I must have missed the rule about politicians taking a vow of poverty. What's wrong with earning money?

I think it's a good move for her. I hope she doesn't run for office again. I have never seen anyone get attacked like that. They attacked her whole family. (Naturally, they left the Obama kids alone.) Why would someone put their family through that again?

I think she did the right thing resigning as Govenor. We all know what a waste of time and money a lame duck session can be. She was right to step aside so that the State of Alaska didn't have to keep wasting money defending BS lawsuits against her.

Would you admire her more if she had done what Obama did? He was the Senator from Illinois for 4 years. Took the money but did pretty much nothing for the State he represented and ran for President almost the whole time. How much of Illinois' interests were really a priority for him? He was too busy raising funds to run for President than to do the job he was paid to do.
