Palin, a Republican, was elected governor in 2006. She was tapped as Arizona Sen. John McCain's vice presidential running mate last year.

She already gave up her commitment to Alaska a few months ago when she has been running around to other states advocating for Pro Life.. maybe she got a daytime job on FOX news?

WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will resign this month and will not run for re-election as governor, CNN reported on Friday.

Palin was Republican presidential candidate John McCain's vice presidential running mate in last year's election and rallied the party's conservative base. There has been speculation that she would seek to be the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 2012.

However just saw on CNN she just resigned now.

After resigning her job as Governor mid-term?? yeah good luck with that presidential run.. she will never get past the stigma and the what if questions on whether she will serve her full term there.

speaking of what if questions.. what if somehow she and McCain had won.. would she be stepping down as VP? a lot of unfilled blanks here.. I saw her press conference, it did not answer much.

Nahh what slim chance she had at a viable run for 2012 just evaporated
