As a service to all infected with PDS here (formerly BDS sufferers), these are your talking points and guide to how to think.
Alaska Democratic Party Statement:
"Alaskans are dismayed yet not surprised that Governor Palin is abandoning her obligations to our great state. Sarah Palin's decision to step down as governor is a shock to Alaskans, coming at a time when leadership is needed secure a gas pipeline and address rising unemployment. Palin's lack of commitment to her sworn obligation to serve her term to the best of her ability is a betrayal to all Alaskans," said Patti Higgins, Chair of the Alaska Democratic Party.
DNC Statement:
(Brad Woodhouse Communications Director for the DNC )
"Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can’t handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down. Either way - her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today."
We're still awaiting guidelines on how to respond when confronted with Obama didn't finish his term as Senator (some would argue never began), leaving the people of Illinois high and dry.

| I happen to agree with those two statements. I'm not a democrat by any stretch of the imagination, she has appeared to be a quitter and there isn't any honor in that, sorry. |

Then the same should apply to Obama? Look at the mess he left in Illinois by not finishing out his term. |

He won the Presidential election, that's the difference. I'd rather he'd stuck out his Senate obligations, but he did win and pretty much had to change his address at that point. No comparison, like it or not we're stuck with him, for now. |

Uh, no... your time line is a little off. He didn't run for
President as an Illinois state Senator. He abandoned that position
to further his own political ambitions to run for the U.S. Senate.
He then abandoned that position to, once again, further his own
political ambitions by running for POTUS.
I guess that makes him a quitter... twice.

Then everyone else who ran quit too? I wouldn't consider him a quitter, he's still bumming cigerettes isn't he?

Who the hell are they, us, or anyone else to force someone to work a job they don't want?
It's a great move. Her husband can now stand his 6-foot-plus frame in front of media jerks and start cracking skulls like nuts, which is exactly what he should have been allowed to do. I'm tempted to pay his bail if he does. Ah, if only... |

The GOP will come flying back with how badly poor Sarah was mistreated upon a personal level... and they'll be right.
She'll come out of this smelling like a very rich rose. |

Rich? Yes, from her book deal. But if the party is hanging their hat on her to grab the WH back.....you guys are more stupid than I thought you are. She will appeal very strong to the extreme right, but not for the moderates and/or the independents. But I don't think she would get out of the primaries. People complain about how little experience Obama had....and she had a whoppin 2 1/2 yrs of governorship. Oh, I'm sorry - the mayor Wasilla, a boom town of 6,300 people!!
It sounds like there may be a federal indictment coming down her way for an embezzlement scandle with Spenard Building Supplies. She fits in quite well with the rest of that party. What a bunch of bible toting, hypocrites, spouse cheaters bunch of scumbags.
And BTW......the media will go after anyone if you give them the 'ammunition' to do it. She, along with many other politicians have been selfish, greedy and stupid enough to do that. quote:

For the last time, listen closely now... She is NOT going to be the GOP nominee in 2012. She is very-likely not going to even try.
You can wish all you want, it ain't gonna happen. You are teasing thin air, grasping at straws and hanging on to a fantasy created by the Keith Olbermann fairy. You'd have a much better chance in speculating that she's pregnant again.
You will NOT be voting against Sarah Palin next time, so you'd best prepare yourself for a letdown, because the GOP is going to go up against the sitting duck of Obama with all guns blazing and not with a pea-shooter. Without an economic miracle, he's already toasted and burnt.
Pay attention; even the libs are attacking him now and the Middle East did not anoint him as he foolishly expected (Pssst, Barry... THEY ARE NUTS). By 2012 he'll be a bigger worldwide laughing-stock than Palin will ever be, forever known as one of the biggest pansies to ever run this country.
No president will ever recover from a perception of weakness. The most powerful job in the world and he focuses a media persona on... "Date Night" with his overbearing wife and hamburger runs with Ronald McBiden? Do you have any idea what a slacker this man appears to be to everyone else except his most delusional fanatics? He's built a persona of Nero fiddling while his wife's loins burn. The only thing this clown has not said on TV is an admission that he is clueless about this job.
Rush Limbaugh's pill-bottle could beat this guy in 2012 and I don't see that changing with the man's ego refusing to shift directions. All popularity indicators are pointing DOWN right now. I'd love to know why we should expect that will change, since he is too stubborn to admit a mistake. It didn't work for Bush either. |

She is NOT going to disappear into 'thin air' after this. She knows she has a huge base of supporters. I still think she could have finished up her term as governor and then stepped down. But like every other politician, she makes up some BS on how she isn't going to just soak a paycheck....please like she hasn't already done that - hell they all do.
But she will either run for President or possibly a Congressional spot. However I don't know when her states congressional seats are up for re-election in Alaska. But I really think she will run in 2012 for the WH. She will be talking to many people to gauge her national level of support. Now she has plenty of time to do that and game plan her strategy. But to hang your hat on 2.5 years as governor is a pretty thin line of experience. And don't give me this crap about the mayor of Wasilla counting as executive experience. Nobody that isn't a hard core Palin supporter believes that anyway. But she will run in 2012 - she knows she has a big base already of people to draw from.
What the hell is Bobby Jindal doing these days anyway? Has he ruled out running in 2012? My God, the one Republican that I would seriously entertain voting for and now he probably won't even run. We'll see. |

You would vote for 'Stuttering Bobby, the Exorcist', but you think Palin is worthless?
Well, I'll be danged. Not I. |

| Palin's utter "LACK" of intelligence experience, & common sense speak volumes. She is a fundamentalist extremist with no academic credentials or experience and we can now add quitter to the list. Good riddance!!!! |

Academic achievements, you mean like going to Occidental College and getting a LESS THAN A 3.3GPA?????????
How, pray tell, does someone with LESS THAN A 3.3GPA get into Columbia?
How does someone with less than a 3.3GPA at Columbia get into Harvard Law????
If his BO's name was John Smith and he was white do you think he would have gotten into either university with those average marks? |

Not nearly as thin as hanging your hat on having been a community
organizer, part time state Senator and part time U.S. Senator.

Jindal has stated that he has no interest in running for POTUS in 2012.
He's too busy searching for a personality...

She's in an elected position and swore to work her term to the best of her ability. She didn't. I feel the same way when a contracted athlete holds out for more money or because they want to be traded. When you have a contract/obligation, it's different than making someone work a 9-5 salaried position at 7-11.
It shows a lack of class and foresight....the kind of foresight needed to make a difference in this countrys political game. |

He's still working to create a mess in Illinois....he just feels he could bring down the rest of the country, too, so why just stick to Illinois? |

Hey, you forgot what "to the best of your ability" is, with the key word being "YOUR". When outsiders infect your job performance and harass you into defending yourself with your working hours, you aren't being allowed to use your abilities to their best and it isn't YOUR fault.
She's a grown woman and she can do whatever she wants. Nobody has a claim to force anyone into servitude, for any reason. If part of my job were to listen to people insinuate that my child was a wh*re and I was expected to just shut up and take it, I'd quit too. The only difference is that I'd be in jail for assault and battery. |
