6. pursue a White House bid in 2012 according to two GOP sources

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has told associates that she will not seek re-election next year, freeing her to pursue a White House bid in 2012, according to two GOP sources.

Palin is to make her decision known later this afternoon from her home in Wasilla with her husband, Todd, and family by her side.

By not running for re-election, Palin liberates herself from the political constraints that come with running for president while still in elected office.

Leaving office at the end of next year, the former vice presidential hopeful 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

15. She knows she'll never win a Presidential race. Gramps McCain will make sure of that

You can't quit a governor's post midstream and expect any kind of political future. She is a quitter. A loser. A fraud. You can bet McCain and Romney would be all about trouncing her if given the chance.

She'll make millions on her book deal. She'll divorce Todd. She'll need the money to fight the crimes she committed while Governor.

A footnote in history...
