Watching her press conference today (and I think I've seen it four times thanks to the MSM), there was something off about her. She almost seemed
scared and incredibly nervous.

I honestly hope it's just me and not something terrible happening to her or her family, or a scandal about to break.
Well, there are some sources saying a scandal
IS about to break!
Did an Embezzlement Scandal Force Sarah Palin to Resign?
Sarah Palin may have quit her job today because she was trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal. The gist of the
rumor is that an Alaska building company called Spenard Building Supplies (SBS) was awarded a contract by Palin to build a hockey arena in
Wasilla, AK, and in return, SBS helped construct Palin’s home:
Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent
months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like
the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002.
And a little more from another source, ...
Did An Embezzlement Scandal Force Sarah Palin To Resign?
SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin's snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice's
Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004.
Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few "buddies," according to Barrett’s report, public
records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative
that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such suspicious
information.
Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports
Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an additional $1.3 million in legal fees and threw
it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow.
Sounds to me like a pretty good reason for her to resign!
Sarah Palin is a person who likes to be in the limelight, winning the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant and being runner up in the Miss Alaska pageant,
becoming mayor of Wasilla, governor of Alaska, and making a run for the vice president of the US!
This is somebody who likes to be center stage, the center of attention, for people to see her and to hear what she has to say.
Do you
REALLY think somebody like
Sarah Palin would,
VOLUNTARILY, for
NO reason whatsoever, step out of the
limelight!
I don't think so, unless something
VERY BAD was on the horizon for her!
Bad girl, no biscuit!
