Will it be revealed that a new scandal is the reason Governor Palin's quit governorship early

Background: CATEGORY EDITOR CLARIFICATIONThis market is being allowed to run. In order for a Yes settlement there must be clear and overwhelming reporting of a scandal. I am going to allow this market which will hopefully not run into many problems, but be forewarned that this market is not for the weary, this market will be settled solely at my discretion, therefore I will do my best to provide clarifications as necessary. Please flag market for most immediate responses.

On July 3 Alaska's Governor Palin announced she will not run for reelection, and also she will quit the governorship in midterm. Her speak revealed only vague reasons for this sudden, unexpected decision. Was a lurking, not yet revealed, scandal actually behind this, which will be revealed in the upcoming months?
