Palin quits Governor role
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee, abruptly announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month, a shocking move that rattled the Republican party but left open the possibility she would seek a run for the White House in 2012.
Mrs Palin, 45, and her staff kept her future plans shrouded in mystery, and it was unclear if the controversial “hockey mom” would quietly return to private life or begin laying the foundation for a presidential bid.
