Honestly, I can say, that I did not see this coming, at all.
The Video, with the Governor giving her announcement:
The Story:
WASILLA, Alaska — In a stunning announcement, Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday morning she will resign her office in a few weeks.
Speculation has swirled for weeks, perhaps months that Palin would not seek re-election in 2010 as she pursues a political career on the national stage. The former vice presidential candidate has long been rumored to be considering a run at the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
Palin did not address those rumors at the press conference at her Wasilla home, during which she did not take questions from reporters.
She implied that her real decision was not to seek re-election, and that the resignation was a natural step after that in order to avoid a lame-duck final 18 months of her term.
“With this announcement that I’m not seeking re-election, I’ve determined it’s best to transfer the authority of governor to Lieutenant Governor (Sean) Parnell,” Palin said. “I’m determined to take the right path for Alaska, even though it is unconventional and is not so comfortable.
“And I am willing to do this so this administration, with its positive agenda and its accomplishments and its successful road to an incredible future for Alaska, so that it can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success.”
Parnell will be inaugurated as Palin’s successor at the Governor’s Picnic at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks on Sunday, July 26. Parnell said he will seek election to the governor’s office in 2010. He ran for Congress unsuccessfully against Rep. Don Young in the Republican primary last year.

The reaction from the Blogosphere basically on both sides, has been a collective “WTF?!?!” Some are saying she is running for President, some are saying she is essentially history. Time will tell, I suppose. I think she might just be ready to quit. I mean, the woman has been drug through the mud and her family might just be tired of it all. The again, she might just be the one for 2012. The scenarios are mind boggling; her against Obama in 2012, her against Hillary in 2012, it is a bit much to think about. Hell, I’m just getting used to Obama at the moment.
Needless to say the story will be interesting to follow!
As always; Memeornadum has the round up!
Update: Some idiot Liberal retard writer at the Huffington Post calls Sarah Palin a Schmuck. Stay classy Liberals! 🙄
Update #4 07/04/09:Â Speaking of classy, Doug Ross notes how a progressive blogger, by the name of TBogg; did a horrible photo shop of the Palin family and her son trig. Now where are all the outraged Liberals who came after me, back during the election? Strangely silent they are. Bastards; all of them, and zero class.
Update 2: BradBlog says there is a scandal that is about to break in Alaska. If this were any other liberal site; I would ignore it. But Brad Friedman is pretty reliable. Stay tuned. Update #5: Rumor unfounded and false, so says Alaska FBI spokesman.
Update #3 07/04/09:Â AmSpec Blog Says, “She Cut and Run, ‘Nuff Said”. Ouch.
More information on “grassroots” supporters gathering across the nation to support Sarah Palin for President in 2012 can be found online at http://www.palin4pres2012.com
Note, the website is in danger of crashing due to the flood of readers and supporters signing up to show their interest in a Palin Candidacy. The GOP establishment had better watch out, Sarah Palin and Ron Paul combined with the power of the internet will remove the stranglehold of GOP special interests and the elites who have brought the party to its knees in defeat in the 2008 elections.
she probably got tired of all the attention; maybe she’s not cut out to be a celebrity after all
PALIN MAY OR MAY NOT BE A SHADY CHARACTER.

SCANDALS! SCANDALS! SCANDALS!
EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!
GEORGE W. BUSH IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CRIMINAL STALKER!
George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her.
“In her suit, Margie Schoedinger states that George W. Bush committed sexual crimes against her, organized harassment and moral pressure on her, her family members and close relatives and friends. As Schoedinger said, she was strongly recommended to keep her mouth shut. . . . Furthermore, she alleges that George Bush ordered to show pressure on her to the point, when she commits suicide” (blog of drizzten).
“George [Bush is personally complicit] in the death (murder to be precise) of my friend Margie Schoedinger in September of 2003. Determining the exact whereabouts and contacts of . . . George Bush on September 21 thru 22, 2003, should be entirely lacking in difficulty” (Leola McConnell—Nevada Progressive Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010).
McConnell is correct: Bush applying pressure (continuously criminally stalking Margie Schoedinger) purposefully to force Schoedinger to commit suicide does in fact constitute murder where it culminated in her death.
Bush’s method of murdering Schoedinger cannot exist in a vacuum: he must have murdered other people in the same way.
While Bush was president, he actually murdered numerous people in the disgusting way he murdered Schoedinger. However, the vast majority of such scandalous information will never come out (the grisly details are typically very hard to substantiate). During Bush’s presidency, of course Bush would have desired to kill people whom he hated or get them out of his way. Insofar as Bush was clearly capable of murdering Schoedinger in broad daylight and is clearly capable of getting away with it, in consideration of the laws of human nature, Bush of course murdered numerous people in the disgusting way he murdered Schoedinger. A prosecutor really can lawfully charge a former president with murdering one or more people in the disgusting way Bush murdered Schoedinger. The American people unfortunately live in a world where evil presidents can murder any number of people—figuratively—with a wave of a magic wand and get away with it.

Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her” or “Bush applying pressure (continuously criminally stalking Margie Schoedinger) purposefully to force Schoedinger to commit suicide does in fact constitute murder where it culminated in her death,” hit “Enter,” and find innumerable results.)
