Andrew Sullivan's Link to Levi Johnston's Entire Interview I think Sarah has been told enough times to make it true (in her own mind at least) that God wants her to lead. Lead what... I think God has yet to open that door for Sarah, which is why she can't answer to it. Did this woman have a vision? Prophecy?
Is it just me or is "The Family" just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the political ambitions of messianic people dictating nearly every facet of public policy?

Woman Jumps from State Office Building in JuneauThis was just tweeted from the Juneau Empire.
Not to make light, but it is extremely strange to have people suicid-ing in the middle of summer in Alaska.

"What all this means is that there will need to be a special session of
the legislature to confirm Campbell. If there's one possible way that
Palin can become even less popular with legislators
than she already is, it's by yanking them out of their hip waders, and
recreational vehicles, and the gorgeous Alaskan summer sun, and hauling
them back into the capitol for a bunch of meetings."
Note: A special session includes the cost of sending all the far-flung legislators BACK to Juneau, that's a helluva lot of airline tickets during the peak season.
"What else comes with a special session, besides cranky legislators, and
extra business? A big fat price tag is what. Based on previous
estimates, we could expect the costs to run well into six figures.
Wasn't one of the reasons Palin decided to drop the ball and walk off the court "pass the ball" and resign as governor because her presence was supposedly costing the state money? Just askin'."
Anyone got a calculator?

I just wanted to bring up this great debate we had last fall when Palin was tapped about what she was really representing by bringing a newborn onto the campaign trail with her.
My very bad memory seems to recall a generational difference with regards to the meaning of feminism - and gender equality.
It was probably the most insightful debate I've had on the subject and I was hoping the other participants would like to bring it full circle now that Palin has resigned.
Disclaimer: as a 30-something working mother of two, one special needs - I think the worst part about Palin is that she has so many convinced that she could have had it all except for being a victim of... *fill-in-the-blank-here*, instead of being a victim of her own choices.
Does "having it all" mean having it all at once?
Discuss =-)
