I’m not a huge Palin fan, but her resignation had nothing to do with running for president, and considering the circumstances in Alaska was a reasonable move. She decided that the amount of frivolous legal action being taken against her as governor was hampering the office’s ability to function, and she was probably right.

Notice, I’m not saying that this makes her an ideal candidate for president, and she’d make an even larger target for attacks pursuing national office, however I do think that the “quitter” label does her an injustice.
