Kristol: A Contrarian Take
If Palin wants to run in 2012, why not do exactly what she announced today? It’s an enormous gamble – but it could be a shrewd one.
After all, she’s freeing herself from the duties of the governorship. Now she can do her book, give speeches, travel the country and the world, campaign for others, meet people, get more educated on the issues – and without being criticized for neglecting her duties in Alaska. I suppose she’ll take a hit for leaving the governorship early – but how much of one? She’s probably accomplished most of what she was going to get done as governor, and is leaving a sympatico lieutenant governor in charge.
And haven’t conservatives been lamenting the lack of a national leader? Well, now she’ll try to be that. She may not succeed. Everything rests on her talents, and on her performance. She’ll be under intense and hostile scrutiny, and she’ll have to perform well.
All in all, it’s going to be a high-wire act. The odds are against her pulling it off. But I wouldn’t bet against it.

From below:
Palin Spokesman: She is saying, 'no, you know what, I believe in national security, I believe in energy independence, I believe in supporting our troops. It's not getting done, and I can't do it and make a difference where I am right now behind the governor's desk, so I'm going to go around the governor's desk, and I'm going to make that difference, outside -- outside government.

More Freeper highlights:
listened to her entire announcement. It was honorable, it was direct, and it punctuated the insane politics of our day...it also punctuated her personal commitment to fight, and to do so when it would not distract further from her job as Governor and the foundation she has built there.
I am proud of her and support her. She is a great American.
I think Sarhah has just turned, like a fed-up mama Bear, on her detractors. She has put things in order, she has left them in the hands of capable people, and she has now turned to face her enemies directly.
...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!

WICHITA, Kan. - A man charged with shooting a prominent Kansas doctor who performed late-term abortions has been advocating through mailings from his jail cell that such killings are justifiable and communicating with individuals on the fringes of the anti-abortion movement, weeks after suggesting others might be planning similar attacks.
Scott Roeder, 51, is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the May 31 death of Dr. George Tiller — an attack that reignited the national debate over late-term abortion and gave Roeder icon status among extremists in the anti-abortion movement.
From his cell in Sedgwick County jail, Roeder has been sending anti-abortion pamphlets that laud Paul Hill, who was convicted of murdering an abortion provider in 1994, as an "American hero," and include examples of Hill's writings about how the killing of abortion providers is justifiable.

Palin's not hot. She's actually pretty dick deflating, in an ignorant-stupid-moralistic way. Sorry, but she's a typical 40 - something GOP woman that thinks with that push-up bra, tummy tuck panty hose, and makeup from hell that she still has it.

yeah, the timing makes it pretty clear she's bravely running away from something. the fri before the fourth? that's quite a dump.
if this were stepping stone to 12, she would've done this on a Monday, on a Fox show, primetime or something, surrounded by breathless sycophants. no one is supposed to know about this until Mon, when she's hoping something else will be on the menu for everyone to talk about.

I'm very old. The only thing that attracts me is character and what I see in the other person's eyes. Well, hands, a little bit.
Well, I'm old, but shallow enough to be attracted to someone by pure physical attractiveness. However, I also need some sort of emotional and intellectual connection for it to go further than that. I couldn't get past Palin's repellent personality and blockheadedness.

Well, good for Sarah Palin for looking good in the expensive clothes and styling the RNC bought her, and for remembering how to do her hair and makeup the way they taught her. You know, that stuff adds up to some job qualifications for tv-show hosting, maybe, but it's irrelevant to actually governing.
Thing is, for the R's, it's not about governing or capacity to govern. Appearances are all they care about. And Sarah P is nothing but appearance, and that about as deep as saran wrap. At least Mike Huckabee appears to be an intelligent, reasonable, likeable clergyman. Mitt Romney appears to be an intelligent, reasonable, successful businessman. All Sarah P appears to be is a pretty, well-dressed woman with lovely children. Once you get past that paper-thin veneer, the crazy takes over.

Huckabee gets free exposure every day on ABC's "The Huckabee Report" (AM radio). It seems to be Paul Harvey's old spot. He goobers it up, tells corny jokes, bashes elitists, education, and science, and trashes Obama. ABC gives him 15 minutes of free campaign time every day, with which he reaches millions. Seems like that ought to be illegal, but there it is. I think Huckabee's the most dangerous, way more dangerous than the laughably fake Mittster.

Romney is getting the nod in 12. He took the same deal last year that McCain did in 00. If somebody else starts doing well, they will inexplicably quit to spend more time with their family and then run in 16.

Betraying the Planet
PAUL KRUGMAN
So the House passed the Waxman-Markey climate-change bill. In political terms, it was a remarkable achievement.
But 212 representatives voted no. A handful of these no votes came from representatives who considered the bill too weak, but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do something about greenhouse gases.
And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet.
To fully appreciate the irresponsibility and immorality of climate-change denial, you need to know about the grim turn taken by the latest climate research.
even with a friendly media, she's toast in her first debate with a political opponent.

On Shuster, AK wingnut: President Obama is trying to eliminate economic opportunity in Alaska ...
In early fall 2003, as the scandal over leaking a covert CIA officer’s identity was exploding, President George W. Bush claimed not to know anything about the leak and called on anyone in his administration who had knowledge to come “forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true.”
How disingenuous the President’s appeal was has been underscored again by a new Justice Department court filing sketching out the contents of the 2004 interview between special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Though the Obama administration continues to balk at releasing the full contents of the Cheney interview, it did reveal that Bush and Cheney were in contact about the scandal, including what is described as “a confidential conversation” and “an apparent communication between the Vice President and the President.” http://www.consortiumnews.com/20...09/
