We don't like quitters running the White House. We may prefer to try and kick them out ourselves, but we'd rather not vote them into office in the first place if they've shown a propensity for checking out early.

Sarah Palin: neither a leader nor a politician, but a personality.

gypc_dave · 4 months ago

And a disordered personality, at that.

I like that; in the same way that Limbaugh is a personality, and Joseph Jackson.

" Sarah Palin: neither a leader nor a politician, but a personality." How true, and well stated, Roehl. I love it!

I wonder what John McCain thinks of this - does he finally realize how much he put the country at risk by making this woman his VP candidate?

E_in_Houston_TX · 4 months ago

Correction. McCain doesn't like do overs. He said so himself. He said he makes a decision, no matter how dumb, stupid or bone-headed, and doesn't look back. All I can say is whew! That was close.
Can you imagine MCcain/Palin in the Whitehouse, having to deal with the Iran election crisis?

Palin can't finish anything - not college, not political office, not bashing the media. That gives me hope if she starts anything else!

gypc_dave · 4 months ago

Don't be too hasty - George W. Bush couldn't finish his "war on terror," or the occupation of Iraq, or the capture of Osama bin Laden, or ... well, most anything except his tax cuts. Things started by politicians unable to complete them tend to become problems left to the capable folks elected to follow them.

north2008 · 4 months ago

Hey Dave, Meffy, Chredon, Nevada, et al;

I've just figured it out! 3 and all the Palindrones have written a new secret history of America. That's why when everyone points out the flaws 3 keeps telling us to "bone up" on our history. We need Tom Hanks to get on the case here. There's obviously a code at work.

shawsr · 4 months ago

Somehow you get the sense that this lady believes that even though she quit her first term as governor of Alaska, nevertheless, she did something noble. Remember the sitcom, "Green Acres"? Remember how out of place Oliver Wendell Douglas felt among the locals of Hooterville? When I think of Sarah Palin running for President,I feel like Oliver Wendell Douglas watching "Eb" run for President.

NevadaTom · 4 months ago

Just goes to show what if she is president and were invaded will she throw up a white flag?

Or like Frasier Crane watching Woody Boyd run for city council and realizing that Woody might possibly run for President someday and somehow win. In a way, Sarah is Woody without any of his good traits.

HAH!!!!! That was really, *REALLY* funny!

colby · 4 months ago

The "more time to spend in Iowa and New Hampshire" idea seems to be pretty smart thinking for 30 years ago. Then, we had Nixon, Carter and Reagan, all three of whom ran and won without holding a government job at the time.

But of those three, only Carter's retirement was really "Strategic"; Nixon and Reagan let their previous jobs come to a sort of natural end (2 complete terms), and even Carter DID complete his term. Even still, Carter came along in the wake of Watergate, and it's very difficult to draw viable conclusions from that era.

All Presidents are unique political actors, they don't get to the job in the same way. But even among that group, Nixon, Carter, and Reagan were very unique- so applying their strategy to anyone else is a very risky proposition.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

Reagan served two full terms as governor of California
Carter served two full terms in the Georgia Senate and governor for one full term (term limited)
Nixon: Congressman, senator, Vice President for a total of 14 years.
Palin: Governor of Alaska for half a term.

No comparison.

Patrick12 · 4 months ago

Do you think this will shoot down their arguement that Obama does not have enough experience to be elected president?..... ;-)

Laguna_b · 4 months ago

Would have been funny in 2012 for Obama to use a slogan "stick with experience - and someone who doesn't quit when it gets tough"

colby · 4 months ago

I didn't know the GA Governorship was term-limited back then. That kinda makes my point even more apt- Nixon, Carter, and Reagan all finished their previous jobs at natural- or legally-implemented- times. None of them even declined to run for re-election, much less left their jobs.

That said, I'm not sure this really IS about running for Prez.

Tae:

Who is this guy? (Great stream of Palin threads, btw. Keep 'em comin'. Now Palin will be able to benefit from the attention.)

A weak correlation stretched to causation, though. People leave positions all the time. Washington quit and retired. Lincoln quit his only Federal office. Theodore Roosevelt quit his Federal job to fight in a war he started. Eisenhower had retired, etc.

Look at the losers who didn't quit to give themselves time to prepare. Most of them. Had Kerry quit he'd never have voted against something before he voted for it. He'd be President right now.

Virtually every pundit advised her to give up her Alaska job. She timed it so her successor could get a leg up for 2010.

Races for President take more than a year or two to put together.

(BTW x2 Tae, Todd twittered me that your in the next cabinet as Internet Czar.)

Your pal,

"Keep 'em comin'. Now Palin will be able to benefit from the attention"

Uh, no. Precisely the opposite. The fact that you don't get it makes it doubly amusing.

