There are a couple strong theories behind Palin’s resignation right now. One is that she got fed up with the media attention and the other is that she is being indicted. I want to focus on the first.

Let’s go with that first reason.

If Palin thinks the media spotlight is too bright now, then what does she think would happen as President? That spotlight intensifies exponentially. Just look at President Obama. He can’t even take his wife out for a night without meeting strong criticism. So would Palin resign then?

What if things turned out differently last November. She would have been a 72 year old heart beat away from being the President. What if something happened to McCain and she was instantly thrusted into a stronger spotlight. Would she resign then because of the media intensity, leaving us with President Pelosi? That there should scare the shit out of the GOP.

There was a reason she gave yesterday that also doesn’t make sense. She is claiming its because of her “lame duck” status. Anyone buying this reason needs their heads checked. If our elected officials started to quit because of being a lame duck then we would never have leaders. They figure they should quit 18 months before their term is up. Well then after awhile people would consider their term minus 18 months being lame duck, so then what? Resign 36 months before the end of their term?

All this brings me back to the other theory – being indicted. While that is just a rumor, it is the most plausible. If not that then there is some other, bigger reason she is resigning. She just threw away her political career yesterday. Any run for President will quickly be squashed now because of her resignation. That defeat won’t even be at the hand of the Democrats. She would never get through a primary. Does Sarah Palin really think she can go against Mitt Romney now and win? Come on – she’s a quitter!

There has to be some very compelling reason for her decision, and that reason has to be either criminal or ethical. If not then the other rumor is true – she is just sick of politics and getting out. And that would bring me back to the other point. Sarah Palin would have put Nancy Pelosi that much closer to be President. Think about that one Republicans.
