Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is finally ready to face the media after her stunning announcement that she’s resigning at the end of July. Palin will do a one on one interview with me Monday night in Dillingham, Alaska. She has been on a commercial fishing boat with her husband Todd and will come to shore to do the interview.

There’s been rampant speculation about Palin’s future after she announced July 4th at her home in Wasilla that she will not seek re-election and will step down at the end of the month. Palin did not take any questions at the announcement, but has been communicating with supporters through facebook and twitter. In one tweet she compared her decision to those who pursue a “higher calling” leading many to speculate that she’s planning a future run for the white house.

I’ll certainly ask her about her plans and the criticism from those inside the beltway that she’s made a big mistake if she does have higher aspirations.

Stay tuned.
