Palin announced her resignation as governor of Alaska on July 3, 2009 and officially stepped down July 26, 2009. Her sudden announcement sparked a flurry of rumors as to the reason, including speculation that she, like the governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, had been involved in an affair.

Rumors of an affair first surfaced during her vice-presidential campaign. The presidential campaign of John McCain threatened threatened to sue the National Enquirer over a report alleging that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner.National Review: What The Enquirer Is Saying About Palin (September 3, 2008) In response, the Enquirer stated that their story contained "several newsworthy revelations" and that they would continue their coverage despite threats of a lawsuit.Drudge Report: Enquirer Responds to McCain/Palin
