Pretty easy to figure this out. Bristol, not Sarah, buys the house but Mommy on the campaign trail can use it as a home base while traveling through the lower 48 instead of flying to and from Alaska all the time.
No doubt Juan McCain suggested it and probably has some security lined up for them if/when they need it. By putting it in Bristol’s name, the Palins can also deny for as long as necessary that Sarah is running for president or is using it for campaign purposes. And nobody will deny the right of a concerned mother/grandmother to drop in for frequent visits.
Bingo!!!!! I thought the same exact thing - that Bristol was “buying” a home base for SP to do preliminary pre-campaign campaigning. No other reason for Bristol - with her whole family in AK - to relocate to AZ. Insightful post of the year!!!
First guy to win the prize.
Bristol buys a five-bedroom foreclosure in Pinal County. Mom can come down anytime without having to use a hotel room. It’s in Bristol’s name. Palin Campaign doesn’t have to account for it as an expense. Mom doesn’t have to spend money buying a house in the Lower 48. Arizona is reasonable longitude to Alaska and only three hours flight time from New York and DC.
McCain lined this up. Remember; Sarah Palin is his revenge against the Bush Familia. Anyone who doesn’t get this about McCain doesn’t get the fact that he has always held a grudge about the Bushies treatment of him in 2000.
He’s going to screw Jeb over if it’s the last thing he does. One of the reasons he picked Palin was because she was an anti-Establishment Republican. Now Palin is running through the Bush family’s planning for 2016 like a bull in a China closet and McCain can’t get enough of it.
And Palin stuck by McCain through thick and thin. Don’t think McCain doesn’t remember that.
Best,

I agree. Sarah Palin is thinking ahead! Great strategist.
