07-03-2009, 09:09 PM

There's an interview with Palin in Runners World this month. I read that this morning and thought to myself, "hmm...maybe I have her wrong, and there's something to this really likable side of her." After seeing that video, where I, too, had no idea what she was talking about, I'm back to my original feelings.

And, oh the sports metaphors, "You have to keep your eye on the ball, and beat the full court press, when you hunker down and go with the flow, and then you know when to call an audible and pass the ball and go for the victory."

Schmidty · 07-03-2009, 09:11 PM

Wow!! What a surprise!!! Everyone piling on Palin!!!

I hope I never hear about her again, because I'm so sick of the japes and snipes at her. Yes, she would have been a bad president. Yes, she wasn't very polished. WE FUCKING GET IT!!

Schmidty · 07-03-2009, 09:14 PM

Dola.

The more I think about it, the more I kind of equate this to Jimmy Stewart in one of my favorite movies ever - "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Sure, she wasn't as perfect and innocent as Stewart's character, but the whole character assassination is very, very similar since she was so inexperienced.

miked · 07-03-2009, 09:14 PM

You made my point.

Yeah, she was annoyingly folksy and inexperienced, but what the fuck was she supposed to do? Say "No, I'm in politics, but don't want to be V.P. of the U.S.".

I'm sure I'll get piled on (like this board always does for politically different views), but I just think people in this country are basically assholes. Both sides. But people were particularly brutal to her. So kick her when she's down. Have fun!!

I read that this morning and thought to myself, "hmm...maybe I have her wrong, and there's something to this really likable side of her." After seeing that video, where I, too, had no idea what she was talking about, I'm back to my original feelings. And, oh the sports metaphors, "You have to keep your eye on the ball, and beat the full court press, when you hunker down and go with the flow, and then you know when to call an audible and pass the ball and go for the victory."

I hope I never hear about her again, because I'm so sick of the japes and snipes at her. Yes, she would have been a bad president. Yes, she wasn't very polished.

The more I think about it, the more I kind of equate this to Jimmy Stewart in one of my favorite movies ever - "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Sure, she wasn't as perfect and innocent as Stewart's character, but the whole character assassination is very, very similar since she was so inexperienced. __________________ Just beat the devil out of it!!! - Bob Ross
