re: #829 iceweasel

I didn’t mention political suicide.

The shrewdest comment I’ve seen about Palin’s resignation ironically came from a lefty blogger who can’t stand her. He pointed out that Palin has never played by conventional rules, and she can’t be judged by conventional rules. While the conventional wisdom says that a politican who does this is committing political suicide, the conventional wisdom has never applied to Palin. She thrives on defying it, and that is part of her charm to her supporters.

As you mention, she might not even be planning on running for anything. (My guess is that you’re right, but I’m only guessing.)

None of this affects my opinion that the threat of a lawsuit is a bad idea.

Hey IW. I’d add that while discussing this may be pointless, when has that stopped anyone of us before? Question for you, if I may. I’ve heard recently about Palin not playing by conventional rules. I admit i’m not up on this. How has she been unconventional?
