I Honestly Don't Know Why

Governor Sarah Palin is resigning from her office effective July 26. Rumor has it she will be focusing on a 2012 run for the GOP presidential nomination, despite the fact she has been (often unfairly) ridiculed and treated with utter filth and sexism.


I would think she would just concentrate on her current job and her family and not go through the wringer again.

She says here being a "lame duck" simply didn't appeal to her as she had said she wasn't going to run for re-election:

"Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional 'Lame Duck' status in this particular climate would just be another dose of 'politics as usual,' something I campaigned against and will always oppose. It is my duty to always protect our great state. With that in mind, my family and I determined that it is best to make a difference this summer, and I am willing to change things, so that this administration, with its positive agenda, its accomplishments, and its successful road to an incredible future, can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success."
