Sen. John McCain didn't rule out a return to politics for his former running mate, saying Saturday he believes "she will continue to play an important leadership role in the Republican Party and our nation." He gave no other details.

Even Parnell, who plans to run for re-election after finishing out Palin's term, said he was shocked at first when he learned of his boss' decision.

"But then as she began to articulate her reasons, I began to understand better," he said. "And nobody — unless they've been in her position and understood what she has gone through and dealt with and who she is as a person — really understands."

    1. John Weaver,a former Senior Strategist for McCain's Presidential Bids.

    "Policy is Politics and Palin Has No Real Accomplishments as Governor"
    ---------------------------------

    2. Rich Killion, Adviser to Gov. Mitt Romney,

    "How can Palin convince a General Election Audience How Quitting on her Constituents is a Good Thing"

    Those Statements are [Factual & Actual] 2 1/2 yrs as Governor...

    There are No [Accomplishments] There is No [Alaskan Gas Pipeline]

    Palin Gave 500 Million Dollars of State Money to a Company [Trans-Canada] that Cannot Provide [Gas] Only make the Pipeline. The Deal she made was [Dumber than the Dumbest]


    500 Million in Seed Money for a Pipeline that will Cost [27 1/2 Billion $$] minus Palin's 500 Million and Guess where the Financing-Money of such a Project will come From...The Federal Government, that's who !!

    It is Big Oil-Gas who Own All the [Gas Land Leases]

    Meaning, The Dummy [Palin] Passed Legislation that Excluded [Big Oil-Gas] from Bidding on the Project. Leaving Only [Trans-Canada] as the Lone Bidder. The sad thing about all of this is, Big Oil-Gas can Finance this Entire Deal, minus Palin using the State of Alaska's [500 Million] and still give Alaskan's their [Socialist, Windfall Profit Tax Money] Probably More.

    Two of [Big Oil-Gas] Biggest Companies are going Forward with their Own Gas Pipeline Project, they do Own the Gas Land Leases.

    While Palin's Project is Muddied in Litigation which is [Her Fault]

    It will take YEARS to cut through all the Legal issues Involving Palin's Project and she knows it too, let alone the Actual Building of the Gas Pipeline after Litigation, it will also take [8-10 YEARS] after Litigation, that's Exactly why she [Quit] and still tries to [Mislead] Americans via her Rambling Exit, regarding her so called Accomplishments which are [None] to be Exact.

    Especially regarding Palin's Gas Pipeline, that Does not Exist, At All.

    I said before and will say, Now...

    Sarah Palin is a [Hollow,Floating,Bubble]

    Paulejeb. It's incredible you can't discern the difference. Bush spent for unnecessary war and for the largess to the rich. Obama is spending for long term economic stability, energy independence, health care reform and world-class education for our children. There is also a whole lot of difference between Obama and Palin's background. Being president of Harvard Law Review is nowhere near going to 6 colleges to finish a journalism degree with passable grades. I don't know where Sarah (mark my words) got her delusional analysis of the fiscal responsibility. Alaska on her watch was one of the biggest net recipient of federal money getting more in subsidy than what they remit to Treasury in taxes. And give me a break on national defense. Somebody who was quoted as saying "...Putin rears it's head and enters the U.S. (through Alaska)..." does not exactly inspire awe and confidence. In fact, that seems to be a scary evidence of a mental case fit for institutionalization.
