Sarah Palin Resigns as Alaska Governor
In a surprising move, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has announced she will resign from her post July 26 -- with two years left in her term. Saying she didn't feel she could do her job effectively and that her family had to come first, Palin didn't rule out a run for U.S. president in 2012.“We’ve got to put first things first. I love my job, and I love Alaska. I am doing what’s best for Alaska,” Palin said Friday at a press conference in her hometown of Wasilla.

and the real reason is?
I cannot help but wonder what the real reason behind this is? A run for the presidency? A way to dodge a scandal? Or perhaps she has learned that she can make more money as a public speaker then as governor?

Time will tell
Im not holding my breath to realize the outcome of this. Time did a top 10 on why she may have resigned. Your three on on there. I would not be in any way surprised to see her become the part time / full time mouthpiece for Foxnews.
I would love to celebrate her leaving office with the hopes that she disappears from politics altogether. I know that is too much to ask for.

I think
Presidential aspirations are out. Heck, if I ran the RNC, I'd pay her not to run.

We can only hope so
I'm sorry. I'm as liberal democrat as you can get, but what Palin did to the Republican party just depressed me.

Clueless again, quantum
It's what the Dems did to her that will come back to bite you in the ass. You think she took down the Republicans, you're so very wrong. You think she's out of the picture? Again, wrong. You are underestimating her and you shouldn't do that. Just why are you guys so scared of her? Because you know you don't have an answer for her!

Let's be clear now
It's Sarah Palin we're talking about here, not Imhotep. I'm not terrified, and neither is anyone else, of the mummy's curse. And how did we not have an answer for her? She was almost as public, if not more so, than John McCain in the 2008 election . And we won.

Your fear is evident
by your sleazy attacks. You don't attack politicians who don't present a threat to you. I think we can agree that our sitting Vice President has nothing in the way of intelligence on Sarah, but I wouldn't attack Biden, he's not a threat, so why do you attack Palin? Believe me, I'm good with you continuing to make like she's a dead horse. So was Mine That Bird right before she won the KY Derby.

I would say
She can make more money as a public a speaker
