The simple fact is that Palin felt she didn't have the time to be Governor while working seriously on her career in national politics.
And no, that's not just my opinion. . .

Palin's resignation announcement caught Republicans and Democrats alike by surprise, but it also suggested she had her eyes on another presidential run. She alluded to how she could help change the country and help military members — code that she didn't think her time on the national stage was over.

What Palin
should've done is offer a decent excuse for quitting the Governorship, i. e. "my daughter Bristol needs me."
Nevertheless, Palin is clearly a despicable woman.
As Governor, she had a duty to serve her state, and she quit that for no good reason
except to advance her political career. Palin is a lot like Hillary Clinton; she got into politics not to make any real change but solely to hold the prestige of becoming the
first female President.
