WASHINGTON (CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected to announce Friday that she will not seek a second term, three sources tell CNN.

Palin has scheduled a 3 p.m. ET news conference at her home in Wasilla. The governor’s office offered no further details about the subject of the news conference, but the sources tell CNN that Palin will announce her decision to forgo another run.

"She thinks she has accomplished goals she has set forward," one of the sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said. "She sees what a positive influence she has had on people's lives from traveling the country in the last year."

As the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin is considered one of the frontrunners for the GOP nomination in 2012. Her decision not to seek another term as governor is sure to stoke speculation that Palin is seriously eyeing a run for the White House.

Thank You Lord!

So how is Sarah supposed to make money. Bitch needs to eat.

Well she has a book deal in the making that is supposed be worth over a million easy and I think she just wasn't cut out for the national politics limelight and people are speculating she might go the media tv route

As much as I hate her politics and am glad to see her go - some of the attacks on her by liberals were kind of making me disgusted. It's the same old liberal establishment - let's make fun of Bush for his accent and dumb quotes, but not talk about his harmful politics. This comes from the fact that many of the public figures ridiculing Palin or Bush actually support or enable their policies. Liberals can make fun of Bush out of one side of their mouth while supporting candidates like John Kerry who argued for a troop surge before Bush ever considered it.

I think it's a bad tactical move too because someone like Palin is used by the establishment to make right-wing populist appeals and when liberals make fun of her for being "white trash" it only helps to pull dissaffected poor people to identify with her faux-populism.
