Palin reveals little as she exits Alaska politics

GOVERNOR Sarah Palin gained fame – and infamy among some – since she embarked on a vice-presidential bid less than a year ago.

Her surprising departure from Alaska’s top office is prompting questions over her motives and next big move.

She left office yesterday with her political future clouded by ethics probes, mounting legal bills and dwindling popularity. A new Washington Post-ABC poll puts her favourability rating at 40%, with 53% giving her an unfavourable rating.
