Yup. No one likes a quitter, and especially in sports and politics it’s bad form and bad strategy. Especially in light of the recent Letterman and Vanity Fair brewhas, it at least gives the appearance that she can’t take the heat. It’s really inexplicable why she’d resign. Not run again, OK, but to quit mid-term with no extenuating circumstances it just doesn’t sit well.

Well then, I guess ol’ George Washington was a quitter too! (Not!)He resigned his commission after the war, and went back home! Then, they practically had to twist his arms to come back into politics again!

He was getting tired of being away from home, but he did his duty as Pres. as best as he could, once he did win. He was a wonderful leader, considering that he wasn’t raised to be “king”, even if it was for just a 4 year term. He had no precedent. Once in the presidency, he apparently planned to resign, and let J. Adams take over! (that’s what I’d read once, anyway)

Of course, we all know he won, filled his term, then went on for another term. They had to twist his arms to run for that second term. He knew that politics was a cutthroat world anyway! If he had still been a young man, he would’ve relished it, he did initially! However, he was really tired and burnt out after that.
