She may have something good to do next. But, the burden is now on her because on the face of it, this appears to be a bonehead move. (And, I'm a Sarah fan.) I think the part that is escaping you Tech, is she did this not for herself but for her children. she no longer wants them subjected to the pure unadulterated nastiness the left dishes out. If she stays out of politics, I guess you would be right. From the hints that I've read she dropped, the indications appear to be opposite that. I'm content to wait and see.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -- C.S.
