Maverick Sarah Palin has stepped down as Governor of Alaska.
Many are speculating what the reasons could be behind her very abrupt departure.
In her resignation speech, she spoke nervously, and quite stupidly by comparing her decision to leave with an analogy of a basketball point guard knowing
when to pass the ball. Egad.
The Daily News Reported:
Sarah Palin's bizarre bailout dooms her chances of ever being President, Republican mandarins said Friday - but she was already finished.
The Alaska governor's disastrous star turn as John McCain's running mate, followed by her lurching, controversial encore on the national scene, had already sealed her fate - except, perhaps, with the GOP's most far-right wing.
Still, the experts were unanimously stunned to hear her walk off the job with 16 months left in her term - shrinking her résumé even more and surrendering the best platform she has beyond her double-edged celebrity status.
"If you aspire to the highest office in the land, then suddenly think your lieutenant governor can do a better job - not exactly a profile in courage," one party pro told the Daily News.
Few GOP insiders were surprised Palin decided against running for reelection. The Alaska statehouse is too isolated a locale for any politician aspiring to high national office, they said.
"You need to be in the Lower 48 to be credible politically," a senior adviser to several Republican Presidents noted.
But quitting mid-term with a rambling rant is not the way to get there.
"She proved she couldn't play in the big leagues last fall and now she's proven it again," one of the party's most prominent kingmakers said. "If you can't even handle a governorship, there's no way you can handle the White House.
"She couldn't win - but now she can't even run," added the official, who once was among her most fervent boosters.
"She has an incredibly thin résumé, a serious lack of gravitas, no coherent philosophy and the people around her are amateurs," another top Republican pol argued. "She's finished."
The Daily News also has a poll going on their website, and in the top lead out of their choices is A scandal is about to surface, has the majority of the vote right now. A very close second in the poll is not surprisingly, I don't care what she does.

What would your choice be in the poll?
Now I don't want to say I told you so…
Awwww hell, I'll say it. I TOLD YOU SO!
But after a failed campaign with senior curmudgeon John McCain , and palling around with Scientologists Gretta Van Susteren and Greta's hubby John P.
Coale which I reported on back in March, I knew in my heart things were going to go sour from there.
So is there a scandal about to break? It certainly seems plausible with such a hurried exit. I found her resignation speech to be totally disingenuous. I think she is getting out of Dodge before something major breaks. For the record, I never thought anything she has ever said had any merit.
And for a perfect ending…..click on this spoof video, which has Sarah's actual speech, but includes Keyboard Cat poised and waiting patiently for the end of her speech, so he can play her off. The perfect ending for this women's debacled career.
I personally hope it's the last we see of Sarah in the political ring, and I couldn't be happier.
I will be keeping my eye out for any updates.
Ok Right Wingers, here's your cue….. comment away!
It really did turn out to be a truly lovely 4th of July weekend!
On to celebrating!
