Palin's resignation is in the best interest of her family. She has the opportunity to benefit financially given her celebrity. She can also spend more quality time with her family.
Palin's resignation is in the best interest of her supporters. She can focus on raising money and building an organization. She can run for higher office or act as a power broker.
Palin's resignation is in the best interest of her political future. As a politician who in the past only focused on local and state issues, can now spend more time focusing on national and international issues.
Palins's resignation is not in the best interest of her detractors. They need her in a neat little box, a box they control. she just stepped out of the box.

If she'd just returned to Alaskan obscurity post-election, no one would talk about her, make jokes about her, or investigate her. SHE chose to keep her face on TV, so I don't see how she has much room to complain about how the media treats her.
If she thinks the critics were harsh during her VP run, she has NO IDEA what kind of shit storm she's going to face as a Presidential candidate. She seems decidedly thin-skinned, which is a pretty terrible character trait for someone who aspires to lead a nation.
But as a democrat, I hope she runs in 2012.....we may have a Reagan/Mondale-esque landslide election of historic proportions.
