Governor Sarah Palin today said she will step down as governor of Alaska in a few weeks.
Sarah Palin made a surprise announcement Friday that she will resign as governor of Alaska in a few weeks, saying she will try to “effect positive change” from outside government.
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.
She said the decision has been “in the works” for a while and comes after “prayer and consideration” and discussions with her family.
She is handing the reins over to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will be sworn in at the governor’s picnic in Fairbanks on July 26. Parnell and most of Palin’s cabinet and Palin’s family were at the announcement.
Palin was vague about why exactly she is stepping down rather than finish out her first term, which ends in 2010.
“We know we can effect positive change outside government at this point in time on another scale and actually make a difference for our priorities,” she said. She added that she was tired of what she described as “superficial, wasteful, political bloodsport.”

Much speculation as to why she is resigning is going on, with not many answers as yet.
Certainly the article in Vanity Fair could not have helped.
At this point, who knows.
There is still hope that she and Monica Crowley will go on a good will tour of the U.S., being billed as the ‘Last of the Republican Hotties’, while trying to persuade lots of enthralled Democrat men to change their ways.

Perhaps she’s effecting positive change simply by leaving.

leftystrat, good call. According to the talking heads, she has put the final nails in a coffin of a political career.
I can’t see this being the last we hear from her - she likes hearing herself talk way too much.
