Most of the country, including the vast majority of Republicans and conservatives, are stunned beyond belief by Sarah Palin’s withdrawal from her term as Governor of Alaska, and are in a quandary as to her motives and intentions.
George Will and Karl Rove are two of the many who are mystified by her actions, and almost no one can rationalize or understand what she is doing, and cannot see it as a positive if she intends to run for President in 2012. To say that resigning after only two and a half years as Governor qualifies her to run for President is seen as preposterous, although I would contend that even had she finished a full term, the thought of her being President is ridiculous!
But yet, we have some so called "intelligent" conservatives and Republicans who seem to believe that it could be a positive move, including Bill Bennett, Mary Matalin, and Bill Kristol (the editor of the prestigious Weekly Standard conservative journal of opinion).   Of course, Kristol, earlier in his career, was a big supporter and aide to Vice President Dan Quayle, so one has to wonder about his judgment! :)  This is the same person who thought that Iraq was a winnable war and that it would not last as long with as big a commitment by this nation as it has turned out to be.  Also, Mary Matalin was an aide to both Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W Bush, so can one really believe her judgment is of any value? And Bill Bennett has long been known to be an arrogant, cocky, egotistical man who plays by his own drummer, so to say.
So the fact that these three people see Sarah Palin’s actions as rational has to make one wonder how intelligent and sensible they are! 🙂
