I agree that she lost credibility and I personally don't think that part matters. I really don't believe she would have done well running anyway because she is not well versed in much of what is required... (sort of like our current assclown)
I disagree with the "chicken" part. I think she is moving on because whether folks agree or disagree, she has a history of being just a common person who did try to do what she felt was right for her town and state. Once she was thrust into the spotlight, it became viciously personal and political. Sure, you have small town politics at the state level but that is nothing like the attacks she is going through now. If you sit there all day and defend made up attacks (all which have turned out to be untrue up to this point) while trying to raise a family, how could you keep your cool? Personally, I would have kicked someone's ass by now. I know you and DC would as well. She is right that if you are spending all your time fighting that, you become a distraction.
IMO - Palin would never become president but does not deserve all the personal bitterness towards her. The personal attacks I have read in this thread are unwarranted. I would agree with those who feel she is unqualified though. I would be rather happy if Ron Paul was President, and my state was in the hands of Palin and Nuggent.
