She was elected to do a job. She quit. Her quitting put the state in a worse position. Not a good reflection on her judgement or strength.
You're looking at it while standing up-side-down and on your head. The blood is rushing to your head... LOL...
It's the liberals who have made it worse, doncha know. Palin just took the ground out from under them and removed herself from their "misdirection" at her, and now they have turned on themselves and are fouling their own nest...
I wouldn't be "buying into" the liberal's game and argument, if I were you... not unless you are one of those liberals... :-)
Your hypothesis flies in the face of all those palinite arguments that she quit leaving the state in the capable hands of her conservative Lt. Governor. If the state is worse off after she quit (as the Alaska freeper wrote) then it is on her for not staying the course.
