Reagan might have finished his two terms, but then nobody was trying to put him into personal bankruptcy with false corruption charges.

The odds are that had Sarah Palin stayed in as Gov, she'd be bankrupt and not visible on the political stage. But that appears to be what many here would prefer.

1- She would not be bankrupt. Her one book earned her millions. Lots of politicians write books while still in office.

2- She would be less visible on the national stage. Correct. But less visibility also has its advantages.
