Here is my take on it. I copied a portion of a post of mine from another site and offer it here.
“There are other potential GOP candidates who are Governors, why haven’t they been attacked as Palin has been?
They are not threats to the One. If Palin had been left alone, as normal post-election habit would have it, then Palin would have no reason to resign now and could truly be called a quitter today. But, her case is unique. She hasn’t been treated normally. That is why her response is not normal. That is why she is compelled to leave office. Normally, this would not be done. After you lose a national race you return to a local office, lick your wounds, do your job, and wait for the cycle to return.
That was made impossible for her. She saw that. Her enemies wanted her to stay in office, to be worn down to nothing by the time the cycle began again. She jumped.
Now they are fashioning a response. She has the board now. “
