Palin Resigning

Apparently wants explicit permission to neglect the people of Alaska in order to seek the presidency.

My friend Emily Thorson has done research indicating that the Palin pick as VP was a political disaster without precedent in the history of politics. Conventional wisdom is that VP picks don’t matter, since there’s never been evidence that they matter, but it seems that Palin did matter and in a bad way.

Update

Nope, now she’s saying she’s out of politics for good.
