Either way Sarah will be the topic and all the old school rinos and supposed conservatives who think it's just the end of the world that she quit 14 months 7 days 5 hours 32 minutes and 16 seconds before the end of her term.
I say the hell with them all.
Sarah did the reputable,ethical thing by resigning IMHO.
Most Senators, Governors and House Reps. routinely run for other offices while holding another. What happens to the office they hold while they run? It generally goes down the tubes.
Sarah is not willing to do that to her home state of Alaska which she loves and respects. I say lets respect her decision.
That was my thought as well. I remember when W would not take his pay as governor when he was campaigning for President. How many others have done that?
I'll be listening for comments of "Quitting". IIRC, a certain Illinois senator announced his run for President after "serving" ~ 100 days and rarely spent any time in DC. He chose to quit serving as a senator yet no media called him on it as they are doing to Sarah.
This is the part that they just don't get. She does, and so do I.
I think the $2 million cost to Alaska and another $500,000 to Palin to fight 18 fake ethics complaints had something to do with her resigning. This frees her up to promote her book and campaign for Republicans this coming year.
The Democrats, and Maureen Dowd, are aghast over loosing their target for their hatred. I won’t be surprised if Sarah becomes much more aggressive against both the media and the Democrats (especially zero) from now on.
