When I saw the headline at The Huffington Post website a few minutes ago, I thought that it had to be a poorly-timed April Fool's joke. But no, this is actual breaking news: Sarah Palin is going to resign the Alaskan governorship by the end of July.
Some news outlets are spinning this as an indication of her intention to run for the Presidency in 2012, while others are suggesting that a huge scandal about John McCain's 2008 VP candidate is about to break wide open. Either way, it should prove to be an interesting Fourth of July weekend in the States!
[Update: If you want to read the transcript of her announcement, it's now available. Especially notable are the two instances of her saying "that's a quitter's way out" and "[the members of the U.S. military] don't quit", in a speech in which she's telling the people of Alaska that she's quitting as their governor! Also, I found the reference to "this REAL 'climate change' [in political dirty tricks]" to be particularly revealing, as it shows pretty clearly that uber-conservative Palin has firmly set up shop among the Climate Change denier camp.]

I don't think it will be feasible for her to re-enter the political scene if that's what she's planning on doing in a few years.
