The reason she bailed was for the good of Alaska. She was being
hit by frivolous "ethics" charges on a weekly basis, many times

doing the Alaskan people's work.

She made the right decision in my estimation. It was an Obi Wan
Kenobi moment. "If you strike me down, I will become more
powerful than you can ever imagine".

Now she's able to do the talk shows, give speeches, do debates,
and make money doing it while honing her skills. I think in two
years (I'd like her to try in six) she'll be somewhat ready to go
against the anointed one.

I will look at the primary field before I decide who to vote for,
but if she's the choice, I will gladly wear out shoe leather and
burn up the phone lines for her.

It's a nice story. It's not the truth. But it's a nice story.

Proof by blatant assertion. I figure she'll make her case to the
electorate, and the people who think like you would never vote for
her anyway, so it's a wash.

Soo... what were the findings of that frivolous ethics investigation,
anyway? Oh wait, here it is (p.8):

Finding One

For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that
Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute
39/52/110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska
Statute 39.52.110(a) provides

The legislature reaffirms that every public officer holds office as a
public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial
interest through official action is a violation of that trust.

You're showing me some guy's report? Where's the conviction? What
jail time did she do? What fine did she pay?

I'll show you a guy who can prove Obama was born in Kenya. :P

The report was a finding of fact. Not a criminal trial. Nice try though.
