ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) – Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate in 2008, said on Friday she will resign this month, an unexpected move that could signal a run for higher office. Palin took no questions after a brief news conference in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, members of her state Cabinet by her side. She gave no indication of her future plans. “I'm not seeking re-election” in 2010, Palin said, adding she would transfer authority to Lieutenant

Sarah Palin has resigned! Sarah Palin still has ambitions to run for the White House in 2012, and her resignation may be so that she can bow out of the gubernatorial office before her Alaskan approval ratings fall to disastrous levels, which would be the kiss of death for her. Another Poll of Alaskans is expected shortly, which would confirm her growing unpopularity in her own state. Palin’s approval ratings have been falling dramatically, as confirmed by a poll from Anchorage firm Hays

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin surprised supporters Friday and announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down—throwing into question whether she would seek a run for the White House in 2012. The news rattles a Republican Party plagued with setbacks in recent weeks, including extramarital affairs disclosed by two other 2012 presidential prospects, Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. Palin hastily called a news co

The announcement is stunning as it is abrupt. I did not catch the press conference but glanced at the press reports coming out of Alaska. Here's the report from KTUU-Alaska : Speculation has swirled for weeks, perhaps months that Palin would not seek re-election in 2010 as she pursues a political career on the national stage. The former vice presidential candidate has long been rumored to be considering a run at the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Palin did not address those

The official press release is here … but you want find what you’re looking for if you read it. I couldn’t get a sense of what her goals may be from her hastily arranged press conference either. She wandered out into her backyard and delivered a short statement, taking no questions afterward, in the media blackhole that is the 4th of July weekend. Also, she leaked some information earlier in the day that suggested she wouldn’t run for reelection but not mentioning she would be stepping down in a

The news of Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor came during my show this afternoon, where we spent most of an hour discussing it with the chatizens and my co-host Duane Patterson. I’ve had a chance to watch the video of her announcement and read through dozens of Twitter messages back and forth attempting to rationalize this, and still, it simply can’t be rationalized on the basis of what Palin said today.
