Sarah Palin Resigned as Governor

I presume if she has resigned as governor, this means she's stepping out of politics entirely. If she's seeking higher office, then she should have remained in office to get more experience.

The job of governor is to run the state government as outlined by the legislature. This is important work, and one doesn't become perfect at it after just a few years. If nothing else, Palin is a charismatic governor who could have helped to draw more business into Alaska, further expanding the standard of living of everyone living there.

Her decision to resign will always leave all of us wonder what she's running from. People resign from public office for one of these reasons:

-The results of a scandal
-To take another job
-Because they are tired

In this case, it's not number 2. And the other reasons are big "don't vote for her again" flags.

But Palin has confirmed -- again -- how out of touch the Republican Party is. This is the woman the party wanted in the #2 position for our entire country. And with McCain's age, a person very well placed to become the leader of the free world.

But she can't even last an entire first term as governor.
