Theodore's World

Timing is perfect, Alaskans have always been independent, she's exercising an option that most pooh poohed, and has the audacity to announce her independence over Independence Day. For God's sake Sarah drop the GOP too!!! Too many maggots in that rotten corpse to save the body. ABC's Joseph Goebbels must be working over time right now to counter this move. The hyena's are going to go all out for the jugular now.

The best thing at the moment is that this announcement has to concern the WH and specifically wimpy. She GETS to him......and now
she will be unencumbered by a public servant job to spend her time where she wants....in flyover country... Alaska...and even...DC!!!! You go, 'Cuda!!

My wife called me from the living and said, "Palin's resigning". I said what, she repeated it. Somehow it didn't register until I saw it for my self.

If it is political strategy it is bad strategy. It will be interpreted as quitting. That will not bode well for someone seeking the presidency and it gives our enemies a huge advantage. It will put her on the defensive immediately. If she is on defense it will be tough to get any offense going at all.

This was started by alot of McCains former staff, who wanted a moderate candidate. They had one in McCain. When he picked Sarah Palin he threw them a monkey wrench, and they have been attacking her ever since. This makes it look like it worked.

At this point I don't see any bright spot or silver lining...unless there is something else we don't know about.

Good for Gov. Palin.

She is a candidate I can get behind and root for. Conservative, committed, and smart. It is enough for me that the Left hates her and reviles her every move and every statement.

If the Left hates her that much, then she must be their anathema.

Go Palin!

How about Palin/Gindall 2012 !

Jack, from the first day I posted about her
months and months before McCain picked her.
It actually was a post about drilling for
Oil in Alaska. hahaha Anyway, I liked what
I read and posted she was different, she
stood on her own and that impressed me.

Maybe I related to it since Nick and I
did that in showbiz. We were not the in
crowd and did not become part of the party
scene at all. It just wasn't who we are.
Even as a child I was not a joiner just to
try to fit in. My belief being this is me
take me or not. haha

Sarah is like that she is her own person.
Like the pioneers that crossed our land when
many said it was a bad idea, that they would
be killed or die of hunger and thirst.

None of us really know what Sarah's plans
are I just hope and pray she does run for
President and that all of this is part of
setting up the open road to get there, freeing
her up so to speak.

My gut says she saw too how the attacks were
effecting the actual office of Gov. of her
State. And she does love Alaska. I could be
wrong but the attacks have not stopped nor
slowed down and she has been getting them even
from McCain's camp which is a vile thing to do.

Jan, I bet it does too. We know how much
the left hate her to the core.

Mark, I wish I knew, you make good points
about what you said. Thank you Mark.
I just hope and pray that this whole
thing has to do with her really wanting
to do it I mean run for President. And the
things she kept repeating in her speech,
"not the same politics as usual". I have
to wonder why she said it so many times.
Like look everyone, I am not your typical
politician, and I need this time to start
now to work on things so I can put
all I am into running.

Maybe I am reading into it I don't know.
It did shock me and then I kept seeing
her as someone that does not follow the
norm and never has. So maybe there is
a lot of positive to this too.

Billy Ray, yes she is the most hated of
all Republicans and Conservatives. They
are obsessed with their hate for her.
Also in all the polls of who people like
the best for President she has always
rated way above all the others.

As everyone should know I am a big Sarah Palin fan but for a candidate to resign in the middle of a term, for reasons unknown, is at the best peculiar. This will be perceived and believed by the left that she quit because of the pressure. We all know she's a fighter she showed that during the campaign and during all these ad hominem attacks on her and her family.

That said, she mentioned Alaska and OIL they have plenty of it. Cap and Trade would hurt Alaska big time. She could be planning to campaign against it, she can not do that as Governor as effectively but as a lobbyist she can spend a lot more time drumming up support from the Blue dog democrats and defeat it before it does the damage predicted.

I don't believe for a minute that she'd back down from a lawsuit as suggested by her opponents, she's a fighter.

The more I think about it this makes perfect sense. She said also, she'd be working for Alaska but as a citizen. So this is absolutely possible. I hope so.

Then if she defeats Cap and Trade then she'd have the clout to move into the winner circle on convention night.

This should be interesting.

Hey friends. I don't know what Sarah Palin's plans are, but she is freeing herself to pursue whatever. There is no doubt she will work to help the conservative cause. Whether she runs for office or just helps some running for office.

Palin was attacked viciously by the Leftists and later by the McCain incompetents. If she is absolutely fed up with politics I can understand it. She is a very capable person and whatever endeavors she shoots for now I am sure she will be successful. Even if it is only salmon fishing.

I know we here at Team Theodore will be keeping watch out for Sarah and will be updated and supportive of whatever she does.

Go Sarah!

I'm afraid Mark's right and it's a bad strategy. No matter what happens in the future, people are going to throw out that she's a quitter. Doing this isn't just going to make Democrats happy but it's also going to make Conservatives take a long hard look at her. I'm a huge fan of Sarah's but right now, I'm going to be taking a long hard look.

I'm sticking with Palin.

The same old bs like Romney, Huckaby, blah blah blah is just what we DO NOT NEED - insiders who offer just another flavor of the same old stuff.

Palin offers hardcore Reagan-like conservatism.

Mark, she is our Sarah and I will post
news about her so we can keep cheering
her on.

Tom, yes and we sure will keep watch.
She is a friend to all consrvatives
and I plan on posting about her
as news happens too.

Tom, DITTO this big time.

"we here at Team Theodore will be keeping watch out for Sarah and will be updated and supportive of whatever she does."

Billy Ray, well said she sure does.

"Palin offers hardcore Reagan-like conservatism."

I've said it before, we the people were disenfranchised in the 2008 primary we went in faithfully behind our chosen candidates while the union bosses(GOP oligarchy & DNC oligarchy) had their picks in the bag, everything else was choreographed to give the voter a choice between Marxism or Maoism. Romney couldn't out buy a dead broke and not too popular McCain so where did the McCain money come from? Michael Steel is begging for that money right now, proof to me that the GOP doesn't want change. You bet I'll back Palin unless she has done something criminal or worse but she has to be viable or we're just pissin into the wind again. This move looks like she's quitting under pressure and you can bet there will be precious little support from the GOP insiders. I remember all too well the stinging loss from backing that batwing eared Texan Ross Perot, he split the ticket then bailed on us, I was naively blinded by Perot's support of the raid. I don't have much use for Norm Coleman but he stuck it out until the 'Democratic Court' awarded his seat to the Buffoon. Go Sarah!
