Why Did Sarah Palin Quit?
Saturday July 4, 2009
Sarah Palin shocked the world yesterday when she announced plans to step down as Alaska governor by the end of the month. Reportedly, even her brother and fellow Alaska Republicans were caught by surprise. This unexpected news comes on the heels of a blistering article in Vanity Fair that cited anonymous Republican aides questioning her mental state.
I'm not sure what to make of the news, but I'm confident of one thing: we haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin, one of the most polarizing and prominent working moms around. Whether she's quitting to further her reputation as a maverick or to leave the media spotlight in advance of a possible scandal, I'm betting she'll take center stage again before long.
What do you think?

I read one piece of her speech in which she said she didn’t want to finish her term as a lame duck. How ridiculous!
Her resignation is just another piece of evidence that she is unfit to govern in any major capacity. What condition would our country be in if every office-holder who was not planning to run for re-election quit a year early in order to avoid being a “lame duck”? Sarah Palin is a loose cannon, and if the Republicans really want to rebuild their party, they’ll avoid her like the plague.
Perhaps a television career “Talk Show” or maybe maybe she should go into adult entertainment. I would watch both.
