"Do the words 'Senator Sarah Palin' excite you?"
That's the opening line of a recent email by The Tea Party Leadership Fund, which is trying to draft the former Alaska governor and past Fox News commentator to run for the Senate in 2014. The fund argues Palin has a clear path to victory in part due to recent polling showing incumbent Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, with less than 50 percent of the vote.
But, it being a draft, the group hasn't talked with Palin about whether or not she's interested. And Palin – whose PAC didn't respond to request for comment from Whispers – is believed to be currently residing in Arizona, not Alaska. The fund's Niger Innis says the interest of Tea Party members in a Palin run, however, is clear.
"We didn't know that [the draft] was going to catch fire to the degree that it has. And what that tells us is that this is just the beginning," he says. "It's gone viral."
But not all Tea Party groups are enthused about drafting Palin without first gauging her interest....

Imagine Palin vs Fienstien on the Senate floor...Or Reid...Or Grhamm...or McCain...
Oh, the mind reels at the joy of it.
I’d vote for her.
“Tea Party Group Drafting Sarah Palin to Run for Alaska Senate”
They are talking about a run for the US Senate, not Alaska Senate.
People who write for these major publications are illiterate.
She is a G-dly Woman (just look at her and Trig alone) and yet we they suck up to an man evil who blesses Babies to die in a closet.
It’s this Tea Party’s aspiration for her, not her’s.
“God Bless Planned Parenthood”
- Barack Hussein Obama
“May God bless those who respect a culture of life in America.”
- Sarah Heath Palin
The contrast is amazing. How could enough people vote for Obama to put him within the margin of fraud? How could enough people stand silently by to allow the far left to silence those who share Sarah’s values? I will not be silent - anywhere.
Agreed. It's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or nothing.
Yep, me too.
That would be awesome!!
This country needs her now more than ever!!
BUMP.
Thank you for your concern 2ndDivisionVet. But frankly, I'm not sure where to start.
Military issues aside, basically the only reason that many patriots regard the Oval Office as the most powerful office in the land is because they have never gotten themselves up to speed on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.
For example, for "government" services like Social Security and healthcare, it means that many patriots don't seem to understand that the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution the specific powers to tax and spend for such services. This is why I've been posting, ad nauseum, Justice John Marshall's official clarification that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially issues which Congress cannot justify under its Section 8, Article I limited powers.
“"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, where federal domestic policy is concerned, practically the only power that the president has to regulate what can arguably be regarded as intrastate commerce is to sign bills from Congress which affect postal services (Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution). Otherwise, regardless what FDR's activist justices wanted everybody to believe about Congress's Commerce Clause powers, Congress has no power to regulate intrastate commerce.
Again, neither the Oval Office, or the rest of the federal government for that matter, should be regarded as the most powerful offices in the land where domestic policy is concerned.
I disagree...it might be the best way for her to get to 1600 after everything the liberals and GOPe smeared her with. What better way for her to show this country her true colors and integrity than to be a sitting senator of the Great state of Alaska?
I think it is a marvelous idea!!
As a new AZ resident, I would like to see her primary McPain out.
She can run for governor at the same time.
I want to hear Sarah tell us her intentions. She knows the lay of the land and it is she that I trust and will support her with every once of effort while supporting her decision.
I'm all agaisnt Democrats (used to be one), heavily against Republicans (the pubs against Palin), and all for Sarah in future elections.
This way sarah was treated by "good-old"-Republicans in last year's election cycle was disgusting.

I just wanted to tell both of you that both your posts are extremely witty, worthy of Sarah herself, and that I will be shamelessly stealing them in the future ;p
I Hope you Understand!
Sarah brings us all together, Repubs, Conservatives, Democrats, Libertarians.
Go Sarah!!!
