Palin Resigns As Governor of Alaska

. . . but not necessarily from the political scene

The political world is shocked by Sarah Palin's decision to resign from her job as Alaska's Governor. Speculation is abound, but in short, her reasons basically said that serving as a lame duck governor won't help the State of Alaska.

Palin kept the details of her future political plans under wrap. We are reminded that half a dozen years passed after Ronald Reagan's governorship of California ended before he was elected President of the United States. This move by Palin may simply be an opportunity to temporarily remove herself from the limelight for a while, regroup, and possibly make her plans for a 2012 presidential run.

Part of her decision was also based upon the continual presence of personal attacks on both Sarah Palin, and her family, by those that find her to be a threat. Nonetheless, she has inspired millions, and the enthusiasm among Conservatives regarding Sarah Palin remains.

I believe Sarah Palin wishes to spend this time to re-make herself, and position herself for national run in 2016 (if not 2012).
