Yes, I do know why. I just wanted someone else to say it. Not only her family was under a huge financial burden but, her staff was also having to hire lowers which they couldn't afford.
And that is your opinion Others say the 300,000 in legal fees costing the State could not have been enough to make one leave as Governor. More like - You were a soon to be author of a book written in record time by a ghost writer and were paid 7 Million in advance, to do so. Guess that's where the family reaction "Hell, ya" comes in
Here is what others had to say:
Former Republican House Majority Leader Ralph Samuels, who is contemplating a run for governor in 2010. “I’ve had a million calls today from friends, all political junkies and everyone is asking the same questions. Is it national ambition, or does she want time to write the book, or is she just tired of it?
Former Senate President Lyda Green, a Republican who has clashed with Ms. Palin referred to the energy issues Ms. Palin so often promotes.
“Alaska is better off. Her legacy will be how she put the oil industry into a tail spin in Alaska,” Ms. Green said, referring to the higher taxes that oil companies have seen under the Palin administration.
State Sen. Hollis S. French, who filed a letter of intent on Wednesday to run for governor, said, “The idea that ’the going got tough so i decided to quit’ is inexcusable. That is not an Alaskan value. We celebrate the mushers who drive on through the storm despite the hardship. Absent some physical or mental infirmity, this is unacceptable. You keep going.”
She did it for the money, honey - and really - there is nothing wrong with that But naming other reasons for quitting - would simply be ingenuous.

Even stupid people that are fans of Palin know the truth about why she jumped ship...they just will never admit it.
Limbaugh - 500 million
Hannity - 40 million
Beck - 32 million
O Reilley - 23 million
Palin - 12 million
Wow is conservatism real or is it one of the best get rich quick schemes going...now if all these people could actually implement these said "values, principals, theories" that they love to talk about all day because i didn't see any of it the last 30 years.....

That is indeed what Sarah Palin's opponents have said. Would you expect anything different?
Governor Palin and Senator Green had a big fight over the 2007 Capital Budget and Lyda Green lost. Lost so badly that she dropped out of politics completely after 20 years as the President of the Senate in 2008. Sarah 1, Lyda 0.
DEMOCRAT Senator French is the biggest leftist in the Legislature and opposes ALL Republicans with equal vigor and is taken about as seriously as Obama when he speaks.
Her book deal was done prior to her resignation. She had already scheduled it to begin in 2011, after her first term would have expired. However, the weekly frivolous ethic complaints made it impossible for her to do the state's business. Something you refuse to acknowledge and no doubt encourage. As a result, she resigned her $125,000/year job with $500,000 in legal bills and advanced her book deal schedule.
Umm they didn't quit, they were promoted, one by the people of this country and one by the President. What was Palin, the quiters, excuse again?
I understand completely, it is a "promotion" when a Democrat resigns their elected position, and a "quitter" when a Republican resigns their elected position.
The hypocrisy of the partisan left couldn't be more obvious from your post. Thank you for providing the perfect example of the duplicity of the left for all to see.

With all due respect, Palin lost all my respect the day she quit. I'm a die hard conservative, but she quit. I thought she would be a fresh breath of air, not cut from the same mold as a typical politician. But she quit. You can make quotes about her legal bills, etc, but she quit.

It's a promotion when anyone quits their job to step up to an ELECTED position....that's obvious to sane people.
It's quitting when you are elected to a position and do not fulfill your oath to serve those who elected you....but quit before your commitment ends....sane people understand this.

Love seeing her poke a stick in the eye of the Lefties who hounded her out of office.""
How weak she must be to let criticism drive her out....she'd make a lousy president or VP with that lack of courage.
""She tweaks them constantly and each time, like the predictable, rabid foaming PDSers they are, she reels them in each and every time.
