Dateline 7/03/09 MSNBC.com Palin to resign as Alaska governor Former vice presidential hopeful says she won't finish out first term BREAKING NEWS NBC News and news services updated 4:03 p.m. ET, Fri., July 3, 2009 WASILLA, Alaska - Sarah Palin announced Friday she plans to resign as governor of Alaska in a few weeks, saying she will try to "affect positive change" from outside government. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, made the announcement at a press conference Friday. She said the decision has been "in the works" for a while and comes after "prayer and consideration." She is handing the reins over to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will be sworn in on July 25. Parnell and most of Palin's cabinet were present at the announcement. "We know we can affect positive change outside government at this moment in time on another scale and actually make a difference," she said, adding that politics had become a "superficial, wasteful bloodsport." Some have speculated in the past that Palin may be interested in running for president in 2012, but she did not mention running for another office. Palin was elected Alaska's youngest and first woman governor in 2006 at age 42. She was the surprise pick of Arizona Sen. John McCain as running mate in the 2008 presidential election. She was only the second woman to appear on a major party presidential ticket — Democrat Geraldine Ferraro was the first when she ran unsuccessfully for vice president with Walter Mondale in 1984. © 2009 msnbc.com URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31726640?GT1=43001 MSN Privacy .

(608): imagine a blue Jetta with an ILLINOIS license plate that read JISLORD..... upon pondering it for 10 minutes I came to the conclusion that J stood for JESUS and IF the license plate had enough room it would read "Jesus Is Lord"
