re: #582 cronus

In fairness to Gingrich, I think he did serve 11 terms in the House and was basically forced out as Speaker. Palin on the other hand…

oh, Sarah gave a reason.

“Because it’s haaaarrrd! People were saying mean things about me!” Which of course would never be a problem if she were president.

That’s the actual reason she gave, and continues to give… even though we all know she left because someone offered her a bunch of money. (I’m assuming the payoff to get a president to quit is much, much more than was needed for a small-state governor)