Really! Positive or negative attention being seen as success is the hallmark of young children with emotional problems.

You forget that Sarah Palin has a magical aura of intense Christendom that REDEEMS the souls of any ARTICLES that could be construed AS being NEGATIVE so that she can fulfill her destiny as JESUS in this LIFETIME.

Palin and 3 must think they're Chip Diller from Animal House.

*WHACK* "Thank-you-sir-may-I-have-another?"

Which would give them an imaginary Bacon number of the square root of negative one. (My Bacon number is three, via Jay Silverheels and Duane Gray.)

36763 · 4 months ago

I'm glad to provide the service. It's all about helping my fellow man.

politicsjunkie · 4 months ago

That is one of your more desperate, disingenuous, and delusional posts to date.
What pundits argued she should quit mid first term?
Are those presidential anecdotes really the official talking points for the Palindrones now?
For one, Eisenhower retired from the army after the end of World War II not in the middle of it. He also gave a brilliant farewell speech on the dangers of the military industrial complex, not a rambling, disjointed, self congratulatory, whiny mess that could at best be called an explanation and not a speech.
I am of the opinion that this is the end of her viability as a political candidate even if she is foolish enough to try a presidential run, this ruined any chances she may have had. She may try but her candidacy will end during the primaries, mark my words.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

Yes, comparing Sarah Palin's two-and-a-half years as governor of Alaska to the pre-presidential achievements of Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower is bizarre.

Don't worry, 36. We've been marking yours..you know..the ones about the left "being terrified of Palin" and how "if Palin runs in 2012, Obama doesn't stand a chance", etc. How does that crow taste? Better than the rue, I bet.

36763 · 4 months ago

What did she lose? You radical lefties made her a superstar.

NewCitizen · 4 months ago

I see, so by having her oh-so-many flaws as a candidate pointed out in the open light for all to see...that is somehow helping her? Or, sorry, making her a "superstar"??

Seriously man, you're as crazy as Caribou Barbie is.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

That's right, everybody who opposes Sarah Palin is a radical lefty. That is so delusional.

The fact is, independents such as myself have been so turned off by her that we have not only eschewed the GOP for being responsible for elevating this idiot to national prominence, we'll probably keep voting Democrat for as long as there's the slightest chance she'll play a role in any future administration.

laughingdog · 4 months ago

Actually, I think it was Mccain that first put her on the national stage -- the left had nothing to do with it. Then she made herself tabloid fodder with her thin-skinned, histrionic antics (in a train-wreck manner reminiscent of Spears or Lohan). Honestly, I think she made herself a 'superstar' with very little help from the left at all.

Oh, and for the record, I generally register as an Independent.

politicsjunkie · 4 months ago

Oh nothing just Sarah Palin loses so we all win in the final outcome.

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

"Virtually every pundit advised her to give up her Alaska job"

In the middle of the term? No, I'm sorry, there, 36-hike, that's just flat-out false and you know it. NOBODY advised her to quit in the middle of her term, and only SOME people suggested that she should not to seek reelection -- most of whom (e.g. Andrew Sullivan) you wouldn't have trusted if they'd told you water was wet.

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

...and before you reply, make sure that whatever that reply is, it contains an irrefutable link to a single, solitary pundit who said she should quit her job in the middle of her term. 'Cause if you can't, you're done.

Carl_Brutanananadilewski · 4 months ago

The Alaskan state government is only in session for a 100 days out of the year and even though governing is a year round job for a Governor the last four Presidents were capable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama all ran for President while holding other political offices (Vice-President, Governor of AK, Governor of TX, Senator of IL) and were able to do both so why can't Palin? It's not like a candidate has to make every single decision unless they are micromanaging every aspect of it, which, if that is what is going on, is a sure sign Palin isn't ready for the White House because if she can't delegate now how will she ever delegate once her workload increases a hundredfold? And if she hates the scrutiny her and her family gets now how would she ever handle living her entire life in a fish bowl surrounded by cameras recording all her and her family's actions and words? Resigning during her VP run made sense but she didn't do it when it made sense but now it makes zero sense and the reasons she gave made even less sense. Do you really think Palin can influence Alaskan politics more as a private citizen than as Governor? That's absurd as the Governor she can hire and fire a vast array of people and influence the legislative agenda while as a private citizen all she can do is give speeches and fundraise and she could've done those things while remaining Governor unless she can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. Not to mention, once she is no longer Governor, the people who have been kowtowing to her will suddenly stop because they will no longer be afraid of her firing them.

