Sarah Palin says she’s not a quitter, she’s a hero, but adds that, politically speaking, “if I die, I die. So be it.”

The Alaska governor spoke in taped interviews on Fox News, NBC and CNN broadcast Tuesday morning.

She told CNN that “all options are on the table” for her future.

But told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she recognizes she might not have political staying power after her surprise resignation Friday, which came just as she had been expected to elevate her national profile ahead of a possible 2012 GOP presidential run.

Palin is returning to the public eye four days after her bombshell declaration, albeit in a place far removed from the glare of the national media: in a remote fishing village 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Palin stated she doesn’t think she needs a title to affect “positive change,” but added that she can’t see herself being totally out of public service.

Palin was scheduled to appear in Kotzebue to sign a bill designed to bring public safety officers to small towns. Kotzebue, a town of about 3,000 people, is 550 miles northwest of Anchorage and lies on a spit of sand at the end of a peninsula.

There has been speculation that she has some legal subject that is not yet known to the public. But her lawyer told News Press on Monday that she has no legal problems whatsoever, and simply is worn of the hostile political climate, legal bills and other distractions.

“She is leaving now because I think she believes that she has become the issue, rightly or wrongly, with all these ethics complaints and with the issues involving the Legislature, the combativeness they’ve been demonstrating toward her since she returned from the campaign,”

In addition, her relationship with Democrats in the state Senate — once among her staunchest allies — degenerated in the last session.

At the state Capitol in Juneau, the “Time to Make a Difference” clock that calculated the time left in Palin’s term was taken down from the wall outside her office staff. And people from around the nation called up her office staff to inquire about the situation, as did a few cruise ship tourists who made the trek to the Capitol.

Palin will be succeeded by Lieutenant. Governor. Sean Parnell, who has announced he will seek to retain the office in the 2010 election.

State Representative. John Harris, a former House speaker and Republican from Valdez, announced Monday that he’s preparing to file paperwork with state election officials in a bid for governor.
