On Friday, Sarah Palin made the surprising announcement that she will step down as governor of Alaska at the end of this month. On Saturday, Palin hinted at future plans on her Facebook page writing, “I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint”.
