IF SARAH Palin’s decision to step down as governor of Alaska is a move to potentially benefit a future run for president, then consider the major logical contradiction she has just created for her resume. In 2008, she was billed as the only candidate on either ticket with so-called executive experience, something seen as a benefit to a presidential resume. One must assume that more executive experience would mean more of a benefit to such a resume. Why would she cut short the only good thing she has going for her future candidacy?
