She would do better holding out for a presidential candidacy.
You have a link for that?
The senate is filled with former governors. Hardly a stepdown. Less decision making influence but control over trillions in spending, national attention and lifetime benefits.
She made a mistake when she resigned the governorship and the GOP turned their back to her leaving her to twist in the wind.
12 years in Senate will erase some of that.
On the presidential candidacy.....MAYBE.
The problem here is that it’s 2016, or never. The people thrilled with Palin will sit there and ask questions if she doesn’t start to show up in Iowa by summer of 2015. No appearance? No candidacy. The Republican who wins....is pretty much set for an eight-year period. Will people wait around another eight years for Sarah to maybe run? I doubt it.
The only state in the US where I think Palin has a high recognition factor and would likely get six out of ten votes...is Arizona. It simply makes sense. McCain might be insulted by this action, but frankly it’s time to retire.

Whether she said it or not, you are absolutely correct. Sarah Palin isn't going to run for the Senate in Arizona, Alaska or any other state. What a waste of talent and her time that would be.
The only office I can see her running for is president. I also wouldn't rule out her accepting a cabinet post in the right administration IF she could see where her presence would actually matter. You don't leave Alaska for DC unless it really does matter.
