There’s no parallel here, for either side of the question “should she have quit?”
Dole had spent a lifetime in the Senate, Palin is a rookie governor.
Dole was an old has-been who the liberals giggled at. Palin has the liberals so frightened they have launched a series of “ethics attacks” coordinated from the Oval Office to make her remaining time in the governor’s chair untenable.
I think she may have pulled a jujitsu move on the Big Zero Messiah.
It doesn’t mean I think this makes it easier to win the presidency herself. It probably doesn’t.
But it does free her up to go after that lousy commie muzzie lying Kenyan usurper and destroyer of the US Constitution. She doesn’t have to actually become president to become one of the most important figures in US history.
We’ll see.
Good point. This is certainly getting interesting.
