Sarah Palin's announcement that she's resigning just made Mitt Romney's decade—he's the one to beat in the 2012 Republican primaries now.
But we don't need to speculate about elections right now, do we? It's July 4th weekend! It's time to celebrate! And what better way to celebrate than heading over to Conservatives4Palin.com and reading Palin fan reactions to her announcement?
Jane Austen said...what?!?!?!??! I don't understand. Is this a good thing or is she giving up politics for good????

Chappy said...Chris Wallace on Fox can't understand why she would make this announcement just before the 4th of July weekend......but think about it......what will everybody be talking about at their BBQ's and at their Tea Party's?
They'll be talking about Sarah!
Smart lady!

Tim said...guys.. I don't think she is resigning.. she is just saying that she is not seeking relection...
why are you trusting a liberal media source.. they make up stuff as they go along..
(and I say this as a liberal supporting Governor Sarah Palin)

Much, much more schadenfreude after the jump.
Anne said...I want to cry.
Sarah I am praying for you.

Jane Austen said...Anne- let's pray together. Is that ok?

Holly said...I'm crying. I think I'm going to be sick. I need to know what is happening. Why? I need to know!! I need to see that video! This really is hurting me. I love her so much. Why?

Huskers-For-Palin said...if she's resigning, then the forces of evil have won. if this is a resignation, then her political career is over.
Mittens will get crushed in 2012 and Obama will have a second term.July 3, 2009 3:38 PM
Tim said...GUYS!!!!!
I SAY THIS TO YOU AS A LIBERAL WHO SUPPORTED GOVERNOR PALIN>>>>> WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LISTENING TO A LIBERAL MEDIA SOURCE LIKE MSNBS OR CNN... THEY MAKE UP SHIT AS THEY GO ALONG!
SHE IS NOT NOT RESIGNING.. SHE IS ONLY STATING THAT SHE IS NOT SEEKING ANOTHER TERM..
GET A GRIP! THESE ARE LIBERAL MEDIA SOURCES... THEY MAKE UP SHIT !!

Anne said...Jane, I definitely want to pray together. Thank you.
This is not good info if she wants to run for President. Ya'll, I think she may be putting politics aside completely.
I hope she is ok.

My intestines are in knots.

LouisianaRedneck said...You guys all need to calm down. Palin has the best political instincts of anyone we've seen in years. We certainly don't have all the details. Wait, until we hear from the governor herself.
Many of us said all along, that we would support her regardless of what she decides to do. To me, that includes whatever she is doing today.
Yes, I still want her to take Obama out....but we'll just have to wait and see.

Jane Austen said...for Anne (and anyone els)
dear God,
thank you for this day and everything you have in it
Lord, please watch over Sarah Palin and her family. Please give us the calmness and ressurance that everything will be done to your will. For Your will is the only one we need to follow. Please help Sarah become the best she can be- in Your own eyes
AmenJuly 3, 2009 3:43 PM

Folks. This is no time for negativity. Sarah Palin is going into the wilderness.
Think Moses, Jesus and Ronald Reagan.
This is the beginning of the taking back of America.
I will explain her decision once I have had time to reflect on it, but remember I was way ahead on this. So if you feel like shooting the messenger feel free.

Huskers-For-Palin said...okay folks, I'm a 43 year old dude who up until 2008 never really got into politics (with the exception of Reagan). After what I heard, I blubbered like a baby. I haven't had this kind of passion in a long, long time.
I've had a beer...feeling better now.
I think she is paying her dues now. This the grubby time of kissing the ringhands and making the rounds.
Empire Strikes Back time now....

Jane Austen said...okay, i've been following her since Dec. this is too much. my parents don't understand AT ALL. i skipped going out for ice cream because i'm so sick-feeling...
i know praying works, but still not feeling better...July 3, 2009 4:08 PM
Uffda said...You know what? I don't give a flying flower what the media says anymore. Sarah has removed herself from all that, she is forging her own path, and she has rendered the system powerless. Let them stomp and holler and declare their victory. (I don't like to swear in print, but this is a special occasion.)
As Rhett Butler would say:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
July 3, 2009 4:32 PM
Amen!
