Sarah Palin says she's not a quitter, she's a fighter, but adds that, politically speaking, “if I die, I die. So be it.” The Alaska governor spoke in taped interviews on ABC, NBC and CNN broadcast Tuesday morning. She told CNN that “all options are on the table” for her future. But told ABC's “Good Morning America” that she recognizes she might not have political staying power after her surprise resignation Friday, which came just as she had been expected to elevate her national profile ahead of a possible 2012 Republican presidential run. “I said before ... ‘You know, politically speaking, if I die, I die. So be it,”' she said. Speaking in fishing waders from the town of Dillingham, Palin said her administration has been paralyzed by fending off frivolous lawsuits. “I'm not going to take the comfortable path. I'm going to take the right path for the state,” she said of her resignation, which she characterized as a matter of progressing in an unconventional way. “That caught people off guard. ... It's out of the box and unconventional. That's what we are as Alaskans and certainly how I am as a public servant.” Palin said she doesn't think she needs a title to affect “positive change,” but added that she can't see herself being totally out of public service.
