SARAH PALIN RESIGNING

Supreme leader of Alaska and neighbor to Russia, Sarah Palin, has announced she will be resigning.
Palin announced at a "hastily convened" press conference earlier today that she will resign and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at the end of the month. She didn't take any questions, or field any inquiries about her future plans. Common speculation has been that she's gonna make a run for the presidency in 2012.
There was a sudden press conference that had her surrounded by family earlier. That's typically more indicative of a motion of support, less one of a political maneuver/preparation.
Is Bristol pregnant again? Is more dirt going to come out on her harassment of Wasilla librarians? Or, is the model-mother pregnant herself?
Whatever the case, her bizarre, teary press-conference statement "I know when it's time to pass the ball. Some are going to question the timing of this. This decision has been in the works for a while," leaves us in the dark, for now.
Maybe she'll announce her intentions after the MJ funeral.
