Bye Bye, Sarah -

I can't imagine what she's thinking. It looks bad for a sitting governor to leave their term early; that won't be good for a run in 2012. I'm wondering if there is some other news fixing to come down the pike.

I think we have a winner.

Alaska bloggers have reported in recent weeks that “a long simmering embezzelment/IRS scandal is still being looked at by the feds.” In her press conference today, Palin asked the public to “trust me with this decision and know that it is no more politics as usual.” But she also bemoaned “political operatives” who have “descended on Alaska” to investigate “all sorts of frivolous ethics violations.” Palin said this “politics of personal destruction” was one of the key motivating factors behind her decision today.
