Rove 'perplexed' by Palin, Huckabee calls move 'risky' (Politico)

Politico - Former Bush adviser Karl Rove and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee both seemed to be scratching their heads over Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's decision to resign her office in an appearance along with Alaska Lt. Gov Sean Parnell on "Fox News Sunday." » Full Story on Yahoo! News

Amazing that Rove and Huckabee are confused? They are not the wife and mother, who is watching over her family? She is as tough as nails, but her family has been attacked continually WHY? Lettermans' cruel comment on her daughter no matter which one was stupid like he is stupid and should be off of T.V.. Now Purdums' article in Vanity Fair using her red shoes and her Republican sexiness to attack her. WHY? Come on Rove and Huckabee stop playing dumb. Who needs this liberal press idiocy anymore?

She's done. And Thank God. Even her most ardent supporters are going to realize she does not have the grit to hold elected office. Let alone the Presidency. Can you imagine, she'd fold like a house of cards. The fringe will pay her big speaking fees now, but without the support of a majority of voters, she' ll never pass muster in getting the nomination. Not to mention she has alienated herself from the GOP bigwigs who pull the strings in National Elections. You get elected on ideas, not playing the "oh, poor me, the media is being so mean to my family and I" card. She came off in that bizzare news conference as the worlds' biggest victim. Just a victim to every word ,anyone happens to float her way. Like flotsam on the Ocean. She will not be missed.

I'm not "perplexed" at her resigning. I'm convinced that she cut a secret deal that she wouldn't be investigated for some major hankie-pankie corruption she's been engaging in if she stepped down. I just wish she'd GO AWAY and never pursue her political career again.

Look folks get real if the move is risky meaning that it adds to the risk that she might not get ellected to a national office it really did not change things much for dear Sarah long shot.

This has to be one of the biggest none stories ever. This is someone plucked out of nowhere by John McCain in an effort to capture the vote of women during the last election. No one bought this nonsense from McCain and no one knowlegeable about politics could ever think that Sarah Palin was or is a serious candidate for any elected office. Let's stop this continuous mockery of what is left of the political scene. That Karl Rove would even venture an opinion as to the bona fides of her as a candidate calls into question his so called political genius. Enough already!!!!

Okay. So, her family has gotten constant dissing! She resigns. ANY GOOD MOTHER WOULD! When she entered politics, she probably didn't realize that the liberal media would tear her family to shreds just because she was super conservative. I thought that we were supposed to keep family members out of politics. Wait, what? Oh, yeah, that's right. That only goes if you aren't someone who knows what you stand for and why you stand that way. Really, seriously? Go Sarah Palin! You rock, girl! You gave up your career for your family, like ANY GOOD AND DECENT MOTHER WOULD! Moms, ask yourselves, if your family was constantly getting dissed because of where you stood politically, would you seriously keep letting them get hurt to fulfill your dream? This wasn't a political move, it was probably a move to better her family. GO SARAH!

She will be just fine. The party used her as a battering ram and they may use her again. As for herself, now it is her time. In 10 years she will look more like Madeleine Albright and nobody would want he in the office anymore.

Palin is a loser who folded like a used deck of cards! She was caught embezzling from Alaska and showed her true colors. Get with it folks. The only reason that McCain chose her as a running mate was to ensure that he would lose to Obama. She is little more than a cheap con-artist who won a governorship in a state full of horny old men.
Palin can shovel s*** on my s*** farm alongside that retarded little shrub...ie GW!

Happy 50th Birthday Alaska. Your Gov has abandoned you for a book deal and unknown higher calling.

Just what the American people need--an erratic candidate for any office, executive or legislative. "I think I will resign today. What do you think Todd?" "Good idea, Sarah. I can hardly grab a brew with the guys anymore." "Maybe I'll run for President next time." "Yeah, just what we need, Sarah, a President with PMS. That'll teach them to mess around with you. They never saw you in real action. I can't wait but first I need to grab that brew with the guys. Don't do anything rash now, wait till I get back home."

She's on some psycho religious "mission" to save the country. Hell, she can't even save herself, or raise her kids with the "moral" values she wants to impose on the rest of us. ... oh I know... god told her to run for president.
Wonder if she's knows there is medication for that hearing voices stuff.

Sarah the victim...always the victim.....Poor Sarah...David Letterman picked on her, everybody picks on her. Let her go suck her thumb! Alaskans can breathe a sigh of relief finally! And, in Sarah's case "good and decent" means blind and stupid. She refuses to look at the facts even though it means she has an illegitimate grandson. She doesn't 'get it!'

Sarah Palin is a freakin' joke to the State of AK. I'm so glad I didn't vote for a quitter. She is not a good mother and not a good example to her kids. She has the most important job in the State and when things get hard or because someone says something about her kids, she quits. Way to be an example for your kids, Sarah. Good job showing them that when things get hard, just quit. They'll grow up to be just like you! There are people out there with no jobs and others trying to keep theirs and you, you just quit because someone says something or does something you don't like. SARAH PALIN IS A QUITTER AND A JOKE! She deserves every little bit of negative comments directed towards her.

It's unanimous! It seems everyone wants her to run in 2012 (Republicans and Democrats even more so).

I for one REALLY hopes she runs. Not too crazy about her politics, but my gawd, she's such a hot MILF!!

Sarah Palin can do anything sh wants as she knows what she's doing!
As for Mike Huckabee, he's a Mormon and Mormons are a cult. Most Mormons wear their church's Holy Sacred Underwear. Does he?

Will this woman please go away! If this doesn't prove she isn't ready for prime time nothing. will. To me being a Govenor is child's play next to be President. If it's too much now what would she be like in the White House. I hope Republicans are smart enough to elect someone else to run for President that can finish something!

Fellow Yahoos,
Anyone can escape media attention. Karl, "Genius of Lies," Rove is wrong. Gov. Palin resigned and she does not have to be in the public eye, after she leaves office. Gov. Huckabee is deceiving himself. It took minutes for Gov. Palin to blog, after her press conference, and that is not leaving the public stage. That is, so last century. They all must think information is still being delivered by the pony express vs. the WWW.
Take care.

I don't know why she stepped down but I doubt that it was over any hanky panky .
the libs tried that aproach to tear her down but when it came time to put up or shut up the charges went away. Also I have watched unedited the interviews that showed her to be foolish. She was much better in those interviews than after the lib media edited the film to delibrately make her look bad.

I've got news for all these so-called, self-described Republican superstars, the ones who lost the last two elections for us: Sarah Palin is the next GOP Superstar. Live with it, or keep on losing elections to that other bunch.

Sarah Palin: A homphobic, delusional, anti-science Republican. Has as much experience as a PTA member, also known as a joke, notorious for creating abstract names for her children. Found guilty of ethics code violation & abuse of power while in office. Doesn't know Africa is a continent. And Please!!!, don't get me started on Karl Rowe & pedophile Huckabee.
