Resigning was a move of political genius, imho. a 4fer ! 1) Stopped the lawsuits and shut the hell up the dems trying to destroy her. 2) enabled her to make money on the speaker circuit/books to pay for the legal harrasment and support the conservative cause and tea party candidates. 3) which gave her a national voice, which she would not have had stuck in only-God-knows- what time zone that is in Alaska 4) while leaving the governorship in great hands.
She had no choice and it most satisfyingly backfired on the dems.
A question for you 2DV....do you fully understand that Sarah was facing personal family bankruptcy if she stayed in office to deal with countless nuisance law suits from local Dems who were doing nothing but trying to damage her ?
