Palin's resignation about money?

One of the advantages of being on vacation has been the I wasn't required to offer some sort of thumbsucking bit of guesswork on Sarah Palin's resignation as g9overnor of Alaska. Somebody at the Register (probably Greenhut but I don't know) had to, but I think the best comment (commending Charlie Cook, who noted Palin can attend more events and bank more money as an ex-governor) came from The American Conservative magazine's editor, Daniel McCarthy.
