Alaska Gov,. Sarah Palin (R) announced she will step down as Alaska governor, reports the Anchorage Daily News.

CQ Politics: “In a rambling press conference, Palin
alluded to a future in national politics even if she abdicated the one
office she has held that is above mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.”

The timing — coming in the late afternoon on the first day of a holiday weekend — couldn’t be stranger It will lead to much speculation as to why she seems to be dropping out of politics just as many expected her to ramp up a White House bid.
