Palin Officially Resigns; Obama’s Tracking Numbers Hit New Low
I’m sure they are not related, in fact, I’m one of the conservative Republicans who doesn’t understand Palin’s abrupt resignation, but interesting news out none-the-less on this beautiful Sunday.
President Obama’s new Rasmussen Tracking Numbers hit new lows, and Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin, gives her resignation speech. Here’s the video. And here’s the latest from Drudge.

Now that the root-and-branch disapproval element has been quantified, fluctuations in President Obama’s approval rating – even in a Rasmussen poll – will be driven by liberals’ disappointments, and impatience with stratagems which few outside Illinos (and, sometimes, even outside Chicago) understand. Chicago Democrats do not play for transitory political flag-captures, but for permanent, structural advantage ….. and, of course, to hear the sweet sound of the lamentations of their enemies.
