Excerpt of article that includes video of Sarah Palin criticizing Hillary Clinton for being sensitive to media criticism:Karl Rove, Deputy Chief of Staff in the George W. Bush administration said of Sarah Palin's announcement she was stepping down as governor,
It is not clear what her strategy is here.
A Fox news commentator said he had no idea what she (the governor) was talking about, or where she was going with her speech.
Republican conservative columnist George Will said of Palin's speech,
I've read it once and seen it twice and I still have no idea why she did this.
Republican strategist, Tim Griffin, a Bush advisor, said,
...She does have broad appeal to a lot of rank and file Republicans, but I want to make it very clear...I am part of the rank and file. I live in Little Rock, Arkansas and what I want is, I want leaders within the Republican party to do well and to take steps that make sense and I simply don't think that quitting in the middle of her term as governor, makes sense.
Mike Huckabee called her decision to quit "a risky strategy" if she is planning to stay in politics with an eye toward running for president in 2012.
