>> I havent heard it in her words yet
Her speech is here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/07/03/sarah_palin_wont_seek_second_term_will_resign_mid-term.html
I heard it. It’s very, very hard to believe a word of it, except that for all the words, there wasn’t much of a reason stated. I did hear her say TWICE, that she had given her reasons.
I think it’s a bad strategic move. Resigning mid term will unfairly give her a perception of quitter or hiding or avoiding scandal.
