Sarah Palin released a short statement this hour to resign from the candidacy of the Vice Presidency of the United States:

 

It is with deep regret that I am withdrawing my name from consideration as the party's nominee for vice president of the United States of America. Given my daughter's pregnancy, the difficulty in raising a Down syndrome child, and the ongoing personal investigation in Alaska, I feel there are too many distractions right now that would not allow me to effectively fill my role as vice president, both over the next 2 months as Sen. John McCain's running mate, and after he is elected president. It is my duty therefore to step aside so that Sen. McCain and the party can replace me with someone who can and will be able to devote 100% of his or her time to this extremely important position. Americans deserve that. Thank you.

 
Edit note: Total fabrication. Closed.

I haven't found any links or sources. Not closing it yet - but know that if there is no forthcoming information confirming this, it will be closed and/or moved to UUU.

I'd say the chances are 60/40 a staffer is polishing that little speech right now.

The article sited here is marked with a question mark at the end of the title. The script our authro provides in the opneing post is an example of what such a statement might look like.

Closed. Fabrication.
