Sarah Palin on Alaska job: I can’t take it anymore, reveals new public emails

[link:http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/sarah-palin-alaska-job-i-t-anymore-reveals-public-emails-article-1.1027980|

"Fed up with mounting legal bills and rattled by intense scrutiny of her family and work, Sarah Palin was ready to step down as Alaska's governor months before she left office in July 2009.

Emails released Thursday, most from the last 10 months of her time in office, show she told her husband in April, "I can't take it anymore" and complained to spokeswoman Sharon Leighow and aide Kris Perry in March that she had been the target of "many frivolous suits and charges since the DAY I became VP candidate."

"I can't afford this job," she wrote"

1. Rapidly declining voter support from Alaskans, even some in her own party.

2. A relentless ethics probe where she fired Walt Monegan (1) for not firing Mike Wooten(2). There was a special prosecutor getting a lot of dirt on Palin at the time with possible criminal charges and impeachment.

(1) the former Police Chief of Anchorage, Alaska and Public Safety Commissioner of Alaska. His dismissal in July 2008 by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin drew considerable attention, particularly after Palin's selection as the Vice-Presidential nominee for the Republican Party in August 2008. Monegan accuses Palin of not telling the truth about the reasons for his dismissal. Anchorage blogger Andrew Halcro broke the story that Monegan was fired due to his refusal to fire the governor's ex-brother-in-law

(2) (T)he Palin family campaign–in which Todd played a leading role–to have Mike Wooten fired from his state trooper job because he and Sarah’s sister, Molly, were in the midst of a bitter divorce.
