Sarah Palin resigning by 7/29/09

Maybe she's just had enough~son in combat, new grandmother, down's child, maybe she's decided to retreat a bit from the media circus and be mom for a while; perhaps reenter the fray down the road...

If that liberal Dem was attacked by their own party as much as Palin has been attacked by hers and if they and their family were attacked as much by the media...perhaps...because they might not actually be all that liberal after all....

Whether or not a person resigns, matters not to me. What matters is the reasons for the resignation. I believe Governor Palin did what she believes is best for the people of Alaska. Too much of her time and effort, and too much money was being spent by her and her office in defending Governor Palin against the incessant and baseless lawsuits.

But how does any of that apply to one being considered as good Presidential material?

It depends on why he resigned.

I don't think anyone is saying Palin is a good presidential campaign BECAUSE she resigned. I think they're just saying that resigning was a good move on her part.

It was meant to be a bit tongue and cheeky...as you seemed to be implying that there is some double standard and that somehow we are excusing Palin's decision to resign and support her simply because she's a Republican.

The point being...if a DEM were attacked in the same fashion as Sarah Palin has been...by their own party and by the media....it would be understandable if they decided to step down...

...and IF that DEM had the same heart of selfless service...as Sarah Palin has more than demonstrated....should decide to run for President....I wouldn't crucify them because they stepped down as Gov of whatever State...particularly if they made such a decision because they thought it best for the people of their State...and perhaps their own family as well.

That said....the chances of me ever voting for another DEM are slim to none...unless they bring up someone on the level of Zel Miller or Joe Lieberman to represent the party...

...but even so....the DNC Platform in general is not something I can support...regardless.



Added point: In contrast...let's say Arnie decided to step down as Gov of CA. I would have an entirely different opinion (not that he could ever run for Pres as he wasn't born here) BUT...I wouldn't be all that supportive of his decision to step down as he made some bad decisions and has quite a few messes to clean up.

Now if he thought someone else could do a better job (which I can't imagine Arnie EVER considering someone could do something better than he can) that would be a different story as well.
