First, good riddance.
Next, I am one of the people who believes that she resigned because something is about to come to light that would have made it difficult or impossible for her to continue as governor. If she had just decided to leave politics and get back to her family life, why not take the time to prepare a good statement and go out with some style? Instead, she assembled a press conference with limited notice and gave a rambling, strange statement that was obviously not well-rehearsed. It doesn't make sense. It also does not make sense, if you have political ambitions, to give up the very visible position you already have. I'm expecting more revelations.
She actually said that staying on in her job would be quitting, and that by quitting her job she was doing what winners do. I don't know what her real reason was for quitting, but it couldn't have been that.
For any future ambitions she may have, this killed them. I just cannot imagine anyone voting for her for anything, knowing that she may not choose to complete the job. Any speculation to the contrary, that this may be shrewd move of some sort, is nonsense. Her fans won't care, because they are divorced from reality, but she won't be able to build broader support.
John McCain picked this woman to be Vice-President of the United States. What a blunder.
