Ever since the breaking news announcement this afternoon concerning
Governor Sarah Palin, I have been at an increasing loss for words and
bewildered of thought, as to exactly what has happened and what was or
is behind it all.
To suddenly call a news conference and then to
get up there in front of the national media and ramble for twenty
minutes, before finally dropping two bombshells? Well something is
going on IMO and that something stands to be a big bombshell. And a lot
bigger bombshell than the mere announcements that occurred in Wasilla
this afternoon.
I could understand her decision to opt not to run
for a second term as governor of Alaska, in order to prepare for a
national presidential race. But I cannot fathom why she would abandon
her current term 2 1/2 years in and without any explanation other than
what I considered to be a weak, rambling and lack luster dissertation
that left more questions than it answered.
It was as if I was
watching a different version of the inexplicable Mark Sanford press
conference of ten days ago. Only this time? No discernible scandal or
rhyme or reason to the mid afternoon drama. Something tells me that we
have not heard the last of this shocking announcement of Governor
Palin's resignation.
And something tells me that when the other
shoe finally drops? It is going to be a bombshell. Something that will
literally shake the republican party to its foundations.
You just
don't get elected to the governorship of a state, then get picked to be
the running mate of a presidential party candidate, then suddenly six
months after the race, simply call a news conference and bow out of
office. Not unless there is a major reason or outside influence at work
in that decision.
There is no question or doubt in my mind, that
Sarah Palin has purposely fallen on her own sword and there is
presently no amount of convincing me that it was done for the benefit
of family or because of the totality of stress that the vice
presidential run created and has continued to create. Or that it was
decided based upon the recent controversy involving Letterman.
Sarah
Palin was sitting on the cusp of being the 2012 nominee for the
presidency of the United States as the republicans choice and suddenly?
Someone yanked Cinderella's shoes and her ball dress and turned her
chariot back into a pumpkin and mice.
Something is definitely
amiss and it is only a matter of time before the truth prevails. And
when it does, people's heads are really going to spin IMO.
