Like I said it mystifies me.

Let me clarify.

My understanding is that the reason Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska was because of the number of frivolous lawsuits filed against her. She resigned because she didn't want public money used to defend her. (She was also taking a big hit personally, but I don't think that would be much of an issue for a sitting Prez.)

At any rate, the left hates Sarah so much that there would be even more frivolous lawsuits filed. If she was concerned about spending money of the taxpayers in Alaska on these suits, I'm sure she'd be equally concerned about the U.S. taxpayers spending money on lawsuits.

That's my only reason for thinking she probably should not run.

Sarah's decision to step down was a multi-faceted decision.

Who's to say that if one or more of the factors were not present she would have decided to stay and fight.

At any rate, the flaws in the Alaska legal system that allowed the unending frivolous lawsuits, don't exist at the federal level.

She would not be required to pay for her defense herself as the Alaska Law forced her to do.

Furthermore, I believe, from some other postings on FreeRepublic, that the ability to sue the sitting President of the US is either radically limited or impossible.

She's going to run, and She's going to win, hands down.
