why can’t Sarah Palin run for the Ted Stevens Senate seat?
If he has to resign his seat, as governor she would be allowed to appoint herself as his successor!
“Make note now of which of your employees voted for Obama. When the tax increases hit and you’re looking for a way to cut expenses to offset the higher taxes,
I am ahead on this one. We have a very small offfice, one guy who voted for BO said the reasoning he did is he is worse off in the last four years.
When I asked him in what way- (he has worked for us for last 10 years and makes a good salary.) He said gas prices are higher- He almost got away with it till I told him he has a company car and I PAY FOR THE F*ing GAS!!
Needless to say, I am today budgeting for the future. HIs next four years will be worse than his past four years. That is for sure.
I'm not sure what the law is in Alaska, but she could probably appoint herself to replace Stevens when he goes to jail, and this could keep her in the news and in the public's mind, but being in the Senate does not give the experience that an "executive branch" position like Governor does.
Plus, The GOP has not had much luck running Senators for President.
It would be a demotion. Being one vote in a hundred, and in a shrinking minority at that, isn’t the best way to serve those who support you. Heading up state government is the best fit for those who want to serve their state.
