Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin let everyone know on Twitter that she is just 10 days from throwing off the reins of elected office to go rogue.
Referencing her announcement to step down as governor on July 26, she posted this tweet Friday: "elected is replaceable;Ak WILL progress! + side benefit=10 dys til less politically correct twitters fly frm my fingertps outside State site"
Palin loves Twitter and has used it as a tool to go around the mainstream media and broaden her support among conservatives in the lower 48. To me, today's tweet is more evidence that she plans to run for president in 2012.
She also asked her 99,115 followers to switch to her personal Twitter account once she is out of office: "I'll stay in touch w/whomever wants via personal twtr site;launch July 26;"
Palin's obvious excitement about speaking out on political issues -- unfettered -- as a private citizen and her encouragement of people to follow her after she resigns are part of the groundwork for a future campaign.
She is teasing us with her plans for an outspoken Palin version 2.0 in the very near future. Earlier this week, she quoted Aristotle: "Criticism is something easily avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, being nothing."
Palin is one of the most outspoken and seemingly uncensored conservative elected officials in the country, and we can only imagine what she plans for her "less politically correct twitters" once the yoke has been thrown off.
Ten days and counting: Politics watchers wait with bated breath for the thoughts that will fly from her fingertips. The summer political sizzle is about to get a whole lot hotter.
