Sarah for Senate in 2010, then Pres in 2012??

Would like to get some feedback from fellow freepers on this one. Would be poetic justice if Sarah could spend a few years in the Senate and then defeat an incumbent Obama. I'm quite sure she wouldn't vote "present".

Governors are much better candidates for POTUS.

That’s why Jindal should be the front-runner but let’s leave it to the party delegates to decide.

What if she appoints herself by convincing Stevens to resign? He needs to go anyway for the good of the party. Can she do that and leave the statehouse to another PUB?

She could go to the Senate this Jan, and have 4 years of national exposure before running in 2012.

The Senate’s a club for arrogant twits. She should continue to clean up Alaska and have an even bigger laundry list of accomplishments to run on in 2012.

lets let the best candidate come forward.....I'm a big Sarah fan but I also think BobbyJ or even Mitt might be an idea.....

can we promise ourselves that we won't tear down every candidate like we did last time?

It is a 60 day appointment and then there is a runoff election. No permanent appointment for the term.

She would have to run for the seat.

I agree with everyone else—Remain a governor and learn to govern and not become a compromiser in the Senate.

No. Then, Sarah is one of a hundred misfits that I wouldn’t
trust with any part of my life.
She’s doing fine where She is.
Two more years of executive experience, then, onto the trail will be much better for us.

I still wish Duncan Hunter had a shot, but I know that’s likely a pipe dream. :-(

Murkowski appointed his daughter and Sarah was able to drive to office through that wedge.

Gov. Palin should continued to serve out current term as Governor, then run re-election then run for President representing the Republican Party. Having serving as two term governor from the state of Alaska, it will give her more executive experience & prepare her to enter the national stage then defeat the Marxist President. Governor always do well when they run for the Presidency; just look at Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton (not my president)& George W Bush all were two term governor & was re-elect president.

Poetic justice would be for SP to do whatever SP wants to do, so long as she kicks Lib a$$ and fights corruption and stays true to her principals. In 2012, she will have either made a name for herself on a national level to run, or she either strayed away Doubtfull). So long as we don’t forget our job, it’s our job to keep pinging on the media about it, the rest is up to this great person. She’ll come through, will we?

“That’s why Jindal should be the front-runner but let’s leave it to the party delegates to decide.”

No one knows who Jindahl is. Don’t underestimate the exposure factor.

“Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable.

When asked to choose among some of the GOP’s top names for their choice for the party’s 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin. The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year — Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%. “

Amen to the arrogant twits thing! They all think senators are “Princes in Waiting”. Term limits of two years for a senator should slow down their thievery—or better yet, eliminate the senate.
