Audio: Did Palin hint at quitting last month? Plus, a poll!

John Ziegler, perhaps Sarah Palin’s most staunch defender, pointed out this excerpt from an interview he did with Palin last month in which he asked her point-blank whether the heat had gotten to be too much. Did she tip her hand? You decide:
“There are some rough days, John, but it’s worth it.”
John says that this shows that the resignation has been planned for weeks. I got the opposite impression from this. Palin sounded defiant, saying that “they can keep taking shots,” but that she would be “in there fighting for Alaska,” as well as “energy independence.” Palin makes the point by comparing her situation to her son’s service in Iraq, and noting that he has it a lot tougher than she does. In fact, John calls her critics “terrorists,” which is over the top, but no one doubts that people tried to intimidate Palin into retreat. In this interview, she all but promises they won’t succeed.
William Amos suggested that we should put up a poll, so here goes. I’ve included some leaner positions to capture more of the nuances of opinion. Have at it!

William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:13 PM
You forgot to add “Ron Paul” to that Ed.
William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I’ll respect whatever she decides to do.
jgapinoy on July 3, 2009 at 9:14 PM
It’s not over the top at all. You don’t need to blow up buildings to try and scare people out of your way.
Darth Executor on July 3, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Gee, and I just bought the T-Shirt.
sbynyc on July 3, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Palin was waiting for AGIA and the ethics complaints to clear to leave Alaska with a squeaky clean record.
She has bigger fish to fry.
She hasn’t quit her fight or her principles. She left her position to fight for Alaska in a better way: by taking her message straight to the people and eventually to Washington.
To quote her on William Seward:
Today we see “Sarah’s Folly.” “How could she DESTROY her precious resume and her chances?!??!11″ so many cried.
Sarah’s taking the “uncomfortable, unconventional, but RIGHT path” to not only secure Alaska, but also to help secure the United States.
So many people have parsed Palin’s interviews. Parse her speech today. It’s brilliant on so many levels, with so many nuances, metaphors, keys, and codes.
North to the future.
So, that said, my vote is “Absolutely!”
lansing quaker on July 3, 2009 at 9:17 PM
History is filled with less surprising turn-arounds. Look at Nixon!
Star20 on July 3, 2009 at 9:17 PM
I can’t tell if I am just worn out or pretty much defeated. The past six months of Obama have been unbearable if I couldn’t see potential for 2010 or 2012.
Now everything is in flux.
It’s not that Palin had to be the 2012 candidate, but I don’t much like this party anymore if people like her are no longer participating.
myrenovations on July 3, 2009 at 9:18 PM
I think shes been rethinking politics ever since she found out with was pregnant with Trig. The VP acceptance was just a Hail Mary move.
Speedwagon82 on July 3, 2009 at 9:18 PM
It’s John Ziegler fault for giving her the idea! Get him!

Yes, it is.
jgapinoy on July 3, 2009 at 9:21 PM
By next month she’ll say something, have a speech, interview, whatever and etc that will make this all moot and rather childish.
- The Cat
P.S. That’s my Biden Obama will be tested moment right there.
MirCat on July 3, 2009 at 9:21 PM
My poll answer is ‘absolutely’. The way I’m reading this is that her future in national politics and what she hopes to do for Alaska/America is the reason she resigned.
Sure, it’s a high risk strategy, politicking outside the box and, given the exceptional draw of Sarah Palin, I think it has a rather good chance of succeeding. Yes, probably better than her staying as governor.
petefrt on July 3, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Money quote…
“I cannot sit down and shut up”
That about sums it up for me.
katy on July 3, 2009 at 9:21 PM
But Ed, talking about “energy independence” isn’t enough to prove her intellectual worth, right? And isn’t commenting on “taking shots” just evidence of her “whining” about media criticism?
spmat on July 3, 2009 at 9:22 PM
And they called Bubba Clinton “The Comeback Kid”.
jgapinoy on July 3, 2009 at 9:22 PM
Thank ye.
Keep on preachin’ it.
lansing quaker on July 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
In responding to a caller two weeks ago Ziegler still affirmed his position that Sarah should wait till 2016 but then did a 180 and said “Expect a surprise.”
I guess this is what he meant.
technopeasant on July 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
The Twitter-like threads on HA are the absolute BEST.
petefrt on July 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Is not!
- The Cat
P.S. Actually it is and it diminishes the evil that is real terrorism.
It’s like when a liberal calls a conservative a fascist and a Nazi it subconsciously causes people not to see fascists as that bad.
In conclusion: Is too!
MirCat on July 3, 2009 at 9:23 PM
I thoroughly enjoyed this post. Good job. :)

