@Foofie,
So it is alright to quit a position you were elected for if the state you were elected for is going nowhere?
She also has said she quit because of the drain of her legal expenses on Alaska and for the good Alaska she decided to step down. The investigations started before McCain asked her to be his running mate. Did she not love her country enough to spare the US her legal bills and the distraction created from those legal bills?
Any way you look at it all of her excuses are weak and pathetic but I am not surprised are vigorously defended.
