OMG! Controlling the press? Who'd a thunk it? I guess Obama didn't make her part of the team like Clinton did.

Hey Obama, don't bite the hand that feeds you! They are the ones that paint the rosie pictures for you. Keep it up, and they'll tell everyone that the recession isn't really getting any better.

Now, why would you go and do something a founding father suggested we do? We should probably buy another corporation or outlaw guns or something to celebrate.

My take on it is this, the worm was starting to finally turn for Palin. Republican strategists were starting to warm to her and while the Vaniety Fair piece wasn't awesome for her it certainly got a lot of press and it did tout her political credentials.

I think a senior McCain campaign aide has been holding on to some really filthy dirt and when they saw that Palin's fortunes were starting to improve they told her that they would go public with the filth unless she dropped off the radar immediately. This announcement will certainly make a lot of people start snooping around, and I hope the truth will be uncovered. Depending on how well buried the truth is though we may never know.

Palin-Sanford 2012! How does that grab you? She could be his new soul-mate. What a team, they are really good at press cons. I can't wait.

I believe there are serious problems within the Palin family and that she is stepping down for personal reasons. A baby to care for, teenage daughter with an infant, two other young girls, possibly a husband that is losing patience. My money's on a personal crisis.

Why do you guys hate someone that took five tries to graduate from community college? Geez, don't you know its so hard to support your family on a 125,000 salary AND get per diem to work from home? Good thing we can write the snow mobiles off on our taxes. Consider it a hobby and therefore not tax deductible? Hardly. Todd's a monster on the race circuit. It's like a full time job for him! And when your friends build your house for you, it's good things you had friends that ran the most prominent contracting company in your town! You know the ones that got the juicy contract to build the town's sports arena? Nice guys to help Todd build the four bedroom 4 bath (retail value 500000 plus) house. I'm surprise that everyone doesn't get their friends to donate say two months of their time to help raise the old homestead. Sigh, that's the good old days before the democrats ruined everything with their 40 hour work week, paid holidays, social security and socialistic leanings. Bring back the child labor i say. That'll bring down the teen pregnancy rates! You just don't get it do you? Cheeze. I'm just tired of all the whining. Didn't we get enough of that from Hillary Clinton? I believe that Sarah said it right when she said that Clinton did women a disservice with all her whining. After all why whine when you can just quit! Whining is just TOO HARD.

(By the way, this is sarcasm. Just in case you don't get it.)

Can anyone say "obsession"?

Maybe she is the other woman that Sanford had crossed the line with.

Palin's speech was rambling, much of the time incoherent. Something strange behind this.

Maybe Bristol (or Levi) told 60 Minutes the truth about Trig?

did anyone else find the animal sounds in the background rather poetic?

I agree with Update 3, some sort of crazy shit is going on.

Is the Alaskian version of fireworks?

These fireworks make me happy.

Any Republicans out there who still think this lady was going to make a fine VP or future president still? She couldn't handle governing ALASKA, how was she going to handle the United States of America?

oh Uncle Sam gave us our anniversary gift little early this year.

I'm actually kinda disappointed with this. I really wanted her to run for President, just to see her embarrass herself.

I am speechless. It's one thing not to run for re-election, but to simply quit and not fulfill her first term and bail on Alaska voters?

Wild.

Palin strikes again with her stupidity and ignorance.

Maybe Jesus told her to step down!

...or is, simply, a whack-job...

Is she pregnant (for the sixth time)?