This poll has been Ron Pauled by the Palinistas.
csdeven on July 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Palin might be able to see Russia from her house, but only Nixon could go to China. He wasn’t a quitter…well, except for that one time.
She’s through.
Interweb Troll on July 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Go Sarah! She is the most savvy politician out there. She’ll kick B. Hussein Obama’s ass out of the White House.
jencab on July 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
What was the one subject that was beaten to death yesterday by pundits and posters: that Palin has to do her HOMEWORK.
Now she will have plenty of time to do it.
What about the resignation do you not understand? It frees Sarah’s time to do what she wants to do, travel where she wants to travel and to meet with as many people she wants or needs to meet with without being constrained by a job or having to be elsewhere.
technopeasant on July 3, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Ok, get Lansing Quaker into the green room.
Wait, you haven’t ever resigned from anything have you?
- The Cat
MirCat on July 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Sure she can run for office again if she wants to. For something like Congress, Senate or President she should probably wait about 8 to 12 years, but yeah, obviously she could.
Frankly, this is a stupid f-ing question.
All these people are saying, “It’s over” and “She’s done.” Sure, maybe if she doesn’t want to hold public office anymore. I wouldn’t blame her for that.
She’s a bold person in a pussified pastel-colored nation with a corrupt government and an even worse media complex. That makes public life hard for her. But if she wants to take it all on to her shoulders again in 8 – 12 years she will have a very real chance of succeeding.
Stupid question. Myopic nation.
thebadoutlaw on July 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
She’s not from the beltway. She threw the DC pundits off their game today as she did last fall.
She doing things the old fashioned way and is turning politics on its head.
Sarah is going to maneuver outside the box from now on.
katy on July 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I don’t like this party much either. I just like the donks a whole lot less. But Sarah is not retiring. Count on that.

P.S. The Ronulans hacked/used exploits on polls. We Palindins simply voted and Mitt still is a soggy marshmallow.
MirCat on July 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
This was not the interview where she hinted at it. She said in one of her speeches, quoting Esther, “Politically, if I die, I die.”
promachus on July 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
BTW, isn’t it ironic that the pundits didn’t say anything about Utah governor leaving his job mid-term but when she does, she’s dead politically?
promachus on July 3, 2009 at 9:29 PM
Ha! Appreciate the ups. But I’m a PUMA Dem! I will probably get eviscerated if I’m on here! AP or Ed could always invite me, though! ;P
But, in all seriousness, Palin’s speech was fantastic. I had the biggest sh*t-eating grin on my face afterward, and then logged on here and just saw a ton of Eeyores.
The speech was brilliant. So good on so many levels. Palin’s upped her game — not backed down.
lansing quaker on July 3, 2009 at 9:29 PM
One fine post, lq. Megadittos!

I don’t think we have seen the last of Sarah Palin. I hope she comes back as “journalists”. I would love to see her interview K Couric…

myrenovations on July 3, 2009 at 9:18 PM
whatever Palin does or doesn’t do. doesn’t matter much in nthe scheme of things. i have to agree with you. I have been a republician all my life. reagan brought me into the fold. Over the last 6 years i ahve increasingly been at odds with the leaders of the party. I will use Zell miller’s quote here: I did not leave the party the party left me. I will more than likely stay in the party for now but the rep party has become the party of the country clubers and that turns me off. I will never vote for the liberals but i am increasingly concerned for my country that once stood for freedom and liberty and now with IRAN and Hondourous stands instead for dictatotors and marxist thugs. The rep party seems to want to move in that same direction and i for one am tired of it. Maybe Allah and his rino buddies can fix the countries ills with more government but history tells us that is not so.
unseen on July 3, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Precisely. I don’t know what all this harping is about that “it’s the end of her career” or “I don’t get why she quit?! What’s the REAL reason?” Are these people dense or do they just pretend to be?
As a side note, why did she have to remain Gov. to run for President? Let’s look at the field of potential nominees: Mitt Romney (FORMER Gov of Mass.), Mike Huckabee (FORMER Gov. of Arkansas), Tim Pawlenty (soon-to-be FORMER Gov. of Minn.), Newt Gingrich (FORMER Speaker of the House), etc. None of these people hold public office right now (nor WILL they in the next 3 years), yet they’re viable candidates. Palin gets out of office, “IT’S THE END OF HER POLITICAL CAREER!!!” Good grief man, get a grip.
LiquidH2O on July 3, 2009 at 9:31 PM
I watched the video of the press conference right now on FNC. She seemed defeated to me.
terryannonline on July 3, 2009 at 9:32 PM
+100. A very gracious post today when there was little grace to be found anywhere.
promachus on July 3, 2009 at 9:32 PM
I have more respect for terrorists, nazis, fascists, communists, etc. than I do for liberals. Liberals target unborn babies who can’t fight back for extermination while squealing like pigs at the thought of killing people who are trying to destroy us. Hitler had balls the size of Jupiter to try and take over the world with just a crazy asshole like hirohito and obama’s spiritual ancestor mussolini (much like obama, mussolini talked a good talk but when it came to achieving anything of worth Hitler ended up having to bail his stupid ass out; see greek theater) at his side. You’re right that it’s wrong to compare liberals with terrorists, but that’s because it’s unfair to the terrorists, not to the liberals. The liberals should be flattered by a comparison with other evil people who actually have balls.
Darth Executor on July 3, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Palindin. I think I like that. I’m gonna steal it.
Darth Executor on July 3, 2009 at 9:33 PM
I’m a 1984 type Republican and I must say I have more respect for The PUMAs than I do the squishy cons that stayed home and whined, moaned, and sulked.

