anything is possible, but if giving up in the face of adversity is to be considered maverick-like in the coming years, we as a nation are completely fucked.
when the going gets tough, the tough quit? maybe in bizarro world...
let's face it. she quit on a national holiday and she scheduled the press conference so fast that many of the media reps who were invited couldn't even get there in time. my money is on someone having some real dirt on her and using it as leverage to push her out. and it's probably someone in her own party.
