I'm still hoping this means a run for president, which would be a guaranteed loss for the Republicans. But seems more likely Sarah Palin will be aiming for the Senate next year, presumably with a good shot at winning.
EDIT: Okay now that I saw her press conference, I take it back. I dunno what the heck she's doing. And her point guard analogies makes me want to never watch basketball again.
Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her Wasilla home Friday morning. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor's Picnic at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks on Saturday, July 25, Palin said.
There was no immediate word as to why she will resign, though speculation has been rampant that the former vice presidential candidate is gearing up for a run at the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Palin made the announcement flanked by Parnell and most, if not all, of her cabinet.
