I really am not trying to be rude, but how does she make money now that she's been dropped by Fox News? More importantly, how does she plan to stay relevant with no media platform and no political office?? I kinda see her fading away completely pretty soon.
She is trying to stay visible by using twitter and facebook. LOL!
Her state was spending millions of tax dollars defending her against the left wing nut job law suits that came flooding in, she saved the state millions of dollars by resigning.
That is the biggest lie ever. Alaska was the only state in the nation at the time that had a loophole in their law that Obama operatives found that provided a way to bombard the governors office with relentless ethics lawsuits even if they had no proof. Alaska at the time had a statute on the books that provided if a complaint was filed, the Secretary of State would have to launch a investigation. Obama operatives seized the opportunity and they came out of the woodwork filing complaints right and left. For example, one complaint filed by a democrat Obama supporter stated that Governor Palin showed up at a Iditarod race wearing a jacket with a logo patch on it. A complaint was filed saying the governor was supporting the company that was on the patch and was a violation of the governors office. It was further from the truth. Never the less a full blown investigation took place causing her and her staff to be tied up in hours of depositions and research.
In all, over 27 of these type lawsuits were filed on average of one a week and her legal bills were piling up to over 700k and climbing. Since Alaska statutes at that time didn't provide defense funds for the governor, she had to hire her own defense lawyers, pay for them out of her own pocket and she and her family were going broke and facing total bankruptcy and she was being prevented from doing her duties as governor due to countless hours of depositions. Palin returning from the VP campaign had just taken a 25k cut out of her salary of just 125k a year as Governor. She was left with two options, stay and have Alaska's state business tied up while going broke fighting the lawsuits or step down and turn over the governors office to Lt Gov. Sean Parnell to carry on her policies and fiscal reforms. She chose the latter and immediately after she stepped down, not one ethics complaint was filed again. Later.....one by one........ all ethics suits were dismissed as frivolous without merit and Alaska's state business under her policies continued without any more interruptions. Also Alaska closed the loophole and now the state will now pay for and defend governors from lawsuits like she faced. Oh and by the way, Governor Palin accomplished virtually 100% of her campaign agenda in two-thirds of the time she served. Next time tell the truth.
You give a lot of details without giving one source. How about backing up all of your assertions?
She lost the VP campaign. Why would Obama's people care less about her?
No actually I don't, the last estimate I saw was in the $12 million dollar range. Do you think the state of Alaska should have been forced to defend against numerous frivolous lawsuits from liberals who were (and still are for some reason) out to destroy Sarah Palin and her family?

Then what did palin save by resigning? Apparently, her resignation had no effect on these lawsuits that cost the state "millions."
Even a stopped clock is accurat twice a day. How come you are perpetually wrong. Those lawsuits then-filed continued on, but the unending stream of new harrasements suits stopped being filed.
