Name a politician who has NOT resigned a position for something higher? They all do it on both sides of the aisle. Yet we don't call them quitters, do we?

I personally think that if they go for a higher position while still serving the term, the opposition should be able to fill the position. You'd have far fewer jumping ship for that higher position and they'd have more to risk. They should also have to resign before campaigning for office.

But that's just me.

“Name a politician who has NOT resigned a position for something higher?”

As Longstreet told Lee at Gettysburg, “Not retreat. Redeploy.” This is what Palin has done. Lee refused to take this advice and spent his army on a fruitless, futile endeavor to capture a place of no military significance where the ground favored the Union. He stayed where he was and got slaughtered. Palin has maneuvered in the face of the enemy and repeatedly outflanked them.

It's me too.

I would also add that performing a Pre Presidential Run while serving a term is not an ethical thing to do while resigning an office to make such a run, is.
