No, Not Different Standards, Sorry. You’ve Got to Find a New Whine.
A guy named Anon2008 (I’m guessing that that is not his real name) has a post over at Daily Kos detailing the 33 governors who have resigned over the last fifty years to refute Sarah Palin’s claim that “countless” governors have resigned for reasons just like hers and that she is being held to different standards. Anon2008 had trouble finding a governor that resigned for the odd reasons that Palin gave.
Palin should also know that resignation, even for higher office, has not usually given one immunity from criticism. You need look no further than the bitterness expressed towards Janet Napolitano by some for leaving us to the tender mercies of Brewer, Adams and Pearce, or some long time politicos who still complain about Raúl Castro’s resignation over thirty years ago.
Of course, no matter what “standards” are applied to Palin, she’ll make herself out to be a victim here. It’s gotten her this far, why not?

It will get her all the way 35% of the vote.
