Mark Steyn cuts to the chase - Sarah Palin's too normal to be a national politician.
When everybody's got a list of 10 or more reasons why you're resigning (Kaus might get to 50), go with the simplest one. What does she have now she didn't in 2006? Trig and a grandson.
If reports from last fall are she hated campaigning without her family, maybe her family is the reason to give up politics. Simple. Cut and dried.
Something political creatures don't understand.

Where I disagree here is
a) She's such a strongly supported competitor, nationwide.
b) She could have explicitly disavowed Presidential ambition without punting the governorship, and finished the term.
c) You didn't mention money, another Occam-level factor. She's either not got enough (likely), or got sufficient support from upstream to make this feasible (less likely).
