governor sarah palin

Since I was out last week, I didn’t get a chance to weigh-in on the political hot-button story of the week (month?): Governor Sarah Palin’s seemingly inexplicable resignation from office.

Whilst sitting on the sand, soaking up the sun and sipping my Sam Adam’s Summer Ale (how’s that for some alliteration for you?), I had plenty of time to absorb this story and contemplate possible reasons for Ms.

Palin to do this, as well as the inevitable outcomes of this decision.

In a surprise move, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has announced she is resigning, effective July 26th.

She claims that because she is not running for re-election, she doesn’t want to be a lame duck and subject herself to politics as usual.
