Wow. Wonder what's up? It's odd that it's mid-term and she says she's not running for election again.

Leo Lakio: Thanks!
cyleet99: But it's mid-term. There is no immediately pending election that would cause her to have to resign right now that I know of and if she were going to run for another office, wouldn't she just say that she's preparing for running for another office?

What other office would she run for in Alaska? Unless of course she is going to run for some other office in another state which means leaving now and wait for the resident status to kick in by the time 2010 rolls around.

Re: Palin Stepping Down As Governor
Am I the only person here who thinks that there's more to this Sarah Palin resignation story than meets the eye? South Carolina gov. Mark Sanford initially told his staff that he was hiking the Appalachian trail to explain his sudden disappearance. As we all know, the real story was a whole lot more scandalous and bizarre. I have the strong feeling that the other shoe has yet to drop which will give the actual reason why Palin is stepping down mid-term.
I don't know what kind of future lies in store for Palin. Maybe she'll be a media star via a talk or reality show. Who knows? But after her rambling and nonsensical resignation speech, I'll say it right here and now. Her career in elective politics is all but over. If she wanted to raise her national profile by campaigning and making appearances in the lower 48, she needed to at least finish out her 4 year term as governor. But leaving after only 2.5 years in office? That is sure to be a criticism that Palin will receive from potential GOP rivals like Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Tim Pawlenty, all of whom served out full terms as governor.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Re: Palin Stepping Down As Governor
It could be health. I hope not. She could be dodging some scandal, financial or sexual. She might have some more dirty family laundry she'd rather not get aired. Its hard to imagine her as a serious candidate for anything after quitting midterm.
