I remain puzzled by her decision to resign abruptly as the governor of Alaska. Good parents teach their chilluns to follow thru on commitments - no quitting the junior high curling team in mid-season. And “bigger fish to fry”? Perhaps she could have remained in Alaska’s governorship & found an imaginative, effective way to turn up the heat on those who were trying to fry her.
I take it you are unaware as to how much the frivolous ethics charges were costing her and Alaska?
She was sued into bankcruptcy by Democrat hacks and denied the possibility to engage in national politics. Leaving office was the only way to financially save her family and re-enter the national stage, both which she is doing with huge success.
“Perhaps she could have remained in Alaska’s governorship & found an imaginative, effective way to turn up the heat on those who were trying to fry her.”
She could have; but she explained this properly. She said that she would be a distraction and a lame duck if she remained governor.
Imagine the outcry if she was on her book tour while governor. “She’s neglecting her elected job just to sell books” or “Who cares what she thinks about Barack Obama; her job right now is governor”
Then I'd say that you need to do some more research.
Read the book...
“Perhaps she could have remained in Alaska’s governorship & found an imaginative, effective way to turn up the heat on those who were trying to fry her.”
Is that how the governor of a state best serves the people of that state? By using her time for personal business?
She did. Her book Going Rogue: An American Life is frying some fish. See it as a cook book.
Read it.
Bon appetit.
