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.

The reason I LIKE Mitt Romney is that he’s the guy that can win!!!
Can someone please tell mewhat office Ronald Reagan held when he ran for president?
Ha ha ha!
Not what I want either!!!
What did he win exactly. He was beaten by McCain and Huckabee.
WE NEED THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE BACK!!!! FIRST!!! Then the Presidency in 2012.
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.
I Agree, but what has Mitt (who ain't itt.) got to do with such.
You got that right.
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.
LOL!
I’ll make the donation anyway, win or lose!
You are in agreement with Andrea Mitchell.
EXCELLENT POST, so sad to see so many turn on her. I am with Sarah all the way!
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.
Either take your medication or quit stalking me.
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...
I have no doubt that the ‘Cuda has a plan.
Stop watching TV! lol
Keep the faith...
I think you’re right.
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.
