Gov. Palin has announced her resignation.
Wow... Sarah Palin announced today that she will be resigning from her position as the governor of Alaska effective July 26th. Gov. Palin has not provided an explanation as to her reason for stepping down at this time. The buzz, however, is that she is positioning herself for nomination on the Republican presidential ticket for 2012.
Sarah Palin, of course, was Senator John McCain's selection for the vice presidential position during the 2008 elections. Although Sarah Palin's selection was highly controversial she rallied together significant populist support. Gov. Palin's popularity, however, has declined since the fall elections.
Ms. Palin became a household name during the election campaign after Saturday Night Live ran a series of parodies on her, and after her own personal appearance on the show.
Will Sarah Palin seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012? It's anybody's guess. However, considering the criticisms she received pertaining to international affairs, Russia in particular, and specifically her comments on Putin rearing his ugly head and flying over Alaska, the chances are questionable that she will receive any serious consideration for the presidential slot.
