I'm sure there's a story behind the scenes waiting to come out
Sarah Palin has announced that she will step down as of July 26. I have to admit that the salacious part of my mind wants to know who she's been having an affair with. (These governors seem to be a swinging lot: McGreevey, Spitzer, Sanford...) Another part of my mind is happy because she really just seems so moronic. The last part of my mind hopes that she's not doing this to set herself up for a run for the presidency in 2012. I am not a Sarah Palin fan by any stretch of the imagination. But I am even less impressed by someone who would leave such an important job in the lurch, so to speak. It doesn't speak well for her character, tenacity, loyalty, or integrity. Why would I want to someone to be President who walks away, midway through a single term as governor, without having really done anything, perhaps in order to set up a national political team?

My favorite comment along those lines has been from John Proffitt (I know him, I think Jeri does too)
Palin announces plans to hike Appalachian Trail; Argentina tightens border security
I am so on the same wavelength with you on this. "I hate politics. Politics sucks. I quit." Yeah, Sarah, you'd make a hell of a president.
It is perplexing. She's a very odd woman and who knows what's next. Could we arrange for media ostracism though?
My suspicion is that something is/was about to hit. Joan Walsh at Salon was quoting a pundit who said this was the first step to 2012 and an unnamed Alaskan Republican insider who was saying Palin was finished, leaving it up to the reader to decide who to believe. All things considered, I really have to think she's resigning because she was forced to or was about to be.
I just wouldn't want a quitter as president, regardless of the rest of the baggage.
