Why Sarah Palin Quit
TIME | 55 m ago
Although her stated reasons are hard to pin down, insiders say the Alaska governor's decision is unlikely to lead to a presidential run in 2012...
No Quit in the Hagiographers
Talking Points Memo | 1 h ago
BEFORE:
Rod Dreher, Dallas Morning News, Sept. 7, 2008:
She's a fighter, this one. And worth fighting for. Come what may in November, we now know what the future of the GOP and the conservative movement looks like.
Mary Mitchell, Chicago Sun-Times, Sept. 4, 2008:

Weekend Opinionator: Did Madoff Get More Than He Deserved?
NYT: Opinionator | 1 h ago
On Saturday America turns 233 years old, but the first chance Bernie Madoff will have to celebrate the Fourth of July as a free man will be the nation's 383rd birthday. Before you enjoy any schadenfreude, however, remember that you and I are no more likely to make that party than he is....
The Many Scenarios of Mickey
NRO: The Corner | 2 h ago
I don't apologize for posting his entire post here, because if you want the links to every theory, you have to go over there. Mickey Writes:
I can see 5 6 7 8 9 10 Palin theories ... and counting: 1) She's running for president; 2) She's undergoing fame withdrawal and plans to...

NRO: The Corner | 3 h ago

Perhaps Palin is Running for President?
Taegan Goddard | 23 m ago
Charlie Cook, one of our favorite political analysts, emails his reaction to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigning earlier today. I'm not surprised that Palin isn't running for re-election, but resigning did catch me off guard. I wonder whether it will be possible to be a sitting governor...
Late Night: Elephants Palin on Parade
Firedoglake | 55 m ago
Mere days after bragging about her stamina, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin up and quits. Her hastily organized presser--called on a super-news-dump Friday before a national holiday--coupled with the half-baked logic contained in her farewell, can only leave anyone who gives a rat's sphincter...
Sarah Palin Resigns To Spend More Time IN YOUR FACE
Firedoglake | 2 h ago
If Sarah Palin were a realistic, rational person, a scandal would be the only plausible explanation. A sane person expecting damaging revelations would recognize the inevitable and bow to it. And a sane person wouldn't walk away from their first term as governor so they could run for...
