Because you don’t get your presidents from Capitol Hill.
She should remain a Governess until her next run for president.

Oh, please! During the primaries when most of us supported Duncan Hunter with all his capitol hill experience, all we got was a bunch of crap that he hadn’t been a governor! She needs the national exposure. She’s not going to become an idiot if she’s elected to the Senate.
Obviously you are wrong....all the aspirants go to the senate first, don’t they?? Hillary, McCain, Obama, Biden.....It sure hurt them didn’t it????
I know I am in the minority but if Sarah is serious in running for the Presidency in 2012 she should run for the Senate-either in the special election after Stevens is forced to resign (but not appoint herself for the interim term)or challenge Lisa Murkowski in the primaries for the 2010 Senate seat. She is already Governor of Alaska. If she runs for governor again in 2010 and wins then she will saddled with the job of governor and be too far from the battleground of Iowa and New Hampshire and other lower 48 states to do what she needs to do to build a grass-roots organization and get the ball rolling on raising money for her campaign. Secondly as a Senator she would be able to plug into conservative think tanks and groups who would boost her credibility and also keep in the news by opposing Obama in Washington and then appear on TV and give interviews to the media to rehabiltate her reputation over time. Sarah would then be poised to take a run for the White House, with the full backing of the base. Sarah doesn’t need executive experience; what she needs is more exposure on the national scene. If she plays her cards right as a Senator she’ll get a lot more play than she even would expect.
