If I was trying to put a spin on Palin’s resignation I would counter by asking whether it's better to get elected to the Senate, and within a year start running for President ignoring all your duties as Zero did. He needed the platform and paycheck.
Palin is doing it the proper way.
Yeah
Obama making less than a quarter of Senate votes

You think Obama is gonna want to call Palin a quitter?
Palin can just reply “You should’ve quit Obama - you seriously neglected your job.”
