#1 Sarah Palin gave interviews yesterday while fishing. Is she planning on spending the rest of her term on vacation?
#2 Yesterday Palin said this:
I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out.
Isn’t there a lot more wrong with this than just the part about the “department of law.” Yes, it’s surprising that someone who ran for Vice President doesn’t even know the structure of government. But isn’t it also surprising that she thinks there is some department in government that automatically throws out charges? Was she awake for the Clinton years?
#3 Is she someone who gets ahead by quitting? She quit 4 different colleges, she quit the Oil & Gas board, didn’t she resign as mayor to take a job on the board?
#4 Are there some people who will forgive anything a politician does? There’s a group of people out there who think Palin quitting her job before her term is a brilliant idea that we liberals are just too stupid to grasp. There were also people who thought it was great the Sanford was so in love after his bizarre interviews.
Update: Gallup polled Palin’s popularity:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s resignation — announced last Friday — fueled speculation that she may be setting up a run for president in 2012. A new USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Monday night finds a core of 19% of U.S. voters who say they are “very likely” to vote for her should she run, and an additional 24% who are somewhat likely to do so, giving her a decent reservoir of potential support to build upon. However, nearly as many voters (41%) currently say they would be not at all likely to vote for her.
Wow! I see the biggest number is “no,” but 43% would still consider it? I realize some of this is name recognition but Romney and Huckabee must be quaking in their boots right now.
