She left because of all the ethics charges against her that she had to fight. She could not handle being governor and fighting those ethic charges. Yet I seen Democrats fighting more ethic charges than her yet they still stayed at their jobs.
Alaska law on ethics charges is far different from any other state. The problem she had was that during and after the election she was inundated with ethics charges by people from outside of Alaska and, under the law, she was obligated to answer each charge. When she resigned she noted that she was doing so because to do elsewise meant spending every day answering ethics charges. Ironically, she's the person who sponsored the law that requires all ethincs charges to be answered. No one ever expected it would be abused as it was.
Do note that each and every one of those charges has now been dismissed for lack of evidence.
She was targeted by activists and hounded out of her job.
