She resigned her first term governor of Alaska. That by itself is a huge dis qualifier.

In Alaska, we have a system that allows any nut-case to file ethics complaints against politicians, at no cost to the nut-case.

The accused has to pay for their own defense. Even if the complaint turns out to be frivolous, the legal bills will amount to $25,000.00, PER COMPLAINT!!

Sarah was the victim of about 25 of these complaints. That amounts to over $500,000.00. Through hard work, the Palins make a comfortable living.They, by no stretch of the imagination, were rich people. This would have bankrupted them. It was also taking so much of her time, she felt she was becoming ineffective and costing the State millions of dollars. By resigning the Governorship, she was able to write her book and using her new fame , make money making speeches.

It also freed her up to defend herself in public against her accusers.

So, if you don't like Sarah Palin, or you think someone else could do a better job, say so. But, don't go around repeating the Dem talking points by calling her a quitter.

Personally, I think it's time to get someone in there who can use common sense in running this country, someone who worries about US interests, not someone who appears to be on course to lead us into a one-world govt. We've done alright for over 200 years with our Constitution. We don't need any foriegn leaders to tell us what is good for us. Commmon sense and Patriotism, Sarah Palin fits the bill.

All the reasons you mentioned above on why she resigned are weak and totally meaningless in Politics. I have heard those silly reasons from long time. That is why I do not respond to them anymore but I am responding to you since this is the first time I have had you talking to me on this subject.

Sarah Palin talks the good stuff but she is weak and cannot stand up to her opponents in the real world except of course by fighting them in WORDS, same as Obama does. Words, words, words, talk, talk, talk, talk. We do not need talkers anymore.
