Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would step down from her post and would not seek re-election in 2010. Also there is speculation that She is shifting her focus onto a 2012 bid for president.
She wants to pay focus towards her family.
As the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin had been considered one of the front-runners for the GOP nomination in 2012.
She told reporters, She said "I never believed that I nor anyone else needs a title to do this, to make a difference," she said. "I’m determined to take the right path for Alaska, even though it is unconventional and it’s not so comfortable."
"People who know me know that besides faith and family, nothing’s more important to me than our beloved Alaska," Palin said in an announcement from her home in Wasilla. "Serving her people is the greatest honor I could imagine."
One factor she cited was the media and political attacks on her, and she suggested that her reason for quitting abruptly was to allow the state to move forward under Parnell without distraction, calling this the "right path for Alaska."
"For my state and for my family to progress … I will not seek re-election as governor,"
