The thing is, she didn’t just wake up one morning of a normal, routine gubernatorial term and say, “Hey, I’m tired of this. I want to go make money and do reality shows and buy a place in Phoenix.” That’s not how it happened. That’s about as far as it can be from how it actually happened. The gov pulled the plug on her term early for a reason and it wasn’t just because she wanted to. It’s incredibly irritating that I and many others saw that at the time, and still do, and others, some ostensibly as well or better situated to follow the story (like, let’s say, a senior editor of the American conservative movement’s magazine of record) still don’t. Or are willing to gloss over it.

Well said! That’s not how it happened. That’s about as far as it can be from how it actually happened.

And so much for through and through conservatives - the MSM manipulates the truth. Since when is that tactic called conservative SOTC?

I agree that Sarah had good reasons for resigning the office of Governor of Alaska. My concern is how that is going to be perceived by the American people if she chooses to run.

She'll definitely have to come up with a strategy for educating people on her reasons, then repeat it over and over so the voters finally get it. We all know she will be blasted about it repeatedly by the MSM.

Agreed. The author should have known this. Either he's misinformed or deliberately misrepresenting the facts.
