Do you have any clue what would have been involved?

Yes, I do. I concur that it would have been Hell, but so is a Presidential campaign. Its grueling, exhausing, mindlessly repetitive, and humiliating. But...the Presidency is important enough that we put the people in that position through the ringer to make sure they can take it.

The fact we have the quality of politicians we do is laid at the doorstep of people like you...and no, that's not a compliment toward you or the typical politician.

Stop dodging the facts. Staying in the Governor's office would have ruined her politically and, more important, financially. The Palins had already taken a $550K hit from legal fees, with no end in sight.

We aren't merely talking about someone saying mean things about her, and to imply that's all that's involved...well, defend it.

Since, I guess, in your eyes that's no big deal, why don't you explain what a $500K hit on your personal finances would do?
