Can't...look...away.....

Palin is clearly not setting up a run at the presidency; otherwise she would have simply not sought re-election. As it stands, she now has the mark of someone who couldn't manage to finish one term as a governor.

It's more likely that she's become bored with the day-to-day minutiae of governing the Alaskan wasteland and can't wait to become a full-time member of the right-wing media circuit which she has been essentially since the end of the campaign. If the ink isn't already dry on the Fox News contract, I'd be surprised.
