I fully agree with Mark Steyn's take, in fact, it parallels my post which came out with the news:
It is the explanation that makes the most sense, her family has been so battered by this process, by the unmitigated venom of the Democrat attacks against her, that they are simply withdrawing into their Alaskan reality. They never lived by the Beltway reality. They are just going home.

Indeed. For now. But take heart. An American family has just declared independence.
Happy Independence Day!

I don't know. There is one thing she said that some writer (Kristol?) picked up on that has me scatching my head. She said, "You don't need a title to fight for what is right..." I listened last night to every word of her speech and this isn't someone who is going home to cook moose stew. I get a sense that she may feel that she is ready to really take on the elites. The libtards are claiming she is "abandoning" her responsibilities but I get a sense that she (perhaps had inside intel or just smart) would have been criticized viciously had she stayed governor and started making bold statements about Zero's misdeeds. As governor the libtards would have continued to attack her with spurious ethics complaints and every comment she made about Zero would have been rejoined with more snooty crap from libtards about how she was neglecting her responsibilities as governor. Now that isn't a problem.
I said from the start last Nov. what conservatives need is a "shadow" gummint that would boldly announce what it would have done instead of what Zero and his minions are doing. Now she is free to fill that roll, boldly and loudly. The tone of voice and the words I heard lead me to suspect this is just what she is thinking. I think this girl is grabbing the biggest damn gun in her closet and going moose hunting. God Bless her and I say I would be happy to help her "field dress" that moose when she brings it down.
