Right. Because as a lame duck she won’t be able to accomplish anything else during her term.
By turning it over to Parnell, he can run as a sitting governor, he will have political capital to accomplish goals for Alaska, and he will likely win. This gives Palin good protection from the rear as she advances on national politics.
Consider if a Dem wins Alaska governor’s race. Endless stream of BS will come out of Alaska about Palin.
I think it’s a shrewd move on her part and I support her.
Interesting perspective.
