| Palin to Resign as Alaska Governor
Quote:
Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has announced she will resign as governor of Alaska on 26 July and not run for re-election.
Mrs Palin's term of office was due to end in 2010.
There has been speculation that Mrs Palin, who is very popular with the Republican Party base, might make a bid for the White House in 2012.
Her resignation means Alaska's Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell will take over as state governor.
