Interesting timing, doing this on a Friday before a holiday. If it were to proudly trumpet a bid for the WH, wouldn't it be done with much fan fare and with big coverage, as opposed to trying to keep it on the down low as much as possible?

There's some sort of noble sob story of how she quit because the constant partisan legal accusations of corruption were costing Alaskans millions of dollars, despite her being found innocent each time.

That's just a bit too perfect though, now isn't it? Even if it were true, why give your adversaries the satisfaction?

she has 3 years to campaign. if she is running for the white house, she'll have plenty of time.

There's a poll for this. Took a second to get it together. Vote early, vote often.

i guess it shows how relentless dems are. if she wasn't such a threat, i'm sure the dems wouldn't be accusing her of every small problem. of course libs are below normal humans and i'm sure they probably get a kick out of trying to destroy lives. i guess that's why lawgaytor is such a fan.

But how does leaving her elected post early help her answer the critics who claim she doesn't have enough experience? She'll have virtually the same resume that was not really enough in 2008 in 2012.

I think it much more likely she is going to make a run at congress.

I thought she was govenor because she loved the state of Alaska and wanted to do what she could for the people and the state? Something changed? She's a pitbull hockey mom, right? So why is she giving up the fight for Alaska and it's people?

Read an article over the weekend about how divisive a figure she had become in Alaska. Apprently the perception is that she came back from the VP nomination and campaign rather disinterested in the Governorship. Bored with it. Stopped coming to meetings with the legislature and no press conferences like she used to do before running for VP.

Based on her press conference announcing resignation, I think she's just really unhappy and tired of the game.

I might go along with this if not for her statements about talking to her family about having the chance to look out for the people and children of the nation as opposed to just those in Alaska. It seemed to me like she was setting the stage for a run for office that would have an effect nationally, congress or a run for president would make the most sense given that statement. I think she would believes she could do much more in congress simply because her presidential hopes were crushed by her lousy vp run with McCain. The fact that public sentiment will turn against dems in congress will make it much easier for her to win a seat.

I agree with KB here. I think the most likely reason is national ambitions of getting elected to a congressional or senate seat.

Know what's funny is that when I typed it in it was "lossing" and I fixed it before posting by switching out an o for the s. Wow, that's bad!

I just thought it was a pun running off of the choice immediately above it.

Nah. Usually I can trace a misspelled word to the fact that I use a wireless keyboard that seems to have a mind of its own. Can't do that this time, though.
