Well I'm sure most people have seen the video of Sarah Palin announcing the resignation as Governor of Alaska. She did not seem herself. She seemed really on edge, definitely not the confident Sarah we usually see. There are two main theories for her odd behavior. 1) A real big scandal 2) She is running for president in 2012. If the second theory is correct I wonder how confident she is in her decision? Her behavior wouldn't indicate confidence in my opinion. I personally feel she should have finished her term. But, perhaps a third theory that she has cracked would explain whats going on. Ok, so she probably didn't "crack" but, I wish Mark Sanford, would.
Governor Mark Sanford has refused to step down as Governor of South Carolina. I don't think he should step down because he is "easy". That's between him, his wife and his mistress(es). But to me he just reeks of selfishness. His comparison of himself to David from the Bible is laughable. Talk about desperately seeking a reason to remain in power.
I know they "cleared" him of misusing tax payers money to visit his mistress in Argentina. But, in the same article the following is said.
Sanford, who stepped down as chairman of the Republican Governors Association when he first confessed to the affair, has said he will repay state funds he used for the Argentine leg of the trade mission.
Does that sound innocent to you? It doesn't to me.

When Benedict Arnold defected to the British, George Washington didn't fold the tent and give up either:D
A message from the Chairman. Good Lord I love the dramatics of politics:D
Dear Kristi,
I hope Arlen Specter's party change outrages you. It should for two reasons:
First--Specter claimed it was philosophical--and pointed his finger of blame at Republicans all over America for his defection to the Democrats. He told us all to go jump in the lake today.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe a word he said.
Arlen Specter committed a purely political and self-serving act today. He simply believes he has a better chance of saving his political hide and his job as a Democrat. He loves the title of Senator more than he loves the party--and the principles--that elected him and nurtured him.
Second--and more importantly--Arlen Specter handed Barack Obama and his band of radical leftists nearly absolute power in the United States Senate. In leaving the Republican Party--and joining the Democrats--he absolutely undercut Republicans' efforts to slow down Obama's radical agenda through the threat of filibuster.
Facing defeat in Pennsylvania's 2010 Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record, and an end to his 30 year career in the U.S. Senate, he has peddled his services--and his vote--to the leftist Obama Democrats who aim to remake America with their leftist plan.
As recently as April 9th, Senator Specter said he would run in the Pennsylvania primary next year as a Republican. Why the sudden change of heart? Clearly, this was an act based on political expediency by a craven politician desperate to keep his Washington power base--not the act of a statesman.
His defection to the Democrat Party puts the Democrats in an almost unstoppable position to pass Obama's destructive agenda of income redistribution, health care nationalization, and a massive expansion of entitlements.
Arlen Specter has put his loyalty to his own political career above his duty to his state and nation.
You and I have a choice. Some will use Specter's defection as an excuse to fold the tent and give up. I believe that you are not one of those people. When Benedict Arnold defected to the British, George Washington didn't fold the tent and give up either.
He grit his teeth more determined than ever to succeed. That's what I'm asking you to do today.
