If she really is resigning, she must not be running for president. It makes no sense. Something must have happened.
Is there an undisclosed health issue?
Wonder if Barry found some damning dirt on her. All the potential 2012 candidates for the GOP have been dropping like flies lately. Chicago thug politics at work.
She realizes the Republic is doomed, and she knows what comes next.
I’m hard pressed to come to a different conclusion that you on this.
If there isn’t a second shoe to drop on this, she’s taking advice from a very unreliable source.
Wow. A year and a half left in her term. This is not done to further one’s political career. Awful news for 4th July. Although, if done for the sake of her family, definitely good.
It's completely unconventional to resign office when one is running for a different office, and hasn't time to tend to the job elected to. See absentee Senators, for example.
So, agreed it is unconventional, and as such will send up all sorts of concern. But at the same time, I think one can cast the resignation as a principled move, if her heart isn't into being AK governor, but instead other elected office, perhaps the better move for the public is for her to admit it and get on with it.
Maybe she’ll pull a Hillary.
I agree. No way will she now run for president. Something happened.
