Yes, I have been around very much long enough to know her stated reason for resigning. So what happens when she runs for Senate and the same folks harass her again? Will she again quit?

Broken courts allowed the legal harassment in the first place. So the answer when a politician (including a popular one) is being run through the harassment mill is to just resign and give those harassing you exactly what they want? Sounds suspiciously like negotiating with terrorists.

I think the law that allowed these suits and forced Palin to use her own funds to defend against them was unique to Alaska. I have also read that the law was corrected after Palin resigned. So I don't think the situation can arise again.

I do not think Palin will ever run for a state wide office again. She has much more power as a king maker then she would have as a senator. She might however run for a national office just to piss off the GOPe.

Different laws are in effect. They can't hurt her or her family now like they did in 2009 with their frivolous, well-coordinated complaints and lawsuits.
