To me, this seems like someone who doesn't want the job resigning.  I don't see ANY evidence that it's anything more than that.  Does Sarah Palin REALLY want to be president?   Doesn't seem like it to me.  She won't bother to keep up with current events, let alone develop an understanding of history or come up with real policy positions.  I know she has a PAC.  I know the media have inferred that she wants to run for president.  But, Newt Gingrich has been running this scam for years.  Pretend to run for president so you can charge tens of thousands of dollars to give speeches.

 We know she hasn't even been pretending to run the state of Alaska since John McCain picked her as his running mate.  She's been touring the country stumping for candidates and talking to anyone that will listen.  She said that this is what she and her family want.  She said that this is what's best for Alaska.  I think we should listen to her.  Personally, I think this was a smart move.  Why should she fight through all these ethics complaints and do all that actual work when she could be getting  rich right now?  She doesn't want the job.  She's not smart enough to do the job.  She doesn't work hard enough to do the job.

Often, we get confused because the media is so terrible.  I've heard several commentators claiming that "this isn't like her" and "she's a fighter."  Based on what?  They didn't know ANYTHING about her before she was plucked from obscurity by McCain.  Since then, what has she done to prove she's this "fighter"?  McCain, a dummy who would've made a terrible president, can be correctly characterized as a fighter.  Well, at least when he was young.  We know it's in him.  But Sarah Palin is simply a dim bulb who lucked up and became governor.  I guess it's possible that there's some terrible scandal on the horizon.  However, I've seen enough of her where it does not surprise me that she quit.
