Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin shocked the country with her announcement to resign from office last week. Read the full remarks of her statement here.

The Wall Street Journal offered this story summing up the last few days in Palin's world and offering some speculation as to her future.

But Palin's departure does not seem to have stymied criticism as she planned, rather it seems to have open the door to more critiques of her governing style.

And conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said while he doesn't understand Palin's move she still could be in the running for the GOP presidential nominati....

Palin provided a much needed boost to the Republican ticket last fall, and was well received by Northern Michigan legislators, so what do you think of her departure?

I for one find this kind of funny. Not that she was stressed or had to deal with all the crap that she had to do. What I find funny is she ran for vice president... but could not take being a governor? I heard she was thinking about / going to run for vice president again? What does she think will happen then? The gossip will stop? Somehow I think if she runs again, the discussions about her wardrobe and kids will find their way into the publics eye once again. Privacy is not something that exists in politics.

Sarah Palin is terribly unqualified for any political position. Political leaders need to be thick-skinned, knowledgeable, and flexible. She is none of these.
