That seemed to be the problem Alaska folks have - at least the random sample I talked to. She quit and according to them "went Hollywood".
I’m a big fan of Palin, but I wish she had stuck out the last 17 months of her governorship and that she’d do some kind of global energy policy work, or somesuch, at a think tank or something in these years she’s not holding office.
I was a big supporter of Gov. Bill Weld and a mild supporter of Gov. Paul Cellucci in MA before they both bailed on their governorships early. And that totally turned me off of them, so I can understand Alaskans’ bruised feelings.
