If she runs, she will have to seriously explain to the people in this country why she quit and why people in the USA should trust her not to do it again.
Her reasons for resigning the governorship of Alaska aren't exactly a secret, Fred. The actual reasons for her departure from office have been discussed here ad nauseum, and they're fully laid out in her book, "Going Rogue".
People who are still unfamiliar with what really happened there, are either not reading at Free Republic, have not read her book, or they get the bulk of their information from left-wing blogs or the mainstream media.
She didn't just "up and quit". She was driven from office by leftist operatives. Please take the time to read up on the real facts of that episode. It was NOT what it may have looked like at the time.
WOW! How amazing is that!
She wrote about her resignation and the reasons for it in her book that was published 6 months prior to said resignation? How could folks not have seen that coming?
P.S. Do you get a % of book sales, or something? The answer to every question of substance seems to be "Buy her book."
So we’re ok with electing someone that was “driven out” by leftist operatives. Do we seriously think that these leftist operatives will stop? What about Middle East operatives? Russian operatives? Seems to me that if a bunch of liberal operatives drove her from the Governorship that doesn’t exactly show me she’s willing to stand up and fight back. Nor does it show me that she should be POTUS. And I do have her book, and I do like what she stands for, but that doesn’t change the fact that she quit the governorship 1+ years in, now does it?
