The Biggest Quitter

So the former almost-VP/future almost-Prez/possible 2010 Senator/ (and most importantly) Governor of Alaska Ms Sarah Palin just quit the latter role. Her vague reasoning culminated in her blaming the media's poor coverage of herself putting too much pressure on her family. It's notable that for once though, the media have not lied. Every item about Sarah Palin has been fuelled by something she or her family has done or said or been investigated for. The fact that the adding of SP to McCain's ticket was a blatant grab for headlines by the GOP last August, when his far more charismatic, youthful and inspiring opponent was getting over 75% of the election as a wholes media coverage, wasn't discussed. The fact that her, now famously, teen mom daughter has taken it upon herself to group with stars such as Hayden Pannetiere to promote sex education (and thus grab headlines) was not discussed either. Most notably, whether Palin will run for that useful Senate seat (useful because that's where most Prez's come from) or for the top office in 2010 (she's already said she could pip Obama to the post) was absolutely not discussed. In fact most of the questions people wanted to ask SP were not discussed. With so many questions left unanswered Sarah Palin remains headline news, and with 2010 heralding the arrival of both Senate elections and the beginning of the Presidential Election campaign, the next year could be a big one for the Hockey Mom from Alaska. What'll happen to this, ahem, shy wallflower? Only time will tell....
