It is really quite stunning. While I don't like her politically, I hope this isn't some serious situation with her personal life, health, family, etc. I think if this was a poloitical move, she would have had a more detailed explanation.

She's facing major ethics complaints and I wouldn't be surprised if a indictment is coming down the road for her.

By far my favorite Gov **** up has to be Sanford. What a major joke that guy is the GOP is in horrendous shape almost every person that's been mentioned for a possible 2012 run has been involved in some kind of scandal.

I wasnt following Palin's indictment - you are probably right. They have something serious on her.
Sanford should also resign. The guy is emotional unfit to be Gov.

It isn't just the Republicans. Some of the Democrats can be just as bad...like former Gov Blagojevich of Illinois. I think we are getting a resounding purification in U.S. politics and the weak or corrupt ones are getting thrown out. As a nation, we will be stronger for it.

It's not solely the Republicans; that's for sure. But it certainly seems to be about a 5 to 1 Republican to Democratic scandal ratio.

Let's not forget our local Governors who resigned due to scandal - Elliot Spitzer - NY - Dem.; and James McGreevey- NJ - Dem; John Rowland - CT -Republican.
Good-bye and good ridance to them all.

Republicans who ride the platform of "family" values yet don't apply it, then try to use the Palin girl as "a flawed person just like the average person" is bull. I don't want my leaders to be lower educated piece of trash who are almost considered electable cuz a slice of the popuation wants to tap her!!!! This is a women who has abused her power in a lame attempt to cover her incompetance when her newscaster patina fails to win her over. Alaska made a mistake. It knows it and is trying to correct it. She and her family are opportunistic trash. Not Presidential material. The road to know where leads to her empty mimd!!!!!

Time to bury this girl.

I along with millions of americans challange the republican party to be better! One day Democrats will not have their way and the ball will bounce again their way. We need better. If not the Democratic party will also lack.

Nobody wins!

Nalod,

You make an excellent point when promoting yourself as the Party of Morality and Family Values bit hypocritical when you have rampant scandals throughout your Party. Their whole platform of Family Values has been used against legislation for the Woman's Reproductive Rights, Gay Marriage, Sex Education, etc.

Markji,

The hypocrisy is what's at issue with the Republican Party because let's not kid ourselves people on powerful positions men and women have probably at one time or another done some shady things. But don't prop yourself up as Mrs. or Mr. Family Values.
