Palin to RESIGN as Alaska Governor
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 3, 2009

Posted on 07/03/2009 12:33:39 PM PDT by lewisglad

UPDATE: Palin To Resign As Alaska Governor UPDATE: KTUU-TV in Anchorage reports that Palin not only won't seek re-election, but will resign later this month.

ORIGINAL POST: Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has announced she will not run for re-election in 2010, CNN reports. She's scheduled to make an announcement shortly.

The decision frees Palin to travel in the Lower 48 as she considers a potential run for president in 2012. A re-election campaign could also have been tough on the former vice presidential nominee; her approval rating has dropped from stratospheric highs, and a number of candidates in both parties are said to be considering runs.

Even if she won, the race would have been dominated by the specter of a presidential bid, giving her adversaries an opportunity to wound her politically. She's still fending off ethics complaints, many spurred by the "Troopergate" scandal.

What did he win exactly. He was beaten by McCain and Huckabee.

Hmmm looks like someone’s not very confident in this bet. ;)

With every bet there is a possibility of losing. Were I to lose I don't intend to send a check to NAMBLA at your request.

One thing for sure is that you won't be an active poster on FR for long as trolls get flushed just like the material you are composed of so it doesn't really matter.

"It's gonna take an expert in economics to get us out of this mess."

I Agree, but what has Mitt (who ain't itt.) got to do with such.

She has done what she can for Alaska. And what was is it BO has accomplished in his life? I think Sarah is going to become the binding force in the conservative movement however she chooses to do it. She is the real McCoy.

One thing is for sure....if the Libs say SP is done politically....sure sign they are afraid of her still and are trying to make this look as bad for her as they can. NEVER trust ANYTHING the MSM says. Heck, I am beginning to think MJ was a victim of them! Damn!

President Sarah Palin will be sworn in as President in Jan 2013. She will be able to re stock the US Supreme Court with God fearing men and women.

The party is going to use her just as the Dem party used Hillary....as a money raiser.

The difference is....Hillary had to kiss everyone's bu** and Palin will "kick butt".

Do not think Hillary or Palin will ever be President.....Peter's Principle...

To go a little further....I don’t mean “use her” in a bad way....I believe that’s what she’s willing to do....be a spokesperson for the conservatives.
