Please get the facts and stop repeating this leftist talking point.
She resigned because she was being harassed by Obama operatives who used Alaska's powerful ethics laws against her. She got virtually nothing accomplished after the election and the bogus filings were costing the state millions of dollars.
She did the right thing by resigning - the only thing why it's "controversial" is because no one has ever heard of a politician actually putting the people ahead of their political ambitions or problems.
Those filings costed her over half a million dollars and the Dem operatives even filed a suit against her having a legal defense fund. So I don't blame her for hitting the speaking circuit and raking in the dough. She's a private citizen, hopefully for now.
Listen, I get what you are saying and I completely agree with her message and her fight. Its not a leftist talking point to say that she needed to fight and stay Governor. Sarah was doing a wonderful job, especially with the pipeline deal and Alaska needed her to stay on. Her legal defense fund was legal in every sense, just more people needed to contribute to it and fight the good fight. That didnt happen. My whole family, including my friends loved her and voted for her. Its about electability now, and she really is just mocked and derided at every turn, and its a distraction.
We need to focus on the message of conservatism and keep pushing against the liberal tide of garbage with the candidate that is most electable. And I dont mean any RINO at all. Romney and Huck and McCain can butt out!
