Why is she resigning?

ETA: Wait....isn't there an ethics investigation going on?
The current prediction that I've heard is that she's gearing up for a Senate run.

Well how does leaving your office in the middle of your current term put a positive spin on running for senate?

If McCain had won the presidency, then yeah, I could see that but right now she just up and quits with no explanation?

No.

I think that's lame.

She said something about "I don't want to be a lame duck politician" or whatever. I think if that's the case, she should get out of politics all-together because at some point in their careers that is what they will all end up being

Political insiders have said that she's getting out of politics altogether. Apparently, the tide turned against her in Alaska as soon as the election was over.

Was this everyone's way to push MJ out of the spotlight for a minute?

But in all seriousness I like her and hope she finds her true calling, since it doesn't appear to be politics.
