I'm still wondering what she's going to do. And this is purely emotional: I hope it's just to retire to private life because that salvages the most of what I liked about her.
I know it's really bizarre to feel any personal investment in her, but as screwed up as the campaign was, I believed her to be a fundamentally competent person. I had little problem with her political record, such as it was.
I don't know that she was ready to be VP or maybe more importantly run for VP, but we've got Biden; we had Quayle; that bar isn't real high.
If she really resigned because she's going to run for President even though she didn't even complete one term as governor or because she imagines she's going to be this important conservative voice, it's hard not to see my assessment of her basic decency and competence as horribly flaw. And it makes me sad
to have been so mistaken.
