First she has a family to raise, which the "State run" pundits and talking heads have denied her!
She has amazed $$millions for the State and $500+ for herself in legal fees that would have escalated vastly if she had stayed (who of us could afford that???)!!
The democRATS have a very effective oiled attack machine in place to destroy those they feel are a threat and dangerous to their power (among Lott and then Livingston, Gingrich, DeLay and now Palin, and others???) It has nothing to do with the "heat in the kitchen." Inside the beltway is a cesspool of the most evil imaginable that will make you throw up!!!
Seriously, I am not buying the $500,000 legal fees argument. Isn’t she getting $11 Million Dollars advance for her book? This argument that the family is facing massive debt and had to therefore bow out of the governorship is hogwash in light of the book advance.
I am more receptive to the other argument that she did not want her children and husband to be subjected to continued abuse, but politics is a tough biz. I thought her tougher than that.
