Video of the Palin Resignation

I give the speech a B+. The political move gets a D- from me. It hurts her for 2012, in my opinion, being that she hasn't built up the record and time that other nominees like Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty will have to sell in 2012. I think if the GOP is in the position to win in 2012, it's going to be because voters want someone with experience. They don't see and will not see Gov. Palin as having it. If she's planning to run for the Senate in 2010, I think she'd be seen as a carpetbagger, and with slipping poll numbers, she would lose to the up and coming Senator Lisa Murkowski.

All in all, a day full of questions. We'll have to see when the dust clears. Until then, we'll be keeping you posted.
