.Palin has proven to be a capable mayor, governor (eventhough heresigned prematurely, because she felt she was becoming ineffective)..
Palin did not resign because she felt she was becoming ineffective- she was buried under an avalanche of frivolous ethical complaints from a small group of vicious Alinskiites guided by an East Coast liberal lawyer. They learned that under Alaska new ethical reform anybody in the wolrd can file an ethical complaint against any politician. So, they just flooded Palin and her staff with totally meaningless ethical complaints all of which were overturned. But Palin had to pay out of pocket to deal with the leagalites and paperwork. It eventually bankropted them and paralyzed the governing abilites. she had to pay $500,000 of HER ONW money for the crap.
This tactic comes straight from the radical lefties cookbooks.
That's why they are so despicable.
