Let's not be too hasty in judging Sarah Palin as a quitter. Her reasons for stepping down were spelled out very clear (paraphrased below). She has the celebrity stature of doing a lot more damage to the progressive liberal agenda in other ways without her hands being tied to Alaska's Governorship.


1) I don't see any point serving any longer as a lame duck governor, wasting millions of dollars in tax payer money on bogus ethics accusations and charges, when I can rather start serving the conservative causes of Alaska and the U.S. from better vantage positions outside of politics.

2) Why should I continue to place my children for one more day - unnecessarily - vulnerable to malicious attacks at the hands of mean spirited people (MSM media).

3) I (we) will definitely continue the fight for traditional founding father values in America, and vigorously support those candidates who hold the same values, only not as governor of Alaska.

4) I arrived at this decision through much thought and prayer, and concluded it by asking my family how they feel about it.


If she fails to keep her promise either as a future conservative politician, or a media heavy weight for conservative goals, then she can be criticized as a quitter, and not before. God Bless, heal, and protect her, and her family.
