Apparently, she’s resigning the governorship at the end of the month (at a picnic?!) and neither she nor the new Lieutenant Governor who will replace her will run in the next Gubernatorial election.   Nothing about 2012 and the national scene.

An earlier KTUU report (still noted on Parnell's Wiki page) said he wasn't running; the KTUU page now says that he will.

I saw the news as well. I think she's going to do a major flounce.
