Okay, This week the big news in America was that Michael Jackson was still dead. On a minor note, the Governor of Alaska announced that she was stepping down. This was big news and as such I thought I would shed some light on this – at least from my perspective. Before I start let me throw in that I do not believe she had the intention to seek another term as Governor. These are the reasons I think she stepped down in no particular order.
1. She actually did not want to continue on as a lame duck and she would have, as it would have been necessary to announce her intention to run for reelection soon with the election coming up next year.
2. By stepping down, the Lt. Governor will be able to function as Governor and run as an incumbent, which is always a strong position.
3. It will help to keep the press from feasting on her as they have this last year. Obviously it won’t eliminate it but it will help to curve it – Maybe.
4. She can travel more and create the network necessary to run for office, be it the congress or the White House.
5. Gives her the time she needs to bone up on the issues, build a campaign team, and be better prepared for a run at office in 2012 (I think you know what I am talking about).
Of course this is all speculation but Sarah Palin is definitely unorthodox so who knows; however.com.org.net.edu…she may just be fed up with it all – NAH!
More To Come,
Bill
