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. . .



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.
