Governor Sarah Palin scheduled a press conference in Wasilla, Alaska to make a big announcement. Rumors swirled that she was, inevitably, declaring herself a candidate for president in 2012.
But the one-term governor declared that she would resign her office effective July 26 and handing over the reigns of the state government to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell.
Palin delivered an incoherent and rambling speech describing her reasons for abandoning her post as chief executive for the state of Alaska. This press conference will be mocked across the country but not amount of snark will do service to the actual speech itself. (She’s quitting to prove she’s not a quitter?)
Something to say?
