Sarah Palin resigns as Alaska governor

Alaska governor Sarah Palin, former Republican vice-presidential candidate, made a surprise announcement Friday that she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down, raising speculation that she would focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race.

Palin hastily called a news conference this morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters actually made it to the announcement. State troopers blocked late-arriving media outside her home, and her spokesman, Dave Murrow, finally emerged to confirm that Palin will step down July 26. He refused to give details about the governor’s future plans.

Sarah has the right to do what she wants… I think that she will run as an Independent in 2012… it was a stretch for her to be a republican, she is definatley not a liberal, and really seems to beat her own drum…. She would be a welcome candidate for the Independents…. Finally someone the whole world will not laugh at from their party.
