Except that she is quitting early a job for which she campaigned, won and accepted. That is not ethical, sorry.
It's very ethical. What is NOT "ethical" is all those "ethics" charges continually thrown her way. These were only going to continue.
Why put up with spending time in court when she should be on the podium preaching the conservative message.
In my mind she's far more ethical by quitting rather than costing her state money and time spent defending all the frivolous lawsuits against her. She was spending time, through no fault of her own, not doing the job she was hired to do - Governing Alaska - but defending herself from her detractors. It's also very smart to insert her Lt. Gov in the office now because then he can run as an incumbent when the term is up.

By that criteria, doddering Senators Byrd and Kennedy define ethical.
When she did that, there was no offer on the horizon to run for vice president, an event and surrounding conditions that changed everything. She's not out. She's not even down.
On the contrary, if someone believes their replacement could do a better job in the position, then resignation is the most ethical thing they can do.
Government in Alaska has become pathologically dysfunctional due to Democrat schemes designed to distract Palin from her duties. Perhaps her hope is that with her out of the picture, her replacement will be more effective in the role.
Of course, she is probably wrong. The facts seem to be that government simply doesn't work anymore. But it is best to try every other option before resorting to revolution. The violence, bloodshed, and hardship that will come as a result of civil war is best avoided if any possible alternative for resolution of the underlying offenses can be found.
She obviously has faith in her Lt. Gov., so where is the ethics violation?
Sarah has more ethics than any one I have ever known from your state of New York. Would you compare her to Hillary, Spritzer, Giuliani or any other politician from your neck of the woods?
