What will conservatives to without Sarah? Nothing. She's not going anywhere.

Alaska is a long way from here - wherever here is.  And, it take a long time to get to and from there from here.  Transit, and governing a state (not to mention being a wife and mother) take one heck of a lot of time.  So much, in fact, that running for president would be difficult.  So, in what was a surprise - at least until we had time to think about it - Sarah Palin announced Friday that she was resigning as Alaska's governor.

And now, she's off and running and announced on her Facebook page that she has a "higher calling."  She wrote about her desire to unite the country behind conservatism, citing "our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint."  (Link to story here.)

All that I have to say at this point is . . . run Sarah, run!
