Initial Reactions to Palin's Announced Resignation

(I may keep updating this post for a while.)

From the WaPo:

"We've seen a lot of nutty behavior from governors and Republican leaders in the last three months, but this one is at the top of that," said John Weaver, a longtime friend and confidant of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the party's presidential nominee in 2008 whose of selection of Palin catapulted the first-term Alaska governor to national prominence.

[2009-07-03 16:28:09] "Sarah Palin" is already at the top of Twitter's "Trending Topics." (Second: #moonfruit. Nope. No clue about that one.)

[2009-07-03 16:30:46] Just to be clear, her term as Governor wasn't supposed to end until 2010.

[2009-07-03 16:32:56] Edroso tweets:

A rushed, nearly incoherent press conference that caught her staff by surprise, on a Friday afternoon before a long, news-dead weekend? Please. Wait for the other shoe to drop.

Quite right, I think, and as you can see I've said elsewhere (if you follow the link over to the Bh.tv thread).
