This is wonderful news though it doesn't pass the smell test. Let's just hope she didn't quit because she was going to be indited for embezzlement or some such.
Class clowns don't belong on the big stage. One clown down, Jindel and Sanford to go.

I sincerely hope this buffoon doesn't have any aspirations to higher office. Best she can hope for is some kind of right wing media deal, where she can become sycophant to Rush Limbaugh, a la Sean Hannity.

Apparently it might be because of presidential aspirations. Why Sarah Palin Quit - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090704/us_time/08599190866900)
I laughed at the idea at first, but then again, she'll likely do better than Obama. His inexperience has clearly shown through. Not sure one inexperienced unacheiving candidate deserves another though.

First off like her or not its a sad day when a person in or running for office has her family attacked over and over again. People wonder why a normal person would ever run for office. If this is truly because of the on going attacks on her family then she did what was right for them. It strikes me how the left seems to take the low road of personal attacks because they disagree with someones politics. Its like they cannot when the battle on ideas.

Palin Links Resignation to 'Higher Calling' - Political News - FOXNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/04/palin-links-resignation-higher-calling/)
(about halfway thru the article).
Her $ 500K in legal bills probably has a great deal to do with it too. She'll hit the speech and conservative talk circuit, clear them out and then explore a POTUS run in 2012. A Romney/Palin ticket could be a problem for the Dems if the economy doesn't turn and the Obama policies become a drag on the economy too.

No chance she'll run for or even win that Senate seat now. She's done with Alaskan politics all together I would say. Besides, there's a lot of bad blood between Palin and the current senator, Lisa Murkowski.
Palin will be a plus and negative for the GOP until 2012. The good thing is she'll continue to command all the media attention. The bad thing is she'll continue to command all the media attention.
