I've heard something about a seven-figure book advance? With their owning the house outright (Snowmobile Dude built it), and their kids not of the college attending ilk, they should be doing pretty well regardless of what she decides to do.

I think she should have finished her term, and I think the resignation hurts her with most. But I think she's got a base that will remain behind her as long as she's around.
You're absolutely right. There are people all over the country who will follow her wherever she goes. Maybe that will die down after a few years, but if conservatives are re-energized during the midterm elections, her popularity could increase.
