One reason not to get worked up over this.
As a senator, Obama ran for President (as did Clinton, Biden and McCain. Palin hadn't been governor long, but spent nearly a year running for VP) that is normal. But 6 months after losing the presidential election Palin decides to quit just over half-way through her gubernatorial duties...and this is after she spent almost half the time after she was elected running for VP.

So she is quitting now to run for president? That would be fine if she announced that like McCain, Obama, Biden, and Obama did when they stepped away from their duties.

But Palin didn't announce that.
