Strategy??

Doesn't the resignation of Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska remind us of that famous statement by Richard M Nixon after losing an election in CA---"You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore"? Is the 'Cuda attempting the same strategy? After all, Nixon went on to win the presidency a few years later. He spent the intervening years as a grand old strategist for the G O P. That sounds like what Sarah plans to do.

But the soon-to-be-former governor needs to rethink this strategy. Nixon was coming off eight years as vice president to Eisenhower and a failed, but close, run for president against JFK. Palin comes off a trouncing as the vice-presidential candidate in a somewhat more decisive victory for the Democratic opponent. The current Republican party is more about vice than presidents. The ethical issues of the Palin regime may be somewhat resolved but many feel there is a smoking gun which really prompted this incredible move by Sarah Palin. Only time will tell but it would come as no surprise that the Pride of Wasilla wasn't responsible for a bigger turn-over than the assist she is claiming.
