And quitting before her first term is even finished is not the answer.
From here on out, the media will make note of her attending various political functions, fundraisers and speeches, and will then ask, if she is able to do all this, then why could she even complete her first term as governor...?
And, yes, they will have a point.
No. they won't, because with her being a private citizen, she won't be subject to the ethics complaints tied to her office, so she won't be costing the taxpayers of AK money in fighting them.
It has nothing to do with the use of her TIME as Gov., it was simply the fact of her existing, that caused the folks to file complaints.

No, they won’t.
They are and will forget that she was not being effective as Gov because of all the attacks. She believes Alaska deserves better. Did you hear her speech? She was spending to much time defending herself and not running the state. It was wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.
This way the Lt Gov can get time as Gov and then get reelected.
It was an honorable thing to do.
