#1 I like to think of her more as a Patton than a MacArthur. Whatever, I will be surprised and saddened if she folds. I suspect that she is going on the attack, but from another front, one that she can't do as governor.

#2 It sounds very Randian to me.

#3 As governor, she can't be seen as attacking the media. As a private individual, the laws of libel and slander are more easily pursued. I hope she sues the socks of a lot of people, including Schmidt, that insane "campaign worker" for John McCain.

#4 As has been pointed out in other places, O.P. Smith, not MacArthur, said that.

I still hope for good things for and from Sarah.

#5 I have yet to hear a national program from Palin. Maybe she is thinking: "It would be so cool to be President."

#6 First thing she should do is shame the McCain staffers who are leaking everything to make her look bad. I've never seen such blue-on-blue backstabbing in decades of political watching. Its pathetic and those guys should never work again.

#7 I'M A RUNNER: SARAH PALIN

#8 Sorry. She's done.

She is nice, and pretty, and has an attractive momma-bear attitude. I'm all about that. I think she's much more qualified to be vice-president that our current one. That speech she gave yesterday was full of shiat excuses.

She's also seems to be thin-skinned, and doesn't know how to manage/put together a staff, in the campaign or in the months after. I mean, her biggest political news before Letterman was her staff couldn't book her at Republican fundraisers properly.

Personally, I'm looking for a little more in my presidential nominees.

#9 I like her and support her and note that the years available to her offer many opportunities to build a base and enhance her standing with trips, foreign and domestic, briefings and education. She should also work to overhaul the current incompetence at the RNC, starting with a purge of McCain advisors, staffers with backstabbing tendencies. We don't need or want those self-interested traitors in our midst. Blackball Steve Schmidt, if for nothing else than complete incompetence. Burn his career and income stream to the ground

#10 Thin-slinned? She's shown toughness beyond the call of duty.

They continuously attacked her children. There is no excuse for that...ever. I am in awe of her patience and strength dealing with those brave souls like Leadvermin and virtually all of the liberal (and even some of the conservative) chattering class. My reactions to such attacks would not be so restrained. Whatever she decides -- retirement or an NHL-quality political deke -- I'll back her up. Like W, she may not be perfect, but she's the real deal.

#14 Hmm... She has a book coming out soon doesn't she?

You have to wonder if the contents of the book might be part of the reason - and what kind of things are in it. Tell all? About the campain and the idiots (such as Steve Schmidt) who ran it?

#15 Once she is clear of the restrictions of being an elected offical, she will have room to throw (legal) elbows. Liek defamation against the peopel flinging lies against here without consequences at the moment.

More importantly, she will be able to speak freely without another expensive bogus e4thics charge being filed every time to goes to a political speech or private fundraiser.

Third, this gives her time to go bitch-slapping the "GOP Elite" by pulling in grass roots conservatives and taking over parts of the party to force "TEA Party" type candidates past the Country Club blue-blood old-boy's "Its My Turn" bunch that are ruining the GOP now.
