Palin Proves She's Stupid (4.00 / 3)
In stepping down as governor, Palin said, "...we know we can effect positive change outside government, actually make a difference."

Apparently, she couldn't effect positive change and make a difference when she held the most powerful position in Alaska government.  But she says that she believes that when she has no power in government other than the same vote that any other citizen has, she can be more effective.

Of course, she could be lying.  There could be some other reason that she's resigning.

Hmmm... Stupid or lying?  I wonder which it is...

I bet that it's both.

She'll lose her reelction bid in 2010 (4.00 / 3)
...Alaksa economy is in the tank...budget cratering...that another reason to step down...Govs that lose their re-election bid don't make good candidates.

Yup (3.00 / 1)
Add to that her hugely unpopular attempt to reject the stimulus money, her per diem and travel expense claims that lots of Alaskans think were fraudulent, her continuing ethical problems, and her sinking poll numbers.  Put it all together and it's a slap-in-the-face kind of sign that even she could read.  She didn't stand a chance in the election, and she really does want to run for President.  

I'm hoping that she doesn't run as an independent.  I think she could be the straw that breaks the elephant's back.
