Alaska governor Sarah Palin, former Republican vice-presidential candidate, said today she is resigning from office at the end of the month, raising speculation that she would focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race.
My speculation, on the other hand, is that a humongous scandal is about to break and that she'll be spending months if not years in courtrooms and committee rooms.
I hope you're right!

That was my first guess, then I thought about how a few things have gone lately.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye out to see if the Republican senator from Alaska, Murkowski, has a scandal instead. Maybe Blagojevich made me suspicious, but the other thing that could happen is that she's resigning so she could be appointed to a Senate seat.
Food for thought. See: Ford, Gerald R.
It is all very strange.
