Get ready to see more of Sarah Palin around the continental U.S.: The Alaska Governor and former vice presidential hopeful says she will step down as governor at the end of the month, "We know we can effect positive change outside of government... It is my duty to always protect our great state. With that in mind, my family and I determined that it is best to make a difference this summer, and I am willing to change things, so that this administration, with its positive agenda, its accomplishments, and its successful road to an incredible future, can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success." Politico reports, "Leaving office at the end of the month, [Palin] will be able to travel the country more freely without facing the sort of repeated ethics inquiries she’s been fending off since returning to Alaska earlier this year."
