When did Palin quit her job?

[Writer]

Can anyone remember when she ditched her responsibilities as Alaska governor?

1. I think it was the end of July 2009

2. I think it was last July.

For some reason I have a memory that's when it was.

3. She announced July 3, 2009 and quit July 26

Ostensibly, she wanted to spend more time with her family. That notion was vetoed, however, and she has been social climbing with both hands ever since.

4. Hate to point it out, but Google does work well for that kind of question. n/t

7. but the answers are muddy, to say the least

& i read her speech when she quit.

near as i can figure, she felt she was spending all her time fighting ethics investigations instead of governing, so she said fuck it, i'll quit and make cash. which she has proceeded to do - Fox News, speaking engagements.

now, what was the REAL reason? maybe Todd and the kids were miserable. maybe she was truly bored with the job. maybe she was paranoid and thought everyone in alaska hated her.

5. She gave her annoucement EXACTLY at the moment my plane landed in Anchorage...

...July 3, 2009...I kid you not...get off the plane and the tv's at the airport were showing her live announcing she was a quitter.

6. Probably the minute after she got it.

Still collected a check of course.
