Sarah Palin Resigns as Governor of Alaska
Sarah Palin Resignation Means She Will Not Seek Re-Election for Position of Governor in 2010 After Stepping Down
Governor Sarah Palin made the announcement that she would be stepping down before the end of the month, and that she is now in the process of transferring power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will take the oath of the office on July 25th at the Governor's Picnic. The reason for the Sarah Palin resignation is said to be that she has "accomplished goals she has set forward". It's an off reason to resign as Governor with only about a year left on the term, but apparently this was the right move for Sarah Palin to make for herself and her family at this time.
The Sarah Palin resignation could mean a couple of things for the future of Sarah Palin in politics, with the most obvious assumption being that she is resigning in order to spend more time running for President in the 2012 election. It's an odd choice to resign so early though, as it could hurt her in the end with voters assuming that she would quit on them again down the road. At the same time, with the Sarah Palin resignation coming so far from the next election the thought could be that people might forget what she has done.
There is sure to be more news very soon about specific reasons for the Sarah Palin resignation, but for now everyone is going to be left to assume that she has her own personal reasons for doing so. The Sarah Palin resignation is going to be very huge in the news soon, and it is also possible that the announcement was made heading into the July 4th weekend in an effort to shield it from being seen by millions on the hour every hour. The only information we know for sure right now, is that by the end of July, Sarah Palin will no longer be the Governor of Alaska.

Post a CommentI agree with Saul and Wow. It was a fluke that she got as far as she did. I mean, think about it. How many people actually LIVE in Alaska? And how many prefer to live there because they're running away from society? So that leaves a minority of the population who'd even WANT to run for Mayor or Governor.
I hadn't herd about this, great reporting, and very well written. Thanks!
I think it's so ironic that she cries media bias and crucifixion..She should take a page from Hillary on how to handle persecution at the hands of the media..:) Which would be..to just to ignore them and do your work..Oh..maybe that's it..she really doesn't know how to work, just campaign and smile and shake hands and kiss babies and fawn over people..Nice article.
I'm thinking there's a scandal brewing.
Well done report. I am disappointed that she did not go full term with the Governor's spot.
Huh...had not hear this. Nice reporting.
All I can say right now is, YAY! I hope she isn't egotistical enough to try for president when she can't even manage the job as governor correctly. Great article :)
Maybe this is an attempt to get the Lt. Gov. elected. Sort of giving him some governing experience to use in his campaign to be elected governor.
Good coverage, as always!
I agree with saul relative, I think its all for her own personal gain. She makes promises and breaks them, her best interest was apparently not in the best interest for Alaskans. McCain just made her head swell and she ran with it. Not a good leader, just a 'popular' one.
