The GOP needs her to raise money for next November's elections.

Its no secret that they have no stars right now and she is a main draw on the fund raising circuit.

Sad.  Alaskans seemed to really like her.  Hopefully she will rebound with a high-profile FOX news show, and have a good career in TV.

When does the next senate seat open up in Alaska? 

[2ND COMING]

Yeah, it'll make the saturday morning paper(least read day) on the 4th of July(one of the most celebrated holidays)

Perfect timing.

2010.
But she won't take it.

The GOP needs her working her ass of for the party.

She only went to  4 events outside of Alaska after the election now she can spend much more time in the lower 48.

[The True Adonis]

She is finished.  It does not play well at all when one places ambition over commitment.  Resigning is certainly her Waterloo.  The ignorant vote is certainly not that strong to propel her to anything further.

[The True Adonis]

She will never recover from the constant chant of, "you didn`t even finish one term at the statewide level".

There may be more to this as something perhaps is wrong.

[Hugo Chavez]

CNN is destroying her over this.  Not one good comment, they're crucifying her.

Weird.  I can see her running for the senate, but it's a little early to step down for a senate run.  

You mean the lower 49?  I hear that "lower 48" all the time.

Nice, I'll check it out.

Would be interested in seeing Jack Caffertys and George Will's take.

The GOP is now dead.

I guess Hawaii is much lower.

The GOP is in terrible shape financially, this will help a lot. Even if she doesn't run in 2012.

It makes sense on why all of those McCain staffers came out against her earlier in the week.
They must have known this was going to happen.

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

I highly doubt it,,,thats like saying obama didnt have the experience to be persident and yet he is doing just fine.

She will never recover from the constant chant of, "you didn`t even finish one term at the statewide level".

[240 is Back]

the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if some big scandal comes out next week.

like, she resigned to get in front of it?

Wrong. Obama did not resign from his duties that the people elected him to do.

No worries.  People always say that.  

I guess if she's going to hit the trail and try and help candidates across the country then resigning would make sense, because she's trying to help a much broader base of people.  Still seems like weird timing though.  

[Dos Equis]

Oh please.  The man was running for president for like two years.  He was hardly doing the job he was elected to do. 

[The True Adonis]

Republicans should disown her.  Why would they even want her around?

Your crazy.
Why should they disown her.
She didn't run against the party like some (cough Powell cough). Yet all you leftist thought he should stay.

She is still the biggest draw in the party. she can out fund raise almost anyone. Now she can spend her time working for the GOP.
Its good for both the party and her.

If you think she is the biggest draw and wish to put your chips in her corner as the "leader of the GOP" than your party is finished.

Can you not see this?  Why not find someone better?
