Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was to step down yesterday with her political future clouded by ethics probes, mounting legal bills and dwindling popularity.

Palin, who became a national political figure last year after she became the Republicans' vice presidential candidate, has said little of what her life will be like as a private citizen but has said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast and build a right-of-center coalition.
