No, she quit which was the best financial decision for herself.

And you are stretching real hard to equate quitting college with quitting an elected position.

It is naive in the extreme to assert that her quitting would not be the major point against her if she chooses to run, which I think will not happen.

No, she quit which was the best financial decision for herself.

You can make the assessment, but don't expect people to agree with it. Neither of us can read her mind. I believe that she is telling the truth, you don't. You can't state your opinion as fact. Notice I also did not state her motivation. I stated that she made the best decision. The fact that the decision frees her to communicate and set the political tone nationwide does not contradict the statement.

I suspect you don't even understand what she's about.

And you are stretching real hard to equate quitting college with quitting an elected position.

The similarity is the expectation of a commitment to a "whole program." Since Palin beat every single challenge that came to court, and settled one without going to court, it's not like she "had to resign" like Nixon did (and one could argue that he might have done it for the good of the country). I don't think anyone can argue that she "can't stand the heat." She's inviting more. If she is positioning herself for a run, she will have to accumulate wealth (as the establishment won't support her), political chits and public visibility. She is excelling at all three. In the meantime, she is forcing the left to get on the record on all sorts of things that they just as soon would have avoided. The Pawlentys and Romneys of the world are incapable of setting the tone. They can only try to dance a Republican version of the MSM's tune.
