I expect a politician that I vote for to fulfill his/her official duties...not use my state as a stepping stone to higher office. I didn’t approve of this when the Dems did it (Obama, Clinton).

That makes little sense. If she was unable to fulfill her duties due to endless frivolous litigation what good is that doing for her constituents? Why waste the taxpayers money? Given the choice, if I was a resident of Alaska, I would be very happy that she did this if for nothing more than to stop the waste of my taxes. What was left for her to accomplish that would justify the waste of that money?

As for the stepping stone, this is a fatally flawed argument from a practical and historical reality. As for her behavior, I seriously doubt you would vote for her under any circumstance.

the poster is an Obama troll . Palin had the decency to leave office so she would not be abusing the Gov office while running for Pres unlike this poster's Messiah who s held a national office for one year and then spend 3 years away from it running for Pres but getting paid nicely in our DIME !

I will vote for the GOP candidate no matter what...hoping it’s someone I like. The stakes are very high in 2012. I do think Palin’s resignation makes it less likely she will be the GOP nominee.
