WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sarah Palin, who surprised the U.S. political world last year by becoming Republican John McCain's vice presidential running mate, surprised again on Friday by announcing her resignation as Alaska's governor.
Palin, a former small-town mayor who became governor in December 2006, has been touted as a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
As McCain's Number Two, she ignited conservatives with her social views but turned off other voters who believed she was unprepared for the White House.
