Only 3 first term Governors have quit since 1900 - 2 of them due to sexual scandals - why did #3 Palin quit?

I know that some will say because of lawsuits and laws in Alaska making her responsible for any damages - she would have to pay - and the potential for her to go into debt or something.

But this is not a job a Burger King - it's the Governor of a US State in the United States of America

If that was really true - I would have fought it either legally or some way - maybe even bankruptcy

quitting, and I mean quitting - even though she got rich - I do not think that was the right thing to do.

you fight for what is right regardless of personal consequences. - just my opinion

Who cares?

Because people in the media just wouldn't let go of her, even after the election.

Because people in the media just wouldn't let go of her, even after the election.

That's why the left is insane... you losers are still obsessing over a vp choice of 3+ years ago that isn't running for any offices now.

Let it go bud and get some medication for that OCD of yours.

[matchitisiw]

You answered your own question...alaska law made her responsible for her own defense costs in court and all the suits being brought by dem activists were breaking their family and making her ability to carry on in her duties intolerable...no one should be subjected to that just to serve in a public office.

The job interfered with her book tour and all of her personal appearances and her reality show.To make along story short,greed was the reason to drop the promises to the people of Alaska.

I thought that liberal who moved next door to her then wrote in his ''book'' she had sex as a young women outside of marriage with BLACK MAN no ;less had completely discredited her

[demarco]

She's a typical Republican. They talk about values,but when you look at their lives,they don't live as though morality means much. Money talks louder to them than any moral values,which wouldn't be so bad if they were more honest about it.
