An angle discussed today is that she's stepping down now to get her crap together for any future elections. A portion of that would be no family surprises in regards to teenage pregnancy, or being accused of bad parenting or neglecting her newest child who has Down's syndrome. That was an area where people made comments when she was running for VP, particularly about her family, so it is a plausible theory.
Alaska may be Republican overall, but there is a strong lean to Libertarianism. If there's a viable Libertarian or Democrat candidate, it wouldn't surprise me in the next election if the governor wasn't a Republican. The attitude is somewhat "do what you want, but don't screw up or embarrass us"
