And to think, this unstable person could have been VP of this country. Scary.

ETA - I watched the press conference of the announcement (which you can find on CNN.com) and she looked completely unhinged and rambled incessantly. The whole thing made little sense. Andrea Mitchell commented that she has told supporters that she is out of politics for good.

I just saw this on the news...and from what they are saying, by not finishing her term, it pretty much means she'll be out of politics for good. I certainly hope so.

My dh is on the phone right now to his siblings up in Alaska to see what they've heard up there.

I hadn't heard anything about it. But I'm a firm believer that the media only shows you what they think you want to hear or that which furthers the agenda of certain political platforms. And of course the media likes to perpetuate drama! Not knowing Sarah Palin personally-I have no idea what is going on in her life and certainly don't put any weight on the half truths or speculation of the media. I certianly would never want to be in the media spotlight! Could you imagine all the awful things ppl would think and say about you-

I think its weird, I've only been gone from Alaska for 3 weeks, and I didn't hear anything like this when I was there, seems kind of out of no where. I think she's a little nuts stepping down.

The people of Alaska elected her to serve, and it is wrong to step down and not fulfill your responsibility, unless she is physically or mentally unable to do so. No matter what I personally think about her, you have a job to do, and you should do it!

And....could anyone even understand what she was saying? She makes my head hurt.

ditto. Though if you do something like the gov of SC, then yes, step down.

If the construction issues are true, better for her to step down now, get out of the way of the running of the state. Else she would've spent her last eighteen months that she was supposed to be governing, defending herself and her family, more than she's had to do in the last eighteen months.

With the way she's been treated by the media from day one and all the slanderous vicious attacks against her family I wouldn't blame her one bit if she did walk away from it all. When you can't find something concrete to bring a person down with, you resort to personal attacks and name calling. It's getting quite old if you ask me. Perhaps those who despise her could come up with another strategy, this one's worn out and obviously hasn't worked.

I completely agree!! I dont think she is a "nutcase" but then the portrayal of her from the media in the past election was just so fair and so biased right?

What I don't understand is how people could have considered her as a presidential candidate. Did you hear her speech?? Holy crap, talk about rambling!!!!!!!!!!!
