They were praising each other as recently as July:

YouTube - Palin on Ted Stevens: 'I have great respect for him'

She had “great respect for the senator. He needs to be heard across America. His voice, his experience, his passion, needs to be heard across America.”

Will she now throw him under the bus (conservatives seem to like that notion with Obama associations)....will she publicly suggest he should resign his Senate seat immediately and not run for reelection?

I think she might rather talk about clothes.
Where do you draw the line on the relevance of"associations"?

Many people had "great respect for the senator" before they knew of his illegal activity. I think it proper for the Senator make his intentions clear before others start calling for his resignation, etc.
