I've never heard of a governor resigning more than 2 years in advance of an election, to git ready fer it. Definitely a story behind this story.

Interesting that this announcement arrived today, just after the publication of the Vanity Fair article. Interesting also that it arrived on Friday, the place in the news cycle that usually is reserved for stuff politicians want downplayed.
