MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell reports that according to her sources, not only is Sarah Palin stepping down as Governor of Alaska, she is also getting out of politics, period. Time will tell if Mitchell's reporting is accurate, and whether this is a result of her legal problems that are potentially mounting in Alaska or her thinking that this move somehow would help her in a Presidential run. I would bet on the former if forced to take odds.
