Intrigue swirls around Sarah Palin's sudden resignation.  CNN and FOX go wall-to-wall Palin after days of Jackson mania.  Theories include graft scandal with family manse, quitting politics altogether, presidential boondoggle, even a TV reality show.  My first and last guess is always to follow the money.   The melodrama is vintage TR and Huey Long.  Palin is the biggest footprint in American politics (Bigfoot excluded).  Mitt Romney, call your planners and bankers.  POTUS listens closely.  What next, Sarah?  The book tour!  Jim Carlton, Wall Street Journal, will be in Alaska on Sunday 5, and we will have fun with the rumor mill.
