$$$ - She’ll earn far more if she doesn’t run ...

Is that the kind of thinking that led her to quit the $120,000-plus position of Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission to which then-governor Murkowski appointed her? It was, if I remember correctly, the first job she'd ever had that paid so well; she quit in disgust because of all the corruption she saw there, and was prohibited by law to talk publicly about the specifics of that corruption. It ended up inspiring her to take on Murkowski and win the governorship to clean things up.

She could have earned far more, and her financial life would have been a lot easier, if she'd just "gone with the flow" like a dead fish. Heck, if she'd played ball with Murkowski, who knows how much money she'd be making now?

Her past actions indicate she's guided by something other than taking the path of the most $$$.

She should already be set economically for life.

It all comes down to fire in the belly to lead the country.

If she doesn’t have it, she doesn’t have it.

If that’s the case, its time for us to move on.

Your replies leave me feeling all shackle-y’d.