36763 · 4 months ago

It is actually a fact that there is not much else for her to do in Alaska. The fact of the matter is that Alaska is one of the only states where frivolous complaints become full blown legal battles costing the office holder a lot of money. Her family, until the book deal but before the crash, had a net worth of $1,200,000. Her legal bills though reasonable by attorney standards amounted to a personal Liability of $600,000 with no end in sight.

If she wanted to be a career Governor, then you are right. She should have stayed. If she wanted to move onto better things, the sooner the better.

IMO, she did the right thing at the right time. It was time for Saracuda to up the ante!

Stay tuned my Wiree friend.

PS. This just in. Big August 8th Republican bash in Simi Valley and, you guessed it, former Governor Sarah Palin will be the guest of honor. Get used to this type of stuff.

Chredon · 4 months ago

If she is having trouble paying her legal bills, why doesn't she just ask her SarahPAC friends to donate?

Let's see, her parents were both teachers. She made 68K/yr at mayor of Wasilla, $125K/yr as governor. She has served on some state advisory boards. Todd's tax filings show that he has never earned more than $100K in any year. So tell me, 3, where did they get that $1.2 million net worth in the first place?

RepsKillMyBrain · 4 months ago

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

RepsKillMyBrain, here's what we learned today about 36763: He/she is a liar. Delusional, yes, we've known that for a long time, but also now officially a liar. Said that many pundits have told Sarah Palin to quit her job in the middle of her term, and can't cite a single irrefutable link to a single pundit who did so. A liar. Flat-out, simple, unequivocal.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

"IMO, she did the right thing at the right time."

Why do I get the impression that you would support even the flakiest thing Palin did or said? You're fast losing all credibility.

sylhines · 4 months ago

We are already use to it. Simi Valley if you are correct about the event is a very conservative area west of LA with lots of military retiree. Did your expect her appearance to grow the base of gin it up. A few people will come to see her but they might not vote for the GOP. What is your point, get use to it. That is all she has been good for since the election, ginning up the wingnuts for a fleecing of their money. I do not know of a single legislative initiative she has passed since the election. Can you advise me of any.

ThatOneDemocrat · 4 months ago

Off topic, I love that handle : )

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

colby · 4 months ago

"A weak correlation stretched to causation, though. People leave positions all the time. Washington quit and retired. Lincoln quit his only Federal office. Theodore Roosevelt quit his Federal job to fight in a war he started. Eisenhower had retired, etc."

TR's the only one who quit in the middle of his term in office, and even that was an APPOINTED position (he never asked the voters to trust him) and he left it to continue service. Absolutely NO comparison to Palin there.

Lincoln left AFTER his term ended- unlike Palin- because he campaigned on doing so. He was keeping his word to the voters, whereas Palin is breaking hers.

And Washington served out his full terms in the most powerful office in the country, then got out of politics altogether. If your argument is that Palin's still politically viable, this kinda works against that.

And, of course, none of these examples were less than 100 years ago. Quite a stretch, but I suppose if you want to argue this is a good move, you really do have to come up with some whoppers...

36763 · 4 months ago

Bone up on your history.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

36763, bone up on your history. Comparing the pre-presidential achievements of Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower to Palin's two-and-a-half years as governor of a state with fewer people than Fort Worth, TX. That, my friend, is mightily offensive, especially on this particular weekend. Those great Americans were NOT quitters.

Chredon · 4 months ago

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

It is almost sad to watch you continue to grasp at straws while your hero Sarah Palin goes down in flames.

I would just slink away quietly, 36, probably a lot easier. Hell - take a lesson from your idol and just quit already! You can strategically hold a press conference late on a Friday so that no one notices. HA HA!!

Oops - sorry - well, I guess I did say it was *almost* sad.

36763 · 4 months ago

You noticed. Thanks for caring about me.

NewCitizen · 4 months ago

I've only noticed your amazing ability to ignore reality. And also that you continue to ignore Dave's point that you completely made up that "fact" that Palin received recommendations from pundits to quit.

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

Colby, just so you see it in your inbox as soon as possible, 36763 is now officially a liar. He/she said that many pundits have told Sarah Palin to quit her job in the middle of her term, and now can't cite a single, irrefutable link proving that a single pundit ever did so.

north2008 · 4 months ago

Comparing Palin to Washington, Lincoln, TR and Eisenhower is interesting. Washington idolized the Roman hero Cincinnatus, who epitomized giving up power once he was no longer needed to lead, so that Rome could return to being a republic.

Lincoln had 2 Federal offices; the second one he was elected to twice and didn't "quit", unless you have a very strange definition of quitting.

TR had a much longer political career before he took a leave of absence to get some photo ops in Cuba. McKinley only made him VP to try to exercise some control over him.

Both parties tried to get Eisenhower to be their candidate in 1952. He obviously didn't have the obsessive political ambition that Sarah has.

