I hope I am wrong, but I can’t help thinking it was a mistake for her to resign as governor of Alaska.

She might be exploring a presidential bid, but doesn't want to announce that yet because she might see the Senate as a fallback option. Give her a couple of months to get her footing and some speaking fees.
