What a surprise! Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, has recently made an announcement to resign as a governor. The resignation caught Americans off guard and sparkled new debate among the critics on Palin's resignation.
Here are some of reasons for Sarah Palin's resignation:
- To Avoid Becoming As A Lame-Duck Governor - Sarah Palin's approval rate and image as a strong governor has been severely damaged during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Now, there are many critics stating that Sarah Palin diminished the chance for John McCain to win the Election. Hence, because of poor public image, Palin found herself difficult to govern the state.
- To Protect Her Family - Again, Palin's downfall in campaign became media's theme for a political satire. Unfortunately for Sarah Palin, her unmarried daughter became pregnant. The incident also turned into embarrassment, and turned into a topic for a satire. Recently, Letterman accidentally made a joke on Palin's younger daughter, assuming that it was the pregnant one. Palin has national attention to the point where her family itself is becoming a topic for a satire.
- Preparing for 2012 Presidential Election - Palin never stated that she wouldn't run for the presidential campaign for 2012. Back in the day, Ronald Reagan disappeared from public appearance for a while to travel around the country to learn more about diversity of culture and issue. The travel ultimately helped Reagan to win the election because he had personal ties with many counties. Hence, there is a suspicion that Palin is conducting the same strategy.
I can hear Palin saying, "I'll be back"
