Levi Still Talking: 'I Wouldn't Vote for Palin'

In his latest interview, says stress got to her

Share

(Newser) – Levi Johnston is still talking about Sarah Palin, and Today was listening this morning as he reiterated his stance that her resignation was fueled by a quest for cash. “I've heard anything from $7 million to $9 million. It's up there,” he says of her book advance—and added that he was not surprised when the gov quit: “It’s a very stressful job.”

Would he vote for her in 2012? Not so fast, he says. “After what she had done now, quit in Alaska, I really don't think I would go for her if she ran for president. If she can't handle the stress level as governor, I don't think she can handle it as president or vice president."

Because people are still paying attention to him. This article and comments is a perfect example: People say "I don't care!" and yet they have taken the time to read this little blurb AND comment on it.
