Again, I asked you to find another governor who quit simply because they felt like doing so, not because of ethical violations of their office or medical reasons; -much less a governor who did so in the middle of their first term. You couldn't.

Sebelius. Your turn. Give me the link to someone else who was called a quitter.

By your logic, Sebelius was a quitter. You asked for a Gov who wasn't elected to something else who resigned. Sebelius wasn't elected to anything new, Obama was. The people of Kansas elected Sebelius to serve, and she resigned. The people of Kansas didn't elect Sebelius to serve unless someone offered her a better job.

Find the links calling Sebelius a quitter, or anyone else a quitter.

And, to split the difference here, there are at least somewhat valid criticisms of Palin - for one - "what, Palin resigned because she thought 3 years was too much experience" . Try using something like that.

Or try to prove your point. If there's some sort of official list of "good reasons to resign" and "bad reasons to resign", I think that might help to make your case.

To this point, your argument consists of a dislike of Palin and a desire to see Palin called a quitter.

Recap: you need 1) evidence that others were called "quitter" 2) an agreed-upon list of acceptable reasons to resign and unacceptable reasons to resign.

'Good Lord, do you even bother to glance at my posts before responding...??

In post # 214, I specifically explained why Hillary and Sebelius had valid reasons for resigning. Both had been appointed by the President to serve as Cabinet Secretaries in the Executive Branch of Government.

Sebelius now serves as this nation's Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control, Office of the Surgeon General, the Public Health Service, and the National Institute for Health are just some of the Federal agencies that fall under her jurisdiction.

Now if Sebelius had simply resigned without being invited to serve in Obama's cabinet, then, yes, she could be labeled a quitter.

I gave Sarah the same kind of allowance. I specifically said that if Sarah had received a cabinet level position such as Secretary of Energy she too would have a valid reason for resigning.

Or try to prove your point. If there's some sort of official list of "good reasons to resign" and "bad reasons to resign", I think that might help to make your case.

There are not necessarily "good" reasons for resigning as Governor, it is that there are valid reasons fore resigning.

For example, I already mentioned medical issues as a valid reason. Being appointed a Cabinet Secretary in a Presidential Adminsitration as was the case with Clinton and Sebelius are valid reasons.

Even being given an ambassadorship, as was the case with ex-Massachusetts governor William Weld, would have been a valid reason.

Sarah is resigning simply to become a private citizen again.

To this point, your argument consists of a dislike of Palin and a desire to see Palin called a quitter.

Nope. It is a perfectly valid argument. See reasons listed above. You're the one grasping at straws.

Let me put it to you this way : do you think that John McCain would have ever even considered to select an ex-governor, who would up resigning in middle of their first term in office, as his Vice-Presidential running mate...??

No, absolutely not.

So how can you claim that resigning during her first term doesn't undermine her Presidential prospects...?
