What's Next for Palin? An Alaskan Reaction

Monday, July 06, 2009

Sarah Palin has been a lot of things: hockey mom, a Miss Alaska pageant winner, a high school point guard, and a Republican Vice Presidential candidate. But in a few weeks, one thing she won't be is Alaska's Governor. On Friday she surprised the nation when she announced her resignation from the post. Joining The Takeaway to discuss Alaska's reaction to the news, and to guess what Ms. Palin will do next, is Larry Persily, former aide to Governor Palin and a long-time Alaska journalist.

"She's like the college star in basketball who, junior year, looks at the pro market and decides, 'I'm out of college. I'm dropping out. I'm going to go at the height of my market. I'm turning pro.'"
—Former Palin aide Larry Persily
