… So, you’re the governor of a state and out of nowhere, you abruptly resign on the Friday afternoon before Independence Day with nobody getting advance warning, not even your own party’s gubernatorial association.
Nothing suspicious or odd about that. Nope. Nothing at all.
Update: Just to expound on my thinking, she didn’t offer any details, and this was announced at the perfect time to bury a major news story: on the Friday before a federal holiday. If she was trying to stir up news and 2012 speculation, she should have waited three days and done it next Tuesday. No, everything here is indicative of either A) her trying to bury the news of her resignation, or B) her throwing this together very hastily. Probably both.
