Is she or another member of her family under investigation for something? No, said the FBI in Alaska at the weekend, in an effort to extinguish all such chatter.

What else could it be? Does she think that by escaping the burdens of governorship, preparing for a 2012 White House run will be easier? Is she just an attention-seeker?

Does Mrs Palin herself know what she was doing precisely when she delivered that resignation statement on the lake-front lawn outside her Wasilla home five days ago? If not, those waiting for further clarification may have to be patient.
