WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) -- Growing speculation that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will not seek reelection in 2010 has other potential candidates eagerly awaiting a decision, observers say.
The Washington publication Politico reported Tuesday that politicians in both Alaska and Washington believe Palin's silence on her 2010 plans is a sign the former Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate will forgo a second term as governor to pursue a career in national politics.
