Run, Sarah, Run

The 2012 presidential campaign began on Friday, July 3, 2009. Sarah Palin's resignation amazed and dismayed most in the media. Most were highly critical of her move, especially her timing.

They will not admit it, but they were irked because she made the announcement on the day before a holiday. Most of the regular anchors and pundits were off because the Fourth of July fell on a Saturday this year. The announcement was made around noon in Alaska, which made it late afternoon for the East Coast media. They had to scramble to find commentators and reporters to cover the story in time for the evening news. Most of the interviews were via telephone. The irritation of having their holiday interrupted was clearly audible in their voices.

This is why I love Sarah Palin. You go, girl. The media muses said her announcement was proof she does not know what she is doing politically. I disagree. She knew exactly how to needle her media opponents in this most subtle way. She also knew exactly how to please those of us who support her. The more the media rail against her, the more we love her. We get it; they do not. All I want to know is where do I sign up to work on her campaign?
