WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican Governors Association released a statement Friday in response to the Palin announcement:
RGA Statement on Governor Palin’s AnnouncementRepublican Governors Association Executive Director Nick Ayers issued the following statement in regards to Sarah Palin’s announcement today that she will not seek reelection in 2010 and will step down from the governorship on July 25th.
“While we regret the news announced by Governor Palin today, Alaska will continue to have a Republican governor through 2010 and we are confident the state will elect a Republican in next year’s election.
The RGA’s focus remains firmly on the gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia this year, and the 37 gubernatorial elections that will take place in 2010. We know that winning these races is the most important task facing our Party over the next two years.”

Wow. Doesn't sound like they're too upset. As long as they got a Republican governor there, they couldn't care less about her quitting. Lol.
Goodbye....and please don't come back.
Good thing Palin didn't win the election. She probably would've dropped out of her position like she is now to make a more positive change in the world. Umm...isn't that the goal when running and working for government.
I wish she would quit attention grabbing.
(P.S. If you think a party of white old men would EVER put a woman in charge, YOU ARE HIGHER THAN KEITH RICHARDS)
What an insult to her fellow republicans – Leaving it "Lame Duck".
Takes moron mentality to even tolerate this DITZ. Good riddance. The Lt. Gov. at least has a brain and can speak in sentences understood by all.
So she is not as crazy as I thought. Or maybe she regained her sanity and realized how in over her head she was. Anyhow I think this is the best thing that could happen for the Republican party.
Hopefully she will stay home and mend her fractured family AND STAY OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT, but I"m sure that's not going to happen.
There is more to this story than what meets the eye. Maybe her and Gov Sanford will sale off together! (or already have)
I've been a life-time Republican until all this Mark Sanford mess came about – which still has not been resolved by his staying in office.
But Palin's resigning is just yet one more indication that the party is just about non-existent.
GOP – Why was 'inclusion' such a dirty word to you that your pride cost you your party?
This should make all the liberal jerkhead creeps happy. One HONEST human being stands up for our country and she is absolutely slaughtered. I thought liberal meant live and let live not kill, kill, kill unless you have the same belief as the liberal spouting it out of their mouth.
Good riddins we will not miss you, how about taking sandford with you
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are jumping for "JOY"!
Wait a minute, did she just announce that she was going to cut and run? Who would have thought.
Sounds like the Republican Governors Association isn't sad to see Palin go AT ALL. Their Executive Director's statement reads like a "Thanks for Nothing" note.
But does anyone really believe that Palin wants out of politics?Knowing Palin, this is likely a stunt to stir up her supporters in the hope that she can turn it into a Republican Party presidential nomination in 2012.
Tina Fey was last seen shredding scripts and weeping at what might have been.
The McDonnell / Robertson / Cucienelli ticket would be a horrible blending of radical politics and radical religion that could set Virginia back thirty years. It would be a social and environmetal curse that would lead to disasters of biblical proportions.
She is off to Africa to assist George Obama and help him move to a brick home instead of the dirt-floor and tin-roofed place he has now.
On her return, she will bring Obama's birth certificate and hand it to Hillary.
A quitter for her state a quitter she would be for the nation
She's looking to cash in (literally, not figuratively) on her celebrity and the heck with the folk that elected her. Or maybe she's just heading for Argentina.
Republicans cause too much unnecessary drama, and Palin is the queen of it. Who needs their folly during these challenging times?!
If she becomes President.
All us Alaskan's will Vote to Succeed.
We have had enough of her.
The rest of the country should learn from our mistake
I hope we will not have to hear about her from now on
See you in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GI Joe,
like a broken clock being right twice a day, you are too, occasionally. About it being an insult that she wont finish her term and calling it a "Lame Duck". And remeber you guys wanted her to be second in charge after McCain!
Good, so we can stop reading about her now?
To; annie against biased news
Let me guess Fox News is your favorite channel?
