I think any former governor's sudden resignation followed by an indictment would be a big news story in and of itself; add the frisson of anything about Palin turns it into a major thing.
It's funny in that the announcement of her candidacy took place on the Friday of a holiday weekend, and now the announcement of her resignation took place on the Friday of a holiday weekend.
