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.

cutting and running thats what the Rush Limbaugh Party do
This is not news. Please look up "investigative journalism" and try it!
Well they say celebrities die in three's and I certainly consider this a celebrity death cause her 15 minutes of fame are certainly up! I look forward to her comedy show's reunion tour when election time comes around again though!
Good riddance to bad rubbish...her inflated opinion of herself gievs egotism a new name.
LMAO, she is an idiot! Never in my life have I seen such a farce! So she quits being a governor, she`ll lose in 2012 for sure, all she can hope to do is fleece the Republican Party during the campaign. GOP, wake up you`ll never win with sorry candidates you keep bring to the plate! You want to win, make up with Colin Powell and admit you were wrong for the past 8 years and let a real man lead your party to victory!
Didn't Sarah just get back from Argentina?
So...the 'Right path but not the easier path' to Palin is to dump her constituients who elected her, take a book deal, and basically thumb her nose at Alaska????
....And this person thinks she can take the pressure of being President??
Governing Alaska was relatively easy while the oil revenues were pouring in. The people of that state were very dependant on this money. Now that it has gone, tough choices had to be made, just like every other state has to. Governor Palin knows this, so she made the easy choice...Quit....There are probably dozens of Governors that would like to bail out on the mess they have..It will be funny to watch her start to steal the spotlight from Mitt and Newt and the rest of the "good ole boys"
Wow. So much anger, some of you should really get over yourselves.
Has anybody here seen that movie Na*lin Palin. The girl who play her would make a better governor. At least she has a usefull talent
(if CNN post this, I'll dance the Jig)
Bye bye, Sarah. And don't let the door hit ya where the moose should have bit ya. You betcha!
To ANNIE, if you think Palin is honest then your ignorant! Shes a POLITICIAN....DUH, also is the biggest hypocryte thats come around in awhile. If ever elected she would try to enforce her version of what America should be and not applting that to her own family! She knew her daughter was having sex before she ever got nominated for VP but tried to cover it up! Shes a fraud in the worst way!
I am surprised that her party is not calling her a Communist, or Fox news saying that Sarah Palin (D) quit. What a bunch of looney tunes.
Annie
This narcissist didnt step down because she was hounded by the media she was a media hog....... Either she is crazy to think quitting now will help her chances to be the GOP nominee in 2012 or something is about ready to blow up in her face in Alaska. Either way good riddance the people of Alaska really have something to celebrate now
Who Cares !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is sinking quickly as he has no clue how to fix the economy and the devastating unemployment and foreclosure problem....
He'll be gone in 12' to be replaced by the "Thrilla from Wasilla."
SUCH A FAKE–most people could see right through her and see her for the fruitcake she is. She has a maturity problem and needs to be seeing a psych 3x a wk. Did anyone see the show with the older girls boyfriend? His description of her was that she was "out there".
After Stevens and Palin, why would Alaska want another Republican in office? Lets just call it a win,win for the Dems in 2010.
Is that pregnant-looking young teen in the red dress her daughter?
This is a preemptive strike for upcoming bad news.
Her grand child is hers.
Sarah Palin is no longer viable for the office of the President of the United States of America.By quitting her office and leaving Alaska in turmoil she has shown her contempt for office and the people of the United States.Who could cast a vote for her to be President if she can not commit herself to a place as small as Alaska?
To Sarah in 2012..........got mental problems, shes dead in the water! shes a phoney! wake up dummy!
Another two faced evangelical bites the dust ... please go away in silence.
You are a bunch of left-wing critics. Nothing Palin could do would be the "right" thing to do. Really, do you know anything about her? NO.
I`m resigning the office of Governor to spend more time hiking the Appalachian Trail
