    • fiveboyds @Newsweek How will Palin get more of that executive experience if she is a full-time candidate?  

    • potentiate @Newsweek I hope like hell Palin did this to spare her children, not so she can run for President.  

    • kohakudragon @Newsweek Wonder what type of POTUS candidate Palin will make? Say something she doesn't like, she'll get stupid, then mean, then quit.  

    • maitahwmai @Newsweek …cont) it's the right thing. We'll see what the future holds.  

    • maitahwmai @Newsweek what Palin resignation? What does it matter so long as whoever fills the position does an equal or better job. Hopefully (cont…  

    • EricRobinson123 @Newsweek i think that palin is just tired of the jokes against her and her daughter. possible burned out from all the hipe of being famous  

    • nicksermon @Newsweek well if its to get herself up to speed with world affairs for a presidential election she should probably target 2024  

    • BrianGiglia @Newsweek what is she up to? Is she going to admit to an affair with Sanford?  

    • stellargirl77 @Newsweek I hope she is doing this to be a better mother but suspect it is probably just with the intention of running for senator...  

    • NYRecessionista @Newsweek I think I'm equal parts relieved that she resigned & scared of what she's planning next. I hope her next move is into obscurity.  

    • Diane614 @Newsweek I'm thrilled...the less I have to look at her or hear about her the better :)  

    • Maxbp @Newsweek I here she resigned because she was tired of all those Russians peering at her house from their front porches.  

    • EricSaulnier @Newsweek I think Palin's exit results from either exhaustion or blind (and tactless) ambition...my bet is exhaustion.  

    • lukerockstar @Newsweek if she really thinks she's a lame duck it just goes to show why she should resign. She CAN run again. I mean, wow. Go away! Thanks  

    • desimt @Newsweek Don't trust it!  

    • AmirW15 @Newsweek resigned so she can devote time to run for President in 2012?  

    • sparkey714 @Newsweek great for Alaska !!!!!!!!!!!  

    • carlgardner @Newsweek Sarah Palin's resignation speech was incredible. No comedian could write or perform anything as bonkers. She ran for VP? Phew.  

    • Lawyeralec @Newsweek LMFAO!!!!!!  

    • ms_lbd @Newsweek Winners never quit and quitters never win? (I hope!)
