She resigned her positions on the school board, county commission, mayor, Alaska Energy Commission and as Gov. She would probably have quit as VP. If you think she is so great, why didn't the Republicans nominate her to run for Pres? I know she has a lot of foreign experience because on a clear day she can see Russia! That's verifiable experience. Palin has always been like Donald Trump in that she's only interested in one person - herself. She used that poor autistic kid as a prop to get the Teabaggers all worked up. If she's such a great person, why didn't she stay home and take care of her autistic child instead of running around the country campaigning? I watched her during the 2008 campaign and she could stand-up to Putin, the Premier of China or the presidents of some places like Afghanistan, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. She was too dumb to be VP and McCain shouldn't have picked her.
