" Yielding power to lt. gov. for continuation of her good work in Alaska is not quiting on her commitment to Alaska. Whatever she does she will still be fighting for Alaska, her family, and the conservative values our country needs. Her political style may not be traditional, but look where traditional has gotten us. Susan should change "quit" to "yield power". The rest of her article is right on. We need leaders like Sarah Palin and committed families like hers. God bless her and our country. "

" Leah, it's time to take a basic civics class. Hate to break it to you...but yes, you can be 'present' for voting without voting for or against a measure. And the number of days the JUNIOR senator spent doing his job range anywhere between 118 to 183 depending on what the source counts as a 'day'. In any case, it's well short of '2 years'. But you're right about one thing...somebody obviously does need to educate themself. "

" If you knew anything at all about the U.S. Senate then you would know that in the U.S. Senate you can only vote 'yea' or 'nay' there is NO 'present' in the U.S. Senate. And as far as YOUR 118 days comment YOU are wrong about that also - perhaps you should research the facts before typing nonsense. "

" 2 years is bunk. He spent 118 days performing his job as a Senator. He was NOT present for the other days during those 2 years. Look it up. While you're at it...look at the number of times he didn't bother to vote, and the number of times he merely voted 'present' instead of 'aye' or 'nay'. Oh yeah, a real leader he is... "

" EdwardfromAZ,
You need to re-do your math
Obama's term as the United States Senator
from Illinois began January 4, 2005.
He announced his decision to run for president Feb. 10, 2007. So he was a U.S. Senator for over TWO YEARS before running - NOT 118 days.
And he was a state senators for almost EIGHT years before he took the U.S. Senate seat.
Please stop with your falsehoods. "

" From what I understand about all these frivilous civil lawsuits against Sarah Palin, it comes from an Alaska Supreme Court Decision exempting "Pay to Lose" plaintiffs when they somehow invoke an Environmental or "For the People" approach to their lawsuits. Without the Court, Sarah Palin's $500,000 legal debt would be mostly paid by the Plaintiffs because they ALL LOST.

Alaska appears to be home of SERIAL COMPLAINERS. What is it, the Long Nights in the Winter? "

Stop comparing Palin to Obama! Obama had FAR less time in office, no executive experience, no budget experience and he's a wonderful, wonderful socialist who knows what's best for us dumb citizens!

I can't wait for the day when he takes ALL of our money for really great social programs, and forces those evil successful people to pay my bills!

You can't be serious! President Obama majored in Political Science and went on to obtain a law degree (graduated at the top of his class). He was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, he taught Constitutional Law for ten years, was a State Senator and a U.S. Senator. There is no way you can think that Sarah as even a tenth of the brains that Our President has.

So, as I said before, I guess this person would LOVE to have Kim Jong's son in office since he went to some of the best universities in Europe? And some of our greatest Presidents were actually DUMB because they went to small universities? "

Palin went to several lower grade colleges, and barely graduated with a journalism degree. She barely traveled anywhere, went into small town politics, and became govenor of the most unpopulated state in the nation. That is only the tip of the iceburg of Palin's severe shortcomings.

But the nation is swooning and clasping it's hands together in joy over putting a man in office with even LESS experience than Sarah. He had NO budget oversight experience, NO executive experience, NO military oversight experience. Heck, he was barely beginning his first term as a junior senator!

Senators who choose to run for higher office have no-one to cede authority to (and since each state has two senators, the state is still represented). Palin did not cede authority to Parnell and as a result, our state had no CEO.