P.S. Plus you’re a good read. I don’t mind those I disagree with as long as they are genuine, intelligent, and civilized.
MirCat on July 3, 2009 at 9:33 PM
The greatest misconception in Presidential politics is that many people think you can launch a Presidential campaign once you take a notion, at the drop of a hat, on the fly, or once you see Obama’s poll numbers in the tank.
It takes 2-3 years years of serious, detailed planning to launch an effective well-oiled Presidential campaign in the 21st c. If Sarah had stayed on till Dec 2010 or run for re-election there is no way she could have waged an effective campaign and the last time I checked the purpose of running for President was to WIN the nomination and then the WH.
technopeasant on July 3, 2009 at 9:34 PM
You bet’cha!!

I’m telling you, she’s up to something big. Something she couldn’t and shouldn’t have done as Governor.

petefrt on July 3, 2009 at 9:36 PM
God, I hate those people that have forced her to do this. I see that there are 8 threads about Sarah and I’m just starting on this one. If she isn’t going to make a run for the WH, I am really going to be po’ed. It will be time to hunt down those rooster fishes and kill ‘em.
If she is just getting out of the Alaska governorship to polish her foreign policy creds and whatever, then I’m OK with it. Then I will pour money into her campaign.
I don’t know anything yet, just got off the lake.

bazil9 on July 3, 2009 at 9:36 PM
To be honest when I was in my late 20s considered running for office. Decieded that I work better behind the scenes than I would ever been as a candidate.
Maybe Sarah came to that conclusion. She works better as a party builder than being a party of a party all too willing to tear itself apart for political gain.
William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:38 PM
BTW hasnt Bush’s Popularity numbers started to rise again since he left office ?
William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM
She will sit out a year,letting others rise, only to be destroyed by the left and the MSM. She will give Alaska a break (and a head of state not forced to use the majority of their time in dealing with frivolous lawsuits. She will give her family a break.
Then she’ll make the speaking rounds for the 2010 campaign where it makes sense. Then we’ll see what happens.
michaelo on July 3, 2009 at 9:40 PM

I just donated to her PAC – if you think America needs to hear her voice, donate now. Let’s see how much $$$ she racks up by next week.

Kini on July 3, 2009 at 9:41 PM
I think you’re being purposely thick here. It’s not that she has to be a governor while she runs. She has to finish the stinking job she campaigned for though. All the other people you gave as examples didn’t quit halfway through their terms. I dare you to find anyone who has pulled something like Palin did today and then went on to remain politically viable.
The only thing Palin proved today is that she doesn’t have the sense of responsibility or duty it takes to be President of the United States. I don’t care why she quit. I don’t care if she thought it was the right thing for her to do in order to free up time for herself. No matter how anyone tries to spin this, the truth of the matter is she quit her job. She quit on her constituents. She quit on all the people who ever supported her in Alaska. She doesn’t deserve to be President.

christene on July 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
If she is gonna run in 2012, giving up her Gov seat is the right thing to do for Alaska taxpayers. Plus, this will free her to countersue/sue all the haters who attack her.
Look at Obama: less than two years in the senate and he packs up to campaign, leaving Illinois taxpayers short. I remember reading that there were more deaths in Chicago last summer than in Iraq.
TN Mom on July 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Don’t worry. She’s gonna run. When people are going to criticize everything you do anyway, do what the hell you want. It’s just a shame she had to give up an elected seat to do it. But… she’s gonna run.
LibTired on July 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
She might have thought that if the attacks kept up for months or years without a break that she would not have been able to overcome the stereotype created. She might be trying to get out of the spot light and come back later.
Terrye on July 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Yes, look at him. How’d that work out for the GOP?

