Plus he will have to get his facts straight and not slander an 18 year old that got pregnant by her boy friend versus the NY Jets like his GF did.
Blue, your explanation is about as scattered and rambling as Palin's 'resignation' speech.
The "gloves can come off" once she's no longer governor? What does that mean?
What will she be able to do now that she couldn't as governor? People work their whole career to become governor so they can affect change - why does it make sense to quit, if it's your goal to change things?
I think she was rattled by the Vanity fair piece and other criticism, couldn't take the heat, and quit.
She sees a good income in the book and speaker circuit waiting, or possibly still fantasizes that she could run for president in '012 - and basically just realizes that she doesn't want to be a governor any more. It's hard. People are mean to her.
This is the person the conservatives thought could run the free world?
