Palin to make announcement from Wasilla at 3 [will not seek re-election]
Politico ^ | July 3, 2009 | Ben Smith

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will make what her office is only calling an "announcement" at 11 AM local (3 Eastern) from her home in Wasilla.

Speculation is raging both in Alaska and in the Lower 48 that she'll reveal her plans regarding next year's gubernatorial race.

So much for today being a slow news day.

Never said you were gloating. It is ok now anyway, she is resigning. Sigh.

I said it after Sanford’s weird implosion and I’ll say it again now - I sense some are seeing the writing on the wall and choosing to “Go Galt.” I’m even more convinced now. And now I’m even more in fear for my country.

I agree. It's as tho our fate has been predetermined.

Damn. Someone who spoke with her recently said she complained that she was spending 80% of her time defending herself from the Demmunist's frivolous lawsuits. She felt that she didn't think it was fair to the people of Alaska to continue as governor.

Just damn. How anyone can support the Demmunists is beyond me.

Bill Kristol (ugh) says he thinks it may be a shrewd gamble and she’s crazy like a fox. “Interesting and bold political gambit.”

NOOOO!!!! Darn it, Kristol, "crazy like a fox" was my idea, I posted it here on FR first! Find your own cliche!

This isn’t a quitter speech. She’s getting ready to run for 2012! LOL Enumerating her accomplishments.

Like publana said, I think she's positioning herself for The Next Big Thing --either a presidential or senatorial run.

She certainly doesn't seem cowed by the media, or sad. She looks very confident. She speaks very well. She conveys competence, confidence and capability. She's free of McCain, and she's going to kick butt.

Things are looking up.

This is not the speech of a quitter . . . I may have to rethink my initial reaction.

I hope she regroups and comes to the lower 48 and beats the crap out of the entrenched politicians!

I gather Chris Wallace was uttering wishful thinking when predicting she was leaving politics altogether. From the litany of accomplishments she’s now citing, I suspect I may have been right believing she’s getting ready to run in 2012. Media will have a field day but she’s equipped to handle it better than most.

Fabulous speech so far, btw.
