Palin Says She'll Stump for Conservative Democrats

And while Palin maintains that she's keeping all doors open at this point, she insists that her departure had nothing to do with personal ambition and everything to do with what's best for Alaska.

In response to this latest ethics complaint Palin issued a statement saying, "I hope this will be a wake-up call -- to legislators, to commentators and to citizens generally -- that we need a much more civil and respectful dialogue that focuses on the best interests of the state, rather than the petty resentments of the few."

The highest profile complaint focused on whether the governor tried to unfairly oust the state's director of public safety for refusing to fire a state trooper who had been married to Palin's sister.

In a report released last October, Alaska's Legislative Council found that Palin had "abused her power as governor." But the governor's office is quick to point out that of the 19 total ethics complaints filed against Palin or her staff, 15 have been resolved. But there are still four pending.

Earlier this week, Levi Johnston, the former fiance of Palin's daughter Bristol, lambasted the governor for stepping down from office.

In a press conference Thursday, Johnston claimed that he heard the governor say several times how much she'd like to take advantage of the lucrative media offers that came in after the 2008 campaign.

"She had talked about how nice it would be to take some of this money people had been offering us and, you know, just run with it, say, 'Forget everything else,'" he said.

A spokeswoman for the Palin family responded to Johnston's claims in an e-mail to The Associated Press, saying, "It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills."

Johnston, 19, is reportedly pursuing his own book and a possible movie deal.
