Sarah Palin has announced she's to resign as Governor of Alaska, supposedly sparking rumours she's cranking up a presidential bid. Sources close to Palin are saying she's out of politics for good.

People that want the Republican Party to stand a chance in 2012 (or 2016...) are probably breathing a sigh of relief. People who want their politicians to look hot and talk nasty are probably in mourning.

Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great. At least we still have the pictures...
