Now the question is was it for personal or political reasons?
If this turns out to be what it so far appears; a resignation which leaves a huge question mark on her political career, can you blame her? This lady has been through some very tough and extremely unfair media attention and treatment. There are already remarks being made that she just couldn’t handle the pressure. What Palin and her family have experienced and had to endure goes way beyond “pressure” in the ordinary sense. They have been subject to brutal attacks and a lynch mob like campaign where nothing was sacred, not even her infant son, Trig.
Palin is a perfect example of the state of our politics and the denigration and criminalization of opposing views. Sarah Palin was hated because she forced liberals and progressives to face their hypocrisies and shallowness. She was a woman. A powerful woman that accomplished much in a short time. But, she was the wrong kind of woman. The left made that perfectly clear. It is not so much about women as it is about the right kind. Like HRC. Therefore, she was a threat. An opposing image of a “strong, independent and successful woman.”
If she drops out of politics forever, I wouldn’t think any less of her. It is criminal what she and her family have been through since August of last year.

Agreed, Jason. The left attacked her because she represents a huge threat to them.
I don’t see Palin running in 2012 or getting back into politics in any way. Until we hear otherwise, I take her at her word as to why she resigned. She’s never been anything but honest and we have no reason to doubt her now.
The way the left went after her went beyond all boundaries of decency, and I haven’t seen anything like it since what they did to Robert Bork.
God bless her, she’s quite a woman and someone we’ll never forget.

I sympathize with Palin for the attacks on her and her family, but on the other hand, if she’s not tough enough to serve out her term how could she have been Vice President? I don’t blame her if she’s sick of it, but when you get elected to a position you should serve out your term. I do hope she does not plan to run for federal office after having resigned. I think a lot of people would lose respect for her at that point.
