I know the Governorship is a great pathway to the WH but in my very humble opinion I agree with you about the senate run. It steps on the Messiah’s win, it gets her talking, speaking a lot and keeps her in the news. It keeps the Olbermanns frothing at the mouth. A new Sarah victory would be such a gift right now and such a missile at the msm.
I agree, if she were in the Senate, she'd be in opposition and would be able to spend her time opposing bad proposals from the Democrats - and getting time on TV and elsewhere to make her case.
It would also give her time to build a relationship with the American people - for people who don't know her the criticisms are believable. After 2-3 years of going on television and speaking to the entire country, those criticisms will go away forever.
I don't want her to spend 10 years in the Senate, just 2-3 with this special election as a stepping stone and as a way of talking to more people more effectively.
I believe that it most definitely will help her in a bid for the white house in 2012 if she had some “national” experience under her belt. That’s why I think it is important as conservatives that we urge her if the opportunity presents itself, to run for Sen. Stevens seat.
Our job started yesterday to get a conservative elected in 2012!
Here is what I sent her:
Gov. Palin,
I want to thank you for the energy and hope you have put back into conservatives. I am not from Alaska, but as a concerned conservative republican, I urge you to continue your fight to win our country back from the hands of the liberals who seek to destroy the very founding principals of our great nation.
I hope if Sen. Stevens is forced to step down in Jan. that you will consider running for his seat in the Senate. We need you in Washington! Whether you choose to run for his seat or not, I hope and pray to see you as MY candidate for President in 2012. We have a long four years ahead of us, we NEED you now more than ever!
With much respect and admiration,
Sarah Palin will be destroyed in the coming year or so. This will come from the Media The Democrats and the RINOS (I would also add Socialists but that would be redundant) Palin cannot be allowed to gather strength for a Presidential run.
If she were to Be the Republican Nominee in 2012 it would cause the Socialists (OK I admit it I am being redundant) all sorts of problems. They will not allow it. Palin politically from this day forward is Dead Meat. And its about the saddest part of this whole mess.
