I didn't know, right away, what to think about what she had said. Then it all became very easy to understand. Just take her at her word. Don't try to second guess her, don't attribute your educated guesses as being anymore than speculation. What is very clear is what she told us.
She said that she was not the type of person that, having decided not to seek re-election, to take off while still in office and go traveling around on Alaska's time. She has always been a different breed of politician, and I had initially hoped that that would be her reasoning. It is.
How many times have we heard of politicians seeking office and promising the voters that he would go right to work and put nose to the grindstone for them, and then, a month or two later, announce their candidacy for some higher office? And, staying in their present position, be constantly absent from their duty, campaigning around the nation . What inevitably happens? The voters turn angry, and rightfully so. The politician has abandoned their promise to do the people's business in favor of an ambitious run for a higher throne.
Hillary, Obama, some thought Jindl would leave, but it ticks voters off big time and I just don't see Sarah Palin as bing that type of person.
So, I will go with her own words and still pull for her to be a candidate to defeat OVomit in 2012, if we can't shew him out before then.
