    A Republican source close to her political team told CNN's John King that it was a "calculation" she made that "it was time to move on." The governor's "book deal and other issues" were "causing a lot of friction" in her home state, the source said, adding that he believes she is "mapping out a path to 2012."

      "he believes she is "mapping out a path to 2012."

      Right. Nothing says "presidential" like fleeing headlong from your first term as governor.

        nothing says Presidential like being a community organizer, who was supported by his wife during their marriage and the only thing he ever ran was a marathon before trying to run the country.......the emphasis being on TRYING ........

          Yes. God forbid you should have experience teaching Constitutional law and experience actually bringing people together before becoming president. It's much better if you have a name and the experience of driving multiple countries into the ground while being continually bailed out by the House of Saud.

            Ooops.. Multiple COMPANIES into the ground.

            Running countries into the ground came after Bush's election.

              for someone who taught Constitutional Law he sure knows how to overstep its boundaries, in case you haven't noticed Crusader Cross Boy he is driving this country into the ground by quadrupling the deficit in a mere 100 days, no wonder he was practically on his knees bowing before the House of Saud. With the way the economy is headed he doesn't know when he will have to don the knee pads and finish the job.......

              Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matte

            Maybe she can become a Jr. Senator and get elected to President THAT way?

            Republican strategist Ed Rollins said it best....."STUPID, STUPID, STUPID move if she had any real hopes for the White House. Rule #1 in politics is NEVER QUIT!"

            I agree with his assessment, but then I think about the fan base of Sarah Palin and wonder. Since when did logic or common sense have any influence over their voting decisions? I can't imagine looking at someone who couldn't stay put for a single 4-year term for governor as a serious presidential hopeful, but then I'd never vote for her in the first place. For me, a minimum IQ that enables the ability for true critical thought is necessary for the job and she isn't even close to that one. I'm not sure that her quitting should surprise anyone though. I mean, look at her history. How many colleges did she attend before actually graduating? That right there should have been a huge red flag as to her ability to stick things out. But anyone actually thinking about her as a serious presidential hopeful really needs to ask themselves, what happens if she does this in Washington? What happens if, 2 or 3 years into her first term she decides its better for "her" to step down because someone made a bad joke about her kids, or some other such silliness. Where would our country be if our president couldn't handle a simple 4 year commitment? It's absolutely ridiculous! She couldn't handle a four-year stretch in college and now again in the governor's chair. But some are thinking she's headed to Pennsylvania Ave? Give me a break!!!!!
