It seems to me, and as explained in my post, that Palin’s motive for stepping down was to protect the people of Alaska.

If she were making her decisions for the sake of personal gain, don’t you think she would have kept her private jet, and accepted a higher salary instead of refusing it?

Palin’s good fortune in the private sector was not her motive for stepping down. But to think she should have moved into the poorhouse right away seems rather pointless.

Gov. Palin wrote a biography. She didn’t force anyone to buy it. She signed with a speaker’s bureau and gave speeches and didn’t force anyone to attend. She made a TV series and didn’t force anyone to watch it. In fact, she didn’t know if any of those ventures would be successful. Now, if she had gone out and done product endorsements, then criticism of her actions might have had some merit.
