I listened to her entire announcement. It was honorable, it was direct, and it punctuated the insane politics of our day...it also punctuated her personal commitment to fight, and to do so when it would not distract further from her job as Governor and the foundation she has built there. I read the transcript and agree with you. Too bad Red State didn't offer up "wanted to save AK the burden of the cost of frivilous lawsuits" as an option.
