Well, after seeing this - I fired up the cable news looking for the spin///

A couple called this a bold and calculaed gamble for a run for Prez in 2012. So, from that, only time will tell

But I will also say this - In America, nobody likes a quitter. GEN G. Patton said it best:
America loves a winner. America will not tolerate a loser.

And many equate quitting with losing.

OTOH, Patton also said
I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

SO time will tell.

Exactly. One thing conservatives don’t do is quit.

ADN article has her saying she had decided not run for reelection and so she quit so she wouldn’t be a lame duck for a year and a half. I agree with you about the perception of quitting. This is a dumb move.
