Sarah "the Barracuda" Palin has Resigned (246 hits)
WASILLA, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a surprise announcement Friday that she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down, raising speculation that she would focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race. The former Republican vice presidential candidate hastily called a news conference Friday morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters actually made it to the announcement. State troopers blocked late-arriving media outside her home, and her spokesman, Dave Murrow, finally emerged to confirm that Palin will step down July 26. He refused to give details about the governor's future plans.
"Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional Lame Duck status in this particular climate would just be another dose of politics as usual, something I campaigned against and will always oppose," Palin said in a statement released by her office.

Palin's decision even took Parnell by surprise. He said he was told on Wednesday evening, and was not aware that any presidential ambitions were behind the move. Palin emerged from relative obscurity nearly a year ago when she was tapped as then Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate. She was a controversial figure from the start, with comedian Tina Fey famously imitating her elaborate hairstyle and folksy "You betcha!" on "Saturday Night Live."
Maybe she looking to for a start in show biz?

/* "QUITTER IS THE THEME!!!" NO ONE LIKES OR WANTS A QUITTER!
The impact that has been made, to me, is the simple fact that "A SKELETON HAS FALLEN FROM THE CLOSET!!!"
Say no to the gop and s. palin...everyone remebers a QUITTER!!! The initial controversy that sourrounded her family is the starting point. What has been disclosed as of late? Showbiz? I wonder. Who would watch? I think quite a few. Less we forget, palin is/was the enemy. Think not? take another look at what she has and hasn't done...what she has and hasn't said.
What happened between she and the gop? (lower case for those not important). People who deem themselves as important are important only if you are paying attention to them. Legends in their own mind(s) always demand attention.
Should we pay attention to enemies past and present?