Start the meme. Carry it far and wide.
If you are a Palin supporter, she is now the ULTIMATE outsider, untainted by the stench pf Washington politics. And totally free to do whatever she wants to do, go wherever she wants to go and support whomever she chooses.

People are used to dealing with typical politicians. Sarah Palin is NOT a typical politician. Who makes these rules that they have tried to tie Palin down with?
These are the same people who had the grand strategies to beat Obama, who like Palin is NOT a typical politician. The typical mold of running/campaigning in the 21st century using 19th century tactics is old and not effective.
Palin has taken the typical mold for getting on the Republican platform, smashed it to bits and stands on the rubble.
This is a new Era in politics. Sarah Palin didn’t just drag McCain across the finish line in ‘08……she just pulled the Republican party out of the stone age.
portlandon on July 3, 2009 at 9:44 PM
There is a well-thought out plan. The Messiah started running for re-election on Nov. 5/2008. Sarah simply has no time to lose to engage herself full time in the Presidential sweepstakes.
technopeasant on July 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Would you consider reconsidering? We need people like you to replace pols like we got.
petefrt on July 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
The only answer to that question is “absolutely” because Stuart Smalley is now a United States Senator. Not to mention Barack Hussein Obama is now POTUS “with nothing but a speech from 2002″.
Norks shot off missiles after Palin’s speech. They like it!
Speaking of Norks, how could she travel and such with the Norks going nuts every 3 seconds? The press went freakazoid over Sanford being gone, and South Carolina was not one of the states mentioned on Lil Kim’s hit list!
freeus on July 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
From her speech, she said it outright. With all the attacks, and lawsuits, she can’t do her job to it’s fullest, and wants to do what’s best for Alaska, and the people…and is resigning. It’s not hard to figure this out.
Now…would Obama stand up to the same challenge? After the mess he’s made of the economy, and government, would he be willing to resign, for the good of the country, and it’s citizens? Of course not. He doesn’t love this country, or it’s citizens, as much as he loves himself.
capejasmine on July 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Baby steps. But she has to be uncompromising to her principles.

Who cares about her national career?
Politics is NOT everything. She seems like an awesome, classy person. She can make a contribution to society however she wishes. Palin and her family have been treated like crap, and I can only imagine how they feel taking this crap day after day.
She has a lot of options.

Go now,
Don’t look back, we’ve drawn the line,
Move on,
It’s no good to go back in time,
I’ll never find another girl like you,
For happy endings it takes two,
With fire and ice, a dream won’t come true.
Sarah, Sarah,
Storms are brewing in your eyes,
Sarah, Sarah,
No time is a good time for goodbyes…
Danger,
In the game when the stakes are high,
Branded,
My heart was branded while my senses stood by,
I’ll never find another girl like you,
For happy endings it takes two,
With fire and ice, a dream won’t come true.

Sarah, Sarah,
Storms are brewing in your eyes
Sarah, Sarah,
No time is a good time for goodbyes…

Why did it all fall apart?

Here you have a liberal nut in a nutshell. This is why libs are such losers – they keep repeating ridiculous lies. Google for Little Diomede:

