Sarah palin has been consistant in her positions regarding using "the people's money" and there is no reason she should change. It isn't in her nature. The attacks on her have been very costly for the state and for her personally. It's to her credit that she stayed in elected office this long. I wish her and her family the best.

She probably had a good reason to do so, we have no idea why she did so. I live in Alaska and we know she won't give up and in order for this to have happened it must have been important. In case you did not know she was facing 500,000 dollars in legal fees to fight false ethics complaints. She also was being attacked by the media and even her family was targeted.

Spiro Agnew left while VP and no one as far as I know cared.
