She resonates very deeply with many Americans, and she's going to take the time to build up a formidable following. If I were Obama, I would not underestimate her impact,even though she herself lacks any intellectual heft. If he doesn't watch his flank, he's going to turn around in 2012 to see Palin leading an American legion of millions, who see her as a cultural Joan of Arc. America is entering a period of its history where political parties is becoming subordinate to the cult of celebrity, or at least the cult of personality. <br>Obama was elected on this, even though he had the gravitas to reinforce his personality, but as we Americans go down this path, the personality will trump the actual job capability. Sarah Palin is riding this wave. She cannot run Alaska, but that doesn't matter to her followers. They love her, and they believe in what she stands for. That will be enough to get to the White House, disconnected to any kind of poiltical affiliation. <br>  I believe that Palin is going to run for president in 2012, and that she will do so iindependent of the Republican Party. Obama would be wise not to underestimate her. Ever hear of the movie \"Idiocracy?\" Palin's nomination in 2012 would represent the dumbing down of America, but in this cult of personality, she may have the edge. Be afraid.

A couple of theories:<br><br>1. She has more bad news to report. There's something going on with her family again. There's more to come with the state's finance. Whatever. There's no good reason for her to suddenly up and quit the governorship, her one claim on elective experience. <br><br>2. She wants the money. Palin is probably turning down tons of lucrative speaking offers, corporate boards and others ways of getting righ while she bides her time waiting for the presidency. Maybe she just cant say no to the money any longer?<br><br>3. She's totally impulsive. Assuming this wasn't a well calculated, move maybe she's just being utterly impulsive. She got sick of the job, sick of dealing with declining revenue, sick of having to stay close to Juneau and Wasilla when she really wants to be in Manchester and Des Moines.<br><br>I can't explain why Palin who abandon the people of Alaska before she finishes her first term as governor.

Well I\'m not, so I will say what we all know is going on: Barack Obama\'s grandmother has put VOODOO on these motherfuckers!!! That\'s right, VOODOO! I said it and you all know it. Grandmamabama has put some straight up, pure, sho \'nuff African stuff on ALL of B-Rock\'s enemies. Not that play, play NOLA stuff. The real African deal. All who oppose him are falling to the way side on by one. You either join him (Hillary, the GOP governor of Utah) or you will be destroyed (Sanford, Palin). Mitt Romney, your ass is next. Rush Limpballs, your kidneys will be failing any day now. You so-called Blue Dog DLC Democrats better watch your asses too! Hell, I\'m scared to say anything bad about him my damn self. <br><br>Ok, I\'m just playin\' about Grandmamabama and voodoo, but shit something is going on for real.</div>\

In 2012, she would be running against a sitting President, the more executive experience she has the better. Plus she now gets branded as a quitter. If you can\'t run such a small state, how are you going to run the country. Remember at the convention how she said being a Mayor was like being a community organizer except that you have real responsibilities. Well the community organizer been taking on a ton of problems, criticisms from left and right, racism, and assassination dog whistles and he\'s still standing while the former mayor, now governor just quit.</div>\

After all, can you think of another presidential candidate who resigned their office to seek the presidency?...<br><br>Okay, so why would Palin do this on a Friday before a holday, traditionally a day for dumping bad news? A couple of theories:<br><br>1. She has more bad news to report. There\'s something going on with her family again. There\'s more to come with the state\'s finance. Whatever. There\'s no good reason for her to suddenly up and quit the governorship, her one claim on elective experience. <br><br>2. She wants the money. Palin is probably turning down tons of lucrative speaking offers, corporate boards and others ways of getting righ while she bides her time waiting for the presidency. Maybe she just cant say no to the money any longer?<br><br>3. She\'s totally impulsive. Assuming this wasn\'t a well calculated, move maybe she\'s just being utterly impulsive. She got sick of the job, sick of dealing with declining revenue, sick of having to stay close to Juneau and Wasilla when she really wants to be in Manchester and Des Moines.<br><br>I can\'t explain why Palin who abandon the people of Alaska before she finishes her first term as governor. But I suspect not that many Alaskans will be complaining. </BLOCKQUOTE></div>\

That\'s why she wasn\'t surrounded by all her followers, family, and office staff. <br><br>Of course it\'s bad news. Nobody makes any announcements on a July 3 Friday before a July 4th Saturday. Nobody is watching news tv, the press is out covering holiday events. You might tell your relatives about a wedding announcement or maybe a promotion over the picnic table, but that\'s about it. <br><br>She may have been warned about a soon-to-be perp walk. If that\'s the case, she could probably kiss her pension and other perks goodby if she tries to stick it out. However, if she resigns before the Legislature or the court sanctions her, she can keep at least her last two checks and her benefits.</div>\

She resonates very deeply with many Americans, and she\'s going to take the time to build up a formidable following. If I were Obama, I would not underestimate her impact,even though she herself lacks any intellectual heft. If he doesn\'t watch his flank, he\'s going to turn around in 2012 to see Palin leading an American legion of millions, who see her as a cultural Joan of Arc. America is entering a period of its history where political parties is becoming subordinate to the cult of celebrity, or at least the cult of personality. <br>Obama was elected on this, even though he had the gravitas to reinforce his personality, but as we Americans go down this path, the personality will trump the actual job capability. Sarah Palin is riding this wave. She cannot run Alaska, but that doesn\'t matter to her followers. They love her, and they believe in what she stands for. That will be enough to get to the White House, disconnected to any kind of poiltical affiliation. <br>  I believe that Palin is going to run for president in 2012, and that she will do so iindependent of the Republican Party. Obama would be wise not to underestimate her. Ever hear of the movie "Idiocracy?" Palin\'s nomination in 2012 would represent the dumbing down of America, but in this cult of personality, she may have the edge. Be afraid. Be very afraid.</div>\
