You have less than no idea when people were sending her money or why. It wasn't a "defense fund",for starters; it was to help defray her mounting lawyer bills, which, FYI took place long before she had seen a penny from book sales, was hired for FOX, was on TLC, and/or was making paid speeches of any kind. And, to add insult to injury, for a t least the third time: SHE WAS FORCED, BY A COURT FINDING TO RETURN ANY AND ALL MONIES, AS SHE WAS STILL THE ACTING GOVERNOR OF ALASKA !
Obviously, you neither understand nor care to, why she "quit". Actually, she "RESIGNED" and you need to look up the definitions of both of those words.
You are, at best, a political naif ( go look up that word, as well, as I am not going to explain it, nor use a dumbed down word ), who is far too impressed with her own meritless/devoid of facts opinions.
You have claimed that you are here to learn; yet you have been schooled and have been both blind and deaf to the knowledge.
And BTW...........should Palin not enter the fray, now, her "worth" becomes null and void to the Tea Party and everyone else on the right side of center. OTOH, even if she runs and loses, she will still have "value", when it comes to her opinions.
Lol. G’night.
