When pointed out to you that after she did quit Palin has spent most of her energy pursuing financial gain via media you angle that fact to fit an undeclared candidacy.
That is the problem. The facts are the facts. Your spin on them is either hypocritical or supposition.
You state that politicians who stay in one office while running for another are not noble. When it is pointed out that this is exactly what Palin did you add qualifiers.
Life is filled with legitimate qualifiers. Instead of addressing the qualifier that I gave you, you ignored it and the overall point.
Palin didn't prepare a run for VP. She was on short notice, drafted to run for VP, a task that involved a little over two months of her time while she was also a sitting governor. Palin didn't have the option of properly transitioning the job over to the lieutenant governor.
Instead, she had two options. She could have let the lieutenant governor temporarily muddle through for two months while she was running for VP or she could have turned down the VP nomination and stayed on the job. She obviously chose the first option.
Criticize her all you want based on those unique circumstance, my point still stands.
There is nothing noble about one who stays in a full-time office, while they run for president, especially when one needs about three years of full-time preparation for a serious presidential run.
