Are there other examples of governors or other high officials resigning for no apparent reason that haven't turned out to be linked to scandal?caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-18916330885416951372009-07-05T08:18:14.272-06:002009-07-05T08:18:14.272-06:00Sorry, my comment was over the top.

What's to trust? Her speech was internally inconsistent. Serving as governor is "the greatest honor I could imagine," a "humbling responsibility," and yet she doesn't think it's worth sticking around to do that job? What's gutsy about quitting, Gunny Day?<br /><br />Douglas, deep doo-doo seems the most logical explanation... but we should have learned by now not to expect logic from the Palin camp.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-30728784235951022302009-07-04T20:40:04.390-06:002009-07-04T20:40:04.390-06:00She's an ignorant nut.

She is in deep doo-doo.<br />2. She has a job coming up with the RNC replacing whomever is there.<br />3. She is returning to sports "journalism" and will be local color on some networks sports show.<br />4. She will be spokesperson for some line of glasses, clothes, sports equipment or hair product, etc.<br />5. She will be another vacuous face on Fox News.<br /><br />and least likely guess:<br /><br />6. She and Mark Sanford are setting up a political advertising and consultancy group ..or are eloping to Mexico.<br /><br />Take your pick.
