Palin dropped out for right reasons
Sarah Palin's decision was for all the right reasons: regard for the people of Alaska, not expecting them to have a governor who must give her attention to her troubles and neglect their needs. To saddle them with expenses forced upon her. To release, if she can, her family from demeaning challenges.
This is not "giving up" but facing reality and favoring others despite damage to her aspirations. It is refreshing to see simple and sincere regard for others, even at personal expense. Not many politicians like this today.
She deserves respect and continued support by those who wish America to be returned to its core values. Go, Sarah.
