It's a real shame she didn't do this a few weeks ago, she could have been on I'm a Celebrity.

Which, obviously, is her true calling.

You can practically here the clock ticking...the other shoe's going to drop soon...wonder who's pregnant this time? Or maybe they found the photos of Todd dressed up like a nazi?

I think she did it b/c of her book deal. so she can really "tell all". don't you think? plus, she couldn't take the heat...

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday dear America....
Happy birthday to you!!

I think she did it so that she's clear to run in 2012.

I keep hearing cries of "Palin/Romney 2012". Which scares me to no end, I tell you.

^ but why? Surely you can run for Prez (like she has an icecream's chance in Hades) while serving as Governor. It's been done before.

she did it to "answer a higher calling". LORD HELP US.

DMG - Not sure, I thought so too. However, when she wouldn't announce whether or not she was returning as Governor, Barbara Walters mentioned that perhaps it's because she wants to run in 2012. Maybe she wants to prepare while not having to worry about being Governor?

I thought she'd make a run for Murokowsi's seat in Alaska when it comes up. Sitting Senator makes for better press than sitting governor and Alaska seems to elect ex-governors to that spot. Then again, a couple of the political gossip shows are claiming she is hunting for a national talk show. I'm guessing Fox would be the one offering, unless Babs really wants to kill The View.

i think she would be amazing on the view. there is something fascinating about her. i don't know why. and she couldn't be worse than elizabeth!
i always think she's gonna sound great when she opens her mouth but she never does. hahah. i keep hearing about all this potential. maybe she is taking some time off to get schooled.

As someone who firmly believes that politics should only be taken as a form as entertainment and nothing else, I wholeheartedly welcome her to run in 2012.

I miss Dan Quayle.

Aw! You say potatoe, I say potato. :) I miss Murphy Brown.

What a terrible thing it is to have lost one's mind.

Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It's the other way around. They never vote for us.

The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.

I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.

and my personal favorite:

I have made good judgements in the past. I have made good judgements in the future.

Did she bother to clue us in on what her "higher calling" might be. It sounds religious.

She should take some Political Science and History classes.

I don't think it is that hard to be governor of Alaska. It only has about a half million people and the budget must be pretty small. If she can't handle that and running for office at the same time, she's got problems.
