I understand. But I've heard nothing to would indicate the problems that caused her to resign would not become even larger were she to become President. Instead of being dogged by silly ethics charges as governor of one state, those charges would be multiplied if she were to become President.
Aside from the fact of a modest, partly blue collar family being wiped out financially, and the cost to the state in having it’s Governor in a constant battle of mock scandals while trying to continue battling against the Alaskan left, the national American left was counting on Palin being trapped and finished off for good in those remaining 18 months.
As the leading conservative in America, and the most relentlessly attacked and smeared politician that we have ever seen in the United States, Governor Palin would have been finished if she had merely returned to the Governor’s chair in the distant land of Alaska, and she would have taken the conservative gains of the last 17 months with her.
No one could fight her fight with the Networks, the DNC, the Sunday shows, the Romney/Rockefeller GOP, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, and the power centers of DC, New York, LA, and also lead the the conservative comeback and decimate the Democrat ranks as she is doing with her 20 Democrat Congressional take down, while being a Governor in Hawaii, or Alaska.
