The timing of this announcement is very odd for someone who is trying to execute a strategy to get into the White House in 2013.

For those of you who have not seen Palin’s presser, here it is via Paddy via Taylor Marsh at the Political Carnival:That was rambling and disjointed even by Palin’s low standards. When I was watching it, it reminded me of a COPS episode, when they are are talking to a guy accused of stealing [...]...

A few minutes ago, Megan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's spokeswoman, seemed to suggest Andrea Mitchell's sources who claim Palin is "out of politics, period" are wrong: FOX ANCHOR: Was today's presentation from Governor Palin the opening salvo in the campaign for the presidency of 2012? PALIN SPOKESWOMAN (CHUCKLING): I won't go so far as saying that. What I will say, though Stuart, this is a fighting move. This is a move that says 'okay, enough. I'm not going to keep hitting...

Andrea Mitchell offers a different read on today's events than most have thus fair, saying sources close to Palin are claiming that she has told them that she is "out of politics, period" and that they are free to throw their support behind other 2012 candidates. Who knows if Mitchell is right, but if she is, it would make a heckuva lot more sense than this being the opening of the 2012 campaign, as Bill Kristol suggested to Fox. Update...
A ROUNDUP OF user-alienating web practices. I particularly hate autorun videos (you hear me, Forbes?) — but the ones with no controls are much worse.
Bill Kristol is kidding himself if he thinks this is a "shrewd move" on Palin's part. That press conference and everything about this make Mark Sanford look like a master of public relations. Nobody springs a "surprise resignation" as a way to guarantee orderly governance. It doesn't even make sense on the face of it....
