"So what's next on her agenda? A "tasteful" layout in Playboy, perhaps?"
This is precisely the kind of comments that in part can be attributed to her bailing out. I personally would have preferred her sticking out for another year and a half in the gubernatorial chair.
But I can also sympathize with her decision because of constant frivolous, partisan attacks. Don't forget $500K she is already in the hole for - just to defend herself. These are no Kennedys or Rockfellers (both US Senators) that have substantial financial resources. Whatever else you may think of Sara Pailin, her family is what we call "plain folk".
