Sarah Palin shocked the political word Friday afternoon by announcing that she will step down at the end of
      the month and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell -- a move that throws into doubt her political future and a potential
      run for president in 2012.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/03/palin-opts-run-second-term-alaska-governor/"><P>Palin, last year's Republican vice presidential nominee, made the surprise announcement from
      her home in Wasilla, flanked by her husband, Todd, and family and state commissioners.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/03/palin-opts-run-second-term-alaska-governor/"><P>"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."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/03/palin-opts-run-second-term-alaska-governor/"><P>Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic
