I guess the kitchen got to hot for her.

Alaska is going to hell in a handbasket, her approval rating is tanking and she's running away so she can play the blame game with her successor.

Oh yeah that inspires confidence...what's she going to do? Leave the White House when it gets too hot?

Martyrdom? Joan of Arc Syndrome? More Emails exposing problems with Governing?

No transition team? Maybe she wants to take time off to hike the Appalacian Trail...

Children with Down often have complications with their hearts and digestive tracks. She could be taking time out to tend him while he has heart surgery.

Personally, I think it is because she realized that she is becoming strident and shrill, jumping at 'shadows' and making herself look like a jerk. The stress is getting to her and her family and she wants out of the lamplight. Plus, now that she is a 'national' figure, investigations about costing the state millions. She might mean it when she says she doesn't want to cost the state those much needed dollars. If she stayed in office but declared herself off the electoral radar for future offices, the investigations would continue anyway. This way, they will probably stop because there is no political hay to be made when the horse has returned to the barn.

Doesn't really matter "How Come."
She's gone (or will be). That's all I need.

I'm sitting here watching the Palin press conference and strangely feeling sad for her. It was like watching Humphrey Bogart in the court martial scene of the Cain Mutiny movie. who ever writes her speeches should be fired.

Interesting discussions on this in "Freedom of Speech" and "Politics for Any and All."

You're right, charles1950.

Her press conference was unsettling.
She clearly was not prepared.
She was unsure, her explanations muddled.
Apparently she didn't discuss this decision with too many people.
NPR is reporting that even the Lt. Gov. was caught completely by surprise.

Wonder wants next.

PUH LEEZE don't tell me she's had an affair ?!?!?!?

It just does not make sense to me. Things have to make sense to me in order for me to grasp it... there is something that just is not right here.

She's up to something or somethings about to happen as in "the shit hitting the fan"?
