Per the article, Weaver said her best chances in 2012 was to get re-elected in 2010 as Gov of Alaska.. I don't think she stood a prayer of being re-elected in 2010, and that fact had everything to do with her bowing out now. However, now she may as well kiss a political career good by, now she's labeled as a quitter in the face of adversity.

Adversity like Liberals calling her a skank and white trash and then beating up on her family.

As a woman you should be ashamed of how she was treated by your Liberal friends. What? She didn't follow you party lines? So I guess it's ok to trash her and make fun of her family? Where is your moral integrity and sticking up for womens rights? Oh ya once again, she doesn't have those rights because she is a Republican.
Needy you are scum. You and you Liberal friends. It takes a lot of guts to be THROWN into a Vice Presidential nomination at the last second only to have the same people who say they want to help women, Liberals, smash and bash her in every way.
The people who supported the bashing of Palin should look in the mirror and see what they really are. They are the real A-holes. They are the anti-womens rights people. They are the true hypocrites of our time.
Palin, it's good you left. Enjoy your life and leave the scum to bash some other women or black person because they call themselves a Republican.

The GOP will have to find another "gimmick" to attract voters. That's all that Palin is,was,or ever will be. The woman is short on intelligence and substance. She would do herself and her family a favor if she fades away and concentrates on raising her kids.

Just because Sarah Palin will soon no longer be governor doesn’t mean she won’t stop being a bully: “Gov. Sarah Palin’s attorney threatened Saturday to sue mainstream news organizations if they publish ‘defamatory’ stories relating to whether Palin is under federal investigation,” according to Politico. In a four-page letter, Alaska-based attorney Thomas Van Flein wrote, “This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law.” Meanwhile, Palin hinted in a Facebook message on Saturday that she might run for president in 2012 by following her “higher calling.” She wrote, "I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint.”

Sarah Palin made no public appearances yesterday but lashed back at the media on her Facebook page for the negative coverage of her resignation, reports Politico. “How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country,” she wrote. “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 for the decisions I make.”

Though she's offered no specifics on her plans, Palin hinted that she will remain in the public eye. “I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," she wrote. "I hope you will join me."
