Did you have a problem when Obama quit being a Senator to run for
President? I mean, just because he didn't make an honest announcement,
doesn't mean he kept the job..

Hey, I don't have a problem with Palin stepping down, but then, I'm not
an Alaskan, nor did I vote for her. We did have a Governor step down
recently, McGreevey, and while the circumstances were different, I
wouldn't expect him to be able to win a race for local dogcatcher. There
is an issue of public trust. McGreevey broke it, and Palin? It's for
the public to decide, but I would say she did.

She's not running for another office, she's running away from a
contract she signed with the state of Alaska to do a job until it was
finished.

She's a quitter in addition to being an incompetent ignoramus.

I imagine she was simply driven from office by frivolous law suits and
unfounded charges. I hear she is a half million in debt from the legal
bills.

Maybe she shouldn't have put herself in that position. Taking per
diems for living at home? Putting your kid's travel expenses on the
state? Pressuring the head of the state police to fire a relative
who'd already answered to charges and been disciplined?

She brought these things on herself.

I enjoyed reading how she billed the state for expenses...that was
classy, eh?

When you compare those things to what most politicians are doing, it
is really chump change.

Oh, she's a paragon of virtuosity. Do you expect it's okay for these
guy and gals to play dirty? I don't. They make good salaries for
what they do and if they don't think they're compensated enough, they
should bring it up with the governing body or not accept the position.

She ended up spending a whole lot less than
virtually any other governor in the country for her living expenses.

How in the world have you come to that conclusion? Is the Rand
Corporation now tracking living expenses/governor?

Most governors don't charge per diems and mileage because they have 2
or 3 state troopers chauffeuring them around in state limos and they
live in the mansion eating government food. When they travel they stay
in a suite in a 4 star hotel on the government dime.

Are they following the rules? If so, bully. She didn't follow the
rules. Are we a nation of laws only for the common pleeb?

My thought was that if this is all the "corruption" they can come up
with given all the effort they spent digging, she was really pretty
honest.

Apart from trying to get her former brother in law fired for what had
already been addressed and closed.

Competent and smart may be an issue we could talk about. I did not
vote for McCain/Palin, but I couldn't vote for Obama either. Flip
Flopping on the war and the other things that he started out opposing
killed him for me.

She's undereducated for her chosen profession. Apart from being
telegenic, she's neither bright nor studied and she wears thin in a NY
minute.

It was a stupid gamble on the part of the Republicans and she'd helped
to set them on a faster downward spiral than they were on pre-Palin.

Good, like a junkie, the R's aparently need to hit bottom before they
pick themselves up and decide to be productive members of society.

One of the reasons Palin was picked was the hope McCain and his advisors
had that her selection would attract some of the women who were
disappointed that Hillary Clinton was not on the Democratic ticket.

That reason alone demonstrates how little understanding the Republicans
have of educated, smart women.
