Maybe you should find a job. I know it's tough as a liberal to fathom the thought.

Frankly, I'm not even sure this move is political. If she wanted to get ahead she would have accumulated experience the best she could. Maybe she's just tired of being the left's punching bag?

Forget the experience.. the impression will be that she cant take the heat, or does not have the dedication to stick with it.

My feeling is this is a family issue, and has nothing to do with politics.. she could not stomach watching her family getting dragged into the spotlight and being the butt of jokes, slanders and negative attention. Also she did mention being able to spend more time and attention to Trig.

She got another job offer (or persued another job), one out of the political spotlight.. and that would hopefully not make the rest of her family targets and the tail end of jokes.. so she took it. At least that is my gut feeling on this.

But he doesn't seem as stodgy. Biden would be a fun guy to shoot the breeze with.

Why not?
She can run in 2016 can't she? o.O
I mean, McCain could run and he had one foot in the grave. Clinton seems to be aging very well

This story now replaces Michael Jackson as the most compelling news story.

Re: Palin to resign as Govenor

That's great.

Palin - "Thanks to all the Alaskan people who voted me your governor but I'm going to abandon my commitment to you because I have better things to do."

Great outlook on decisions she'll make if she attempts for a Presidential bid.
