Sarah says she’s done: I actually held off on commenting on this because I wanted to think about it and hear a couple different perspectives on it. My initial thoughts were concerning her money troubles stemming from the ethics complaints. I also thought she might be planning a run for the Senate. Stephen Green at Vodkapundit sums his thoughts up: I can describe this move in three words: Stupid, stupid, stupid. And the reason doesn’t matter. Joy McCann says: …to the unendin