Then what’s the purpose of engaging in a dialogue with you? If nothing I say (or more importantly, nothing SARAH says) is going to be ‘valid’ in your eyes, because you’ve already decided she’s a “quitter”, then where do you suggest we go in this discussion?
LiquidH2O on July 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM
It’s all moot. Obama will win 40+ states in 2012.
angryed on July 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Great…just when the focus should be directly on Maobama, another diversion from what he’s doing is given birth. The press can go back to sensationalism and get over that “spell” a few had with all that “maybe we can challenge this doofus in the Whiote House”.
Wall to wall freak pedo coverage..Palin psychological analysis fest, no doubt… and the Bolsheviks march on…maybe Iran will string up some dissidents and the Norks flap and shout..Putin can’t wait to humiliate the pussy in the White House…and C&T will march along..Maobamacare will be a bait and switch..ACORN will get your information by authority of law..and the press will cover MJ and Palin.
Just shoot me.
Itchee Dryback on July 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
What if she is leaving the republican party because she wants to start a better conservative party. Not for 2012, or even 2016, but 2020 or 2024.
She is young, and really doesn’t have to make this decision now.
cptthumper on July 3, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Nah I am nearing 50 years old and dont have enough of a career to consider that. But would love to help anyone else get elected.
William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Yes, but she also said:
Anyone who argues she’s BAAAAAWing off the stage because “god guys, u r so mean!” is either spinning, or way too quick to buy the spin.
Nothing in that says “quit.” Nothing in that says “defeat.”
Everything that says is “I’m fighting, and I’m fighting hard.” Republican, Democrat, whatever. Sarah’s taking on the establishment, despite the party.
Sarah Palin is a PUMA. She doesn’t need a resume, and she doesn’t need a party.
She commands principles. It’s quintessentially “Sarah,” and now she has the national venue (thanks media!) to preach it from the rooftops.
That is Sarah Palin.
North to the future.
lansing quaker on July 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM
40 of the 57 states ?
William Amos on July 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM
That’s 57 in Obamaland
Kini on July 3, 2009 at 9:53 PM
What? She hasn’t accomplished jack on the national stage except to show that even Katie Couric can outsmart her. And she only got on the ticket because McCain couldn’t put his Democrat buddy there instead. That’s not reinventing the wheel, it’s opportunism.
I mean, I liked Palin in the election more-or-less. She certainly wasn’t any weaker than Biden. However, she’s far from the savior you people seem to think she is. Especially now that she’s shown herself to be one of those people who’ll start a job and then just give up on it when it gets a little difficult.
She’s a quitter plain and simple.
Interweb Troll on July 3, 2009 at 9:53 PM
So many people have no imagination. Palin is UNIQUE. She can speak from outside the office and make it work for her, if that’s what she wants to do. I think she absolutely hated running alongside McCain, with all of those “elitists” looking down their noses at her. Excuse me, but they are nobodies.
disa on July 3, 2009 at 9:54 PM
So tell me, have you convinced yourself yet that there’s nothing to fear from her?
I didn’t think so.

al Liberal operatives,Keith Obermann,’the Tingle’Chris Matt
ews,’Perky Katy Couric’,and hitman Gibson,all played a part
in trying to tear down,this great American Patriot!
And,I have to admit,and its no secret,that Sarah did not
get the support,from the RNC,that this women,has earned!
Do not panic,SarahCuda is only regrouping,planning,and
is thinking strategicly for her familes future,as well as her own political career!!

I voted ‘Doubtful’, but I’d sure like to see her take the lead in standing up to the ‘climate change’ zealots in the academic, government, and political elites, who are intent upon destroy the economies of the Western World.
I sent a letter to Mitt Romney suggesting he assume that role, but never even got the courtesy of a reply.
Sarah could do it, but she’d need to bone up in a hurry on the science. She’s got a head start with her energy background, so she could easily give the lie to the crazy notion that we can run the country on ‘renewable energy’.
My worry is that she quit because there is some scandalous revelation coming down the pike that would have destroyed her career in any case. Let’s hope it isn’t so.

She could be quite a force in motivating grassroots movements and direct action without having the albatross of potential political damage or scandal. She will be just a citizen.
Why she just didn’t wait out her term is truly a mystery to me.
Either she actually plans on a more direct involvement to motivate the grassroots and senses (correctly imo) that there is no time to waste……..or there is some real crap about to come out……..or she’s just disgusted with the whole fake world of national politics……or something else.

The conspiracy theories continue…. master plan is to walk away from responsibilities and then claim that this was some kind of enormously brave action.
She quit – gave up – failed to meet the oath of office.
And yet….. it is a brilliant ploy to her faithful Paliniacs….

The resignation part is simply too bizarre. She’ll never recover.

Angry, Ed? More like Mad Ed. He can’t blindside the fools twice. Now we ALL know who he is.

I’m not a liberal. It was a joke, and you’re an idiot.
However, what I’m definitely not is a “party man” who’s going to back some loser because I’m so blinded by party or ideological loyalty that I can’t see what’s in front of my face. Palin quit on her constituents. That’s a fact. Everything else you people are saying in her defense is conjecture. You’re constructing an image of her you hope is true. Nothing more. I prefer to deal with facts, and the only fact we know is that Palin is a quitter.
