Wow - what a development!
Palin first leaked she would not re-run for Governor, which simply sounded par for the course to get geared up for 2012 - then this ...
Palin to resign as Governor of Alaska at the end of this month.
Quote:
CNN - Gov. Sarah Palin announced Friday that she will step down as Alaska's chief executive by the end of the month. She will not seek election to a second gubernatorial term in 2010.
:: ::
Palin said she was transferring authority to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will be sworn in at the Governor's Picnic on July 25.

OK, there is no manner or means to read this other than walking away from responsibilities as Governor - I think anyone with 2012 Lipstick stickers on their vehicles may just want to get out their removal gear. (It would have been one thing to play out the current term and not re-run in 2010, but resignation, so early?)
