I know that Sarah Palin announced that she was no longer going to be governor of Alaska and wouldn't even be finishing her term! It probably shocked everyone, I'm sure, but I never caught her reasoning to stepping down. Does anybody know why Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska?
Razhie answered Wednesday July 8 2009, 10:20 am: We can only speculate, and listen to what she said:
She said she felt unable to function properly as governor with all the negative media attention, and she said she felt her last term with would be 'lame duck', effectively, that should wouldn't be able to get anything done because of the political games that go one when everyone knows it's your last term.
She didn't say she was intending to run for president in 2012, but of course that might be a large part of what this is about.
The other rumor, for better or worse, is that there is another big scandal about to break in her administration, and that it would be better and safer for her to not be governor when it happens.
