While I wasn't a fan of Sarah Palin or her stand on many views, I don't think it's fair to blame her for her daughter's pregnancy. Plenty of women who believe in birth control education end up with daughters who are pregnant.

The reality (right or wrong .. wrong in my opinion) is that every candidate and their family members are under a microscope once they are running for a major office. You have to be pretty tough to endure that. If that's the reason for her resignation, then she definitely doesn't have a thick enough skin to be in politics.

In many ways, I feel the Republican party did this to her. She wasn't ready to run for an office like Vice President and wasn't familiar with what it really takes to make that run successfully. We'll probably never know why they selected someone who wasn't truly ready.

I still stick with the idea that the GOP wanted to one up the Dems by bringing in an outsider who was a woman.

I think you are right about her having thin skin.
