BEFORE her first term is even over. Seems like ole Sarah "You Betcha" Palin didn't really have the chops afterall.

This is ridiculous. She only had one more year to serve anyway. Why not finish that term out and choose not to run for reelection? Actually, if she wants to shoot for the WH in 2012, she'd be better off getting reelected as governor, most likely.

Yet another WTF? move by Sarah Palin.

Imperator, I don't know if you were joking when you said she has a "lock" on the GOP nom in 2012 now. This is going to kill her, if the party has any sense at all (which I realize is a dubious proposition).

Good Lawdy, MarcATL.

Palin ain't no Reagan. Jeez . . .

Look at the types of comments this news is getting from the boards of the internets:

Interesting. Maybe shes tired of the democrat attack machine. Shes had to dend off dozens of lawsuits, which shes won all of them. That probably gets old.

Hate to pour water on your Palin hate fire-but Mitt Romney resigned two years prior to the end of his term--to "guess what" run for POTUS.

She may be doing an Obama here--take a senate seat--next year--which she would surely win--then run for POTUS in 2012.

This is what politicians typically do when they're getting ready to move to another political position.

We'll see what she is up to shortly

It's possible too, she is just very tired of her family getting attacked every time she walks out the front door by the left wing media--& or she just got offered a private sector job that she just can't refuse.

Maybe she is done being a Republican?

uhm hello shes stepping down to ready for 2012 and get her family out of the limelight......chops

I don't hate funny entertainers. On the contrary, I happen to like comedians very much. I hope Sarah Palin plans on playing in town near me with all her new soon-to-be free time.

We get it. You dont like her. Now contribute something other than insults.

She will most likley run for senate in 2010, to get the washington experience and prepare for her run in 2012 and 2016.

If I were in her position I would take a power too. her family has been attacked none stop, and she can make 50-100k to make a speach...
