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.

So do I. I thought I didn’t care that much if she runs as long as we get a solid conservative that can beat Obama. I was wrong. I have tears in my eyes at the thought of her quitting, although I would not blame her a bit.

Resigning is NOT a good idea, IMHO. Need to complete the term she was elected to.

Apparently, ktva in AK reporting she will be resigning as Governor in a matter of weeks.

We have some conflicting reports on that then don't we? I hope she doesn't resign as Governor.

Well, that makes it seem as if she is getting out of politics altogether and that the old bats in Alaska ran her out with all the ethics complaints. If she plans on running for Potus she is making a mistake in resigning, of course I think she knows that.

I think she needs to go to the Senate first, to get more familiar with how DC operates, before running for POTUS.

I disagree. This latest election not withstanding, historically sitting senators tend not to do well in presidential elections, especially when they run against someone who did not come from the senate.

Read my Post 75

Leaving office at the end of next year, the former vice presidential hopeful will be able to travel the country more freely without facing the sort of repeated ethics inquiries she’s been fending off since returning to Alaska earlier this year. Article here

She’s still young, maybe she just needs some time in the wilderness, then maybe in 2016 she could emerge. But I’m inclined to think that as far as 2012 goes, she won’t be there.
