Good for her. I'm sure being governor of Alaska does not pay enough to compensate for all the crap incessantly thrown her way. Now she can be a full-time activist, take full advantage of conservative capitalist recompense, and maybe even make some more direct use of her journalism degree. "Fox News contributor," anyone?  Or maybe a whole new show: "Huck and Sarah -- Two Governors for the Price of One."

I think she's smart to resign and hope she and her family are very blessed by God.

Perhaps she’s spending time with the fam before she runs for Pres in the next election...
...and it will certainly take her out of the mainstream media crosshairs in the meantime.

It seems like this would greatly hurt her chances there.

That's what many of the pundits are saying, however, she's not going to stop serving her country, she'll simply be doing so without the title of Governor.
I'd still vote for her....
This is pretty much an unprecedented move and no one knows for sure what her reasons are except perhaps those closest to her.
She may not have any desire to run for Pres at all and after the way the press has treated her and especially her family....I don't blame her even a little bit for stepping down.

Governor Palin is not going away. She has plans for what to do next to help America.
