Word is Palin's out. It's not a big surprise, although going beyond her own deadline and then announcing on Mark Levin's show I find curious. Going beyond her self-imposed deadline makes me think she was really considering it up to the last minute. As for Mark Levin's show - why not Fox, why not on Rush Limbaugh's show. Why not before the evening news cycle? It's like a back door exit. Not running may not have helped her credibility but to minimize that, she could have gone out Christie style - being forthright, upfront and facing the music.
