Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected to announce Friday that she will not seek a second term, a Republican source close to Palin tells CNN.
Palin has scheduled a 3 p.m. ET news conference at her home in Wasilla. The governor’s office offered no further details about the subject of the news conference, but the sources tells CNN that Palin will announce her decision to forgo another run.

Think Adam Sandler in the movie Happy Gillmore.
He realized that Chubbs was right.
“I am going to go learn how to play golf”...
She is going to run in 2012 and she is going to win. :)
That was my question. Only *sources* are being quoted.
Another thought I had... this will pre-empt any strategies Sarah’s enemies were cooking up in Alaska. Because quite frankly, I was getting a little sick and tired of seeing them taking her to court for anything they could “make up.”
I wonder if this is what all of the hit pieces have been about this last week. Politico’s trying to get her to pull back from this?
WOW
And “Gunny” French said he thought he would run for Gov next go around.
I wonder how many candidates we will have - 15, 25? Going to be crowded....
Very interesting...
Ditto with Reagan....
sounds good to me too!! GO SARAH!! GO!!!!! with BIBLE IN HAND *instead of the koran*
and ARMED with INTEGRITY!!!!
“Huckabee, Romney and Guiliani weren’t in any political office when they ran last year.”
And look what happend to them.
It’s always bad to “quit” a job without having a new one to go to.
She’s cutting her resume short.
She needed to get reelected as governor, IMO to run for the presidency. That’s the blueprint for governors that want to run for president.
She will, and she will.
Wow. Why???
Don’t get me wrong at all, I do love Sarah, but I don’t see how resigning before the end of her first term would be good for 2012.
Note that Fox is already second guessing her. Saying that if she has any political aspirations, that this is the wrong weekend. I’m sure she is wearing the wrong outfit too. Their agenda is as transparent as when they chose McLame as the only presidential candidate.
If she goes dark for a while, the media will be so short on targets that they may have to start looking at the Offal (oval?) Office.
Wouldn’t it be better though if she had another term as Governor to show “experience”? It doesn’t matter to me but the media will go super bonkers over “lack of experience” again.
So she opted to fade away.
I predict a FoxNews program in her future.
Think she might be running for Murkowski’s seat in 2010? Yes, I realize they’re both Republicans, but there’s a lot of neoptism still hanging over Lisa’s head.
See my previous post.
It would have been VERY helpful for her to get reelected.
They sure have been doing that ... to a ridiculous degree.
Looks like she is aiming for the Senate next
