The Never-Ending Saga of Sarah Palin

Of course she jumped at the chance to become Vice President of the United States - who wouldn't? But a serious and thoughtful politician would have thought about whether it was good for the country before diving in to the national stage, especially a one-term governor with zero foreign policy experience. Tragicomically, it was Dick Cheney that taught us how powerful and influential a Vice President can be. Americans took that lesson to heart, and quickly realized that with the septuagenarian John McCain as President, they were uncomfortable with Sarah Palin only a heartbeat away. So does Sarah Palin's resignation as Alaska Governor after only two and a half years in office surprise you? Why should anything she does surprise anybody?
