Jveritas, you have done some outstanding work on Arabic translation and terrorism issues, and I respect you for that, BUT you are completely ignorant on this particular subject.
Palin resigned because Obama's minions had virtually bankrupted her family and they were about to go under since no one in GOP was lifting a finger to help her fend off the attacks.
You should know that by now. If not then shame on you!
Those are silly excuses. She could have waited few more months and made millions on her book and paid all the debt very easily. She resigned because she cannot take the heat, it is that simple. She is a weak person with a lot of rhetoric exactly like Obama.
Just began reading the Gov’s book this weekend....very easy read and easy to identify with her and her family and friends. I think that is a big part of her appeal, she is “one of us”...everyday, ordinary, and pissed off!!
