Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is resigning from office.
She didn't say why she decided to step down, but the surprise
announcement stirred speculation that she would focus on a bid for
the 2012 Republican nomination for president.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate made the
announcement from her home in suburban Wasilla on Friday morning.
She said she would step down July 26.
Spokesman Dave Murrow says Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be
inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the
month.
Palin was first elected in 2006 on a populist platform. But her
popularity has waned as she waged in partisan politics following
her return from the presidential campaign.

i hate how palin talks down to people. treating them like they are children. Hope she just fades into the background and we dont hear from her again. I will say she is attractive, yet more annoying than anything.

Who really cares what Moose Barby and Salmon Ken are or are not doing? She is an idiot who will not any influence on the NATIONAL scene. Alaska's loss is now the country's albatross.

An excellent ticket would be Biden/Clinton, Hillary.
