Would she try to stay in office for at least 2 years?
No one relinquishes power. Amid the most acrimonious scandal politicians hang on until the bitter end, regardless of how negatively it affects their constituents. No one does it because they love the power.. Palin had no scandal. She had done NOTHING wrong. But she was being attacked relentlessly because of an obscure law that allowed unfounded claims to be treated as substantive. You don’t know this of course, because you never looked beyond the MSM narrative. When Palin stepped down she made the best decision for Alaska, the worst decision for her... And you can’t see that.. Sad.
Palin has served many terms in several offices, and was Governor for 32 months before resigning, and then helping to create and lead a modern American conservative movement.
For a while after November 2nd 2008, it was Palin alone, and fighting alone to reinvigorate conservatism and the GOP, taking on the media alone until the tea party formed.
