In a rambling and disconnected announcement, we learn this afternoon Sarah Palin is not only foregoing a run for another term as Governor of Alaska, she isn't even going to finish the term she has!
Speculation abounds........after listening to two hours of conspiracy theories, I think I have them narrowed down to the following:
Surely it is too soon to launch a bid for the Presidency. Can she afford to be unemployed (politically or financially)?
Some think the disjointed announcement suggests some pretty dirty laundry is about to hit the fan (pardon the mixed metaphor).
Is she going to run for the Senate in 2010?
Did the recent Vanity Fair article finally bring home the point to her that Politics Ain't Pretty? That National stage she stepped on last August is a little bigger and a lot more critical than the bandstand she was accustomed to in Wasilla or Fairbanks.
Maybe she needs time off to finish her book and hit the trail on a book tour.
Perhaps giving her more credit than she deserves, someone suggested she might be leaving public life to devote some much needed attention to her special needs child and the other children who seem to be raising themselves.
But my favorite is that she may have had a better offer from FOX News. Hmmm.....as if I needed another reason not to watch that train wreck!
And why announce this on a Friday before a 3-day holiday weekend?
Leave it to Sarah Palin to try to upstage Michael Jackson!
