I think the dog is on to something. Nobody resigns for no reason and the reason Palin gives makes no sense. When something happens and it doesn't make sense it usually means there is information that we don't have. With that information it does make sense.

Palin has played it fast and loose with the rules and it wouldn't surprise me if she took money from contractors. Their house is only down the road from the sports center she backed. It wouldn't take much effort for the contractor to divert a small amount of resources to build a house too. But, that's just my speculation.

Palin is a flash-in-pan in history -- an ambitious but otherwise untalented governor who, by a fluke, was propelled onto the national stage. While on that stage, she is under scrutiny that she wouldn't otherwise have. The right-wingers can complain all they want about how all the liberal groups like Moveon and the Huffington Post persecuted her, but that goes with the territory. If you want to play with the big kids you have to be able to take it like a big kid. (Besides, it's kind of hypocritical considering all the mud the right-wingers hurled at Obama.)

The way I look at it, unless she's taking serious graft, she's not making all that much money as Guv. So moving to say Washington, she can doo all kinds of gigs in the media before her name becomes an answer to a trivia question.

Even the SNL jokes about her help her.
Plus she's goog looking and that's al you need to be a TV news announcer nowadays.
Who knows.
Just speculating.

With respect to many of the Palinologists below, I think they're getting way too hepatomantic over the entrails.
As a political move for anything other than the 2010 Senate race, today's announcement is a disaster. And I'm not sure it's a plus for the Senate - and, even if it were, the manner and timing suggest it was not a professionally planned event and therefore is unlikely to have any grand strategy behind it.
So Occam's Razor leaves us with: Who needs this?
In states far from the national spotlight, politics still attracts normal people. You're a mayor or a state senator or even the governor, but you lead a normal life. The local media are tough on you, but they know you, they live where you live, they're tough on the realyou, not on some caricature cooked up by a malign alliance of late-night comics who'd never heard of you a week earlier and media grandees supposedly on your own side who pronounce you a "cancer".
Then suddenly you get the call from Washington. You know it'll mean Secret Service, and speechwriters, and minders vetting your wardrobe. But nobody said it would mean a mainstream network comedy host doing statutory rape gags about your 14-year old daughter. You've got a special-needs kid and a son in Iraq and a daughter who's given you your first grandchild in less than ideal circumstances. That would be enough for most of us. But the special-needs kid and the daughter and most everyone else you love are a national joke, and the PC enforcers are entirely cool with it.
Most of those who sneer at Sarah Palin have no desire to live her life. But why not try to - what's the word? - "empathize"? If you like Wasilla and hunting and snowmachining and moose stew and politics, is the last worth giving up everything else in the hopes that one day David Letterman and Maureen Dowd might decide Trig and Bristol and the rest are sufficiently non-risible to enable you to prosper in their world? And, putting aside the odds, would you really like to be the person you'd have to turn into under that scenario?
National office will dwindle down to the unhealthily singleminded (Clinton, Obama), the timeserving emirs of Incumbistan (Biden, McCain) and dynastic heirs (Bush). Our loss.

She can't handel the heat so she left the kitchen. Only a fool would vote for her if she runs for prez.

There is an angle. Dick Cheney's positives greatly improved when he started going on talk shows telling the truth about what happened here and there. I think Paulin can go after the MSM for their tawdry personal attacks on her and her children and see what kind of audience she can gin up.

She is very popular with what I call the "normal" middle class - not the low-end biatches that claim to represent "America's women". I'm not willing to write her off just yet.

She definitely shut Letterman up, and is audience is falling faster than before the dust up.

So like the MJ death, "Preliminary reports say" that there are "More details to follow". Including - "Just where are the two headed wolf children?"

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...
