I don't necessarily agree with the whole "she's a quitter" argument. I mean, unless it's a particularly frowned-upon thing in American politics.
People resign from their jobs/careers all the time to pursue other interests, and in many cases the "other interests" are more ambitious, noble, or both. Is it that far-fetched for her to resign from a political position in...well...way up in Alaska to pursue other avenues to a national office?
She's still popular with the GOP. Do you think she's just throwing this away? I think she could serve the party in a number of ways.
