She resigned her office because of the nuisance LAWSUITS, stemming from bogus ethical complaints.

Oh, cry me a river! And she'll have NO lawsuits if she's Prez???? Bill Clinton showed us you can be Prez and be sued. With Palin, it will only get worse.

Idiots in the press (left-wing hate bloggers) were behind the nuisance lawsuits.

The answer is NOT to resign, but to have serious "loser-pays" penalties in place -- tough enough to discourage this kind of idiotic hate mongering.

You are refusing to look at this logically.

She and her staff were spending 80% of her/their time dealing with these bogus, false ethic charges.

Furthermore, she is limited by her own budget as to how many people she can hire and the resources she can apply to this issue. She does not have an infinite number of people to handle this.

And finally, with regards to your suggestion concerning "loser-pays", she is the Chief Executive, not the legislative branch.

She does not have the power to wave her magic wand to create a new law.

While your idea has merit, it has no value right now, and given the animus that the GOP has for her in Alaska, there is no way that Law or anything like it was going to get passed during the remainder of her term.

She had no other option, if she wanted to continue to be effective in the GOP both in Alaska and the Nation at large.
