I agree with you. Once she quit as Governor it was over for me.

That's a less that deep analysis of all that was going on, but you're entitled to it.

1. I think the legal environment in Alaska made her continuation in office an extreme financial burden, and this is verifiable.

2. I think she had political and financial reasons that were far better handled in the lower 48.

3. I think that there was enough time for her republican replacement to gain the recognition he needed after assuming her seat as governor. IOW, she gave her replacement a huge leg up in the next election...she gave him incumbent status.

Others are free to ignore all those reasons. After all, this is, for the time being, a free country.

All those points may be true, but the fact is Americans do not like quitters.
