Think before you start spouting nonsense like that! It is absolute truth. And, yes, I am an Independent.
She made a commitment to the people of Alaska. If she didn't want to run for re-election, OK, that is her prerogative. I think she could have used the experience of a second term to strengthen her credentials.
But to quit before her first term is even finished simply gives her critics and detractors all the ammunition they could want.
It now allows them to label her a "quitter".

I believe the people of Alaska, having seen the carp thrown at her since Aug. 29th, in the form of the unending ethics complaints, will understand completely. She said it in her speech. She and her staff are spending inordinate amounts of time, and the State is paying for that time, in fighting that silliness. Just saying she's not running for re-election wouldn't stop that, in fact, they'd come at her even more, knowing that it's likely she'll run for President, and wanting to poison the water as much as possible.
She is doing JUST the right thing.

Non conservatives don’t need reasons to attack Sarah Palin; they make them up!
I’m for her 100% and donate money to her PAC.
She has integrity and is accountable, that’s something east coast non conservatives can not understand.
She is a breath of fresh air!!
