WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Spokesman: Sarah Palin is resigning as Alaska governor on July 26.
Her spokesman wouldn't say why Palin decided to step down, but the announcement stirred speculation that she would focus on a bid for the 2012 Republican nomination for president.
Spokesman Dave Murrow says Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month.
In a statement released by her office, Palin says once she made the decision not to seek re-election, she also decided that if she were to "embrace the conventional Lame Duck status," it would amount to "another dose of politics as usual." She said that's something she "campaigned against and will always oppose."
Palin was selected as the Vice Presidential candidate for Senator John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.

Joe Biden may have made some comments that he wishes he could take back but he has done FAR more for this country than "the quitter." The only thing she has provided us that was of any use at all were some good laughs. I'll miss those. LOL
Joe Biden is an idiot. My favorite stupid comment, "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened," he said. Herbert Hoover -- not Roosevelt -- was president in 1929, and television had not yet been invented in 1929. And my second favorite, speaking about Obama, "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." That sounds a little racist to me.
