Reagan would never have ever resigned being Governor. What? Reagan ran for president one year after he became governor. If he won the presidency, he would have of course resigned. And he should have resigned anyway while preparing and then running for president, instead of collecting a tax payers pay check while running for a higher office.

The CONTEXT was under pressure from frivolous lawsuits.

Reagan would never have resigned because Democrats were trying to force him out.

And again, the question was raised, how many Governors who have resigned have run for President, not Governors who ran for President and would have resigned had they won.

You are missing the point. It is more ethical to resign when preparing a run and running for higher office than it is to stay in office collecting a tax payers paycheck while preparing for a run.

Sarah resigning to prepare for a presidential run, is the more ethical approach. And I would add, the frivilous ethical complaints in Alaska would have become more valid had Sarah prepared for a run while staying on as governor.

You see?
