Gov Palin’s Facebook:

How sad that Washington and the media will never understand it’s about country. And though it’s honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling, and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies to decisions I make.

Gov Palin to CNN:

I am not a quitter. I am a fighter.

But she didn’t state anything specific as to her future — just that she would continue in public service.

Gov Plain’s Lawyer, THOMAS VAN FLEIN:

There is no bombshell. There is no shoe to drop. There are no investigations of any type that I’m aware of — no IRS audit, no federal investigation, no state investigation. There is no legal reason in terms of a legal problem that compelled the governor to resign.

Gov Palin picked Friday on purpose:

She declared her independence from “politics as usual”.

His take on last fall:

In my opinion, she was the national campaign for Republicans last fall. I know John McCain was the candidate, but the decision was really about Sarah Palin and could she take on Obama. That was a lot of weight on her shoulders to carry that campaign, and they almost pulled it off.

Letterman’s disgusting “jokes” factored into Palin’s decision.

When people don’t accept normal bounds of decency making jokes like that about children, maybe this is not good for the state right now. And maybe somebody else who is not the subject, and whose family is not the subject of this scrutiny, can move the state forward.
