FORMER VP CANDIDATE WILL LEAVE OFFICE AT END OF MONTH

The Alaska governor who nearly became the first female vice president of the United States will resign at the end of the month.

Sarah Palin shocked the nation Friday by announcing at a press conference that she will step down as governor and hand over power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at the annual governor’s picnic on July 19.

Palin’s husband Todd said his wife was leaving office so she could “concentrate on doing the things for Alaska and the country that she is passionate about and cannot do as governor with the limitations and constant opposition she deals with within the state government.”

This announcement will no doubt fuel rumors that Palin will run for president in 2012.

The 45-year-old Alaskan governor recently came under fire in a Vanity Fair article in which top Republican officials blistered her with personal attacks.

She leaves office before completing her first term as governor in a move critics already say is “staunchly political.”

Palin’s resignation comes just 24 hours after South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said he would not leave office, despite calls for him to vacate following an affair with an Argentine woman.

    If you dumb down neo-conservative retarded Republicans think that Sara is the Savior of the United States, than you need to climb the tallest mountain in South Carolina and wait until the Alien Lizards kidnap you and Governor Stanford at the same time……

    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.

    “Nearly became the first female vice president?” Were you awake on Election Day last year? There wasn’t anything “nearly” about it, bud.

    If she spends the next two years bringing herself up to speed, she stands a good chance of taking the nomination. I mean lets be honest, we have some people serving in Congress now with the IQ of a gnat and we have had a few President’s that were personable but not smart. Aren’t we being harder on her than we have been on others? Oh, I forgot, this is the nation that thinks spending our way into debt will solve our problems and we think Palin is dumb.
