The Jewish angle on the Palin resignation
If you were wondering whether there was a Jewish angle to the resignation of Sarah Palin, don't worry -- I've found it! The former VP nominee's departure has led Jewish Democrat Ethan Berkowitz to say he is "seriously considering a run" for governor next year. According to Radio Kenai in Alaska:
In his statement, Berkowitz stated that he was not alone in questioning whether Sean Parnell could provide strong leadership for Alaska. Berkowitz said he is talking it over with his family and community leaders across Alaska before taking the next step in the race for Governor.
Berkowitz was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor back in 2006 and unsuccessfully ran for Alaska's U.S. House seat in 2008, losing to longtime but scandal-scarred Republican incumbent Don Young 50-45 percent.

With Palin’s resignation as Governor of Alaska, the feeding frenzy is on of news organizations clamoring to be the first to announce all the details. After all, if one quits their job they either couldn’t handle the pressure or were up to no good, right?
