Sarah Palin does not want to be VP, or at least her husband does not want to leave his good-paying job:

Bartiromo Talks with Sarah Palin

[excerpt]

Your husband works up in the North Slope, correct?
He does. He works for BP (BP) as an oil production operator up in the oil fields. It's a great blue-collar, hourly-paid, union job up there. It's one of those jobs that Alaskans really like to have because it provides so well for a family, and Alaskans are very blessed to have the opportunities to work in the oil patch.

So what does he say? He's on the ground, he's right on the front line. What does he say about more drilling and more jobs?
He's very excited not only in his role as a father of five kids who are going to be needing jobs in Alaska but also as an Alaskan native. He and his family have lived here for generations, and they have such a connection with the lands and with the environment, and he wants to make sure that our environment, our lands, our wildlife are protected. That's just in his blood.