Since the "inexperienced" label didn't hurt Obama, is it now an asset?

36763 · 4 months ago

Weak on the history and comprehension of the apparent point of this guy's article.

Holding office while running for higher office, to me, means nothing.

Chredon · 4 months ago

It doesn't, really. Lots of people who had already held office and gotten out have later successfully run for higher office. The point we are making , however, is that they left those previous offices at the end of their terms, not by resigning in the middle of them.

Quitters never win, and winners never quit. Palin has just proven that she is not a winner. Her political career is over.

NevadaTom · 4 months ago

*Flushes his fears down the toliet*

north2008 · 4 months ago

You kill me. You have the audacity to call me weak on the history when you toss in Washington, Lincoln, TR and Eisenhower, with no context, completely ignoring the different historical circumstances for each, and failing to address the actual question of why each chose to resign when they did.

Re your last point, that means Palin should have resigned as governor last September. You're brilliant.

Dave_in_Gainesville · 4 months ago

Just so you know, north, 36763 is a liar. Delusional, yes, but now officially a liar, too -- claimed that pundits told Sarah Palin to quit her job in the middle of her term, and can't cite an irrefutable link to a single pundit who ever did so.

michelle2008 · 4 months ago

All of the pundits--just like Sarah reads all of the magazines! :-)

You let 3 off too easily. Not just "pundits," but:

north2008 · 4 months ago

It's too bad there's not a kind of spam filter that will quarantine 3's comments until there's some factual basis for them. Until then, I think I'll leave Sarah's "Mario" to his Chinese history.

hamster999 · 4 months ago

You're the one weak on history. Comparing the pre-presidential achievements of Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower to Palin's two-and-a-half years as governor of a state with fewer people than Fort Worth, TX. That, my friend, is mightily offensive, especially on this particular weekend.

E_in_Houston_TX · 4 months ago

"Virtually every pundit advised her to give up her Alaska job.”

What pundit? They probably advised her to quit for her sanity, not for any future national politics run. The pressure may have been a bit much.

Since leaving the national campaign, Ms Palin has done the exact opposite of what I thought she needed to do to better herself for future national political run. Read what I wrote on my blog on November 10, 2008.
http://mrsmart.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/is-pali...

All I have seen her do is fight with virtually anyone who dares say anything she doesn't like about her or her cause. From political operatives to David letterman; John Kerry, the media, etc.

As for your Washington, Rossevelt and Lincoln examples? Times have changed. Do you have any modern day examples?

Look, competition for the GOP nomination will be brutal. Think about Huckabee, Romney, T-Paw, governors who finished their terms, some of them, two terms; and some candidates we don’t know yet.

Palin, I think, is leaving the very job she needed to continue to build on her resume so she can do better next time she tries to run for National office. Have you heard this woman articulate international policy ideas better than her ability to see Russia from her front porch?

Hey, let's be fair. Everything about her future plans is speculative at best for now. Let's just wish her the best in whatever she chooses to do. Shall we?

36763 · 4 months ago

Actually, after doing a Google search, I found an article written by Roger Simon, a blogger on Politico, who did indeed advise Palin to "dump Alaska" although he didn't say to do it in the middle of her term.

and hes a blogger....... not one of our elected officials so that proves dave in gainsville is right and 367 is wrong

Meffy · 4 months ago

@Tom: At least in the post I saw, 3 did specify pundits, not elected officials. But after specifying "virtually every pundit," when challenged he couldn't even come up with more than one pundit... so I suppose it hardly matters, does it?

Either way, I think 36763 is actually an Obama supporter who is doing a spoof of a Palin supporter. He's certainly doing a good job of it.

The "any press is good press" meme is just inapplicable in this day and age, especially in politics. Notice that the only people who say it are the people both WITH bad press and reason to try and spin. You never heard Sam Brownback or Bill Richarson say, "Man, if I could only have a SCANDAL to get everyone's attention!" You don't see politicians WITH bad press allow it to stand; they ALL pushback against it, even Palin. And you certainly don't see the people exposed to prolonged bad press (Sanford, even Palin last fall) benefit from it.

36763 · 4 months ago

Wrong. We love her because the people who don't like us hate her.

Chredon · 4 months ago

That's an interesting reason to support a particular candidate. "I want Sarah Palin in the White House because all the people who think I'm wrong think that she's wrong, too."

Have you considered the possibility that we think you are wrong because you are, indeed, wrong?

For the records, I do not hate Sarah Palin - I just think that she's incompetent to hold high office from the perspective of her intelligence, her education, her character, and her self-delusional ambition. If my 11-year-old son were to suddenly decide that he needed to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I would be equally hesitant to support him.
