It's pretty hard to spend the requisite time in the contiguous 48, building alliance and earning chits, if one lives in Alaska, let alone serving as a sitting governor.
So you leave over JULY 4th WEEKEND?
Right after the pathetic June job numbers came out?
You take away the newscycle from that over JULY 4th weekend?
Cedric, if you spend the time and effort to get elected to be a governor, you need to fulfill your term in office as a thanks for those who supported you. This is quitter type stuff, unless that can be mitigated by further information. I’m holding out hope, but this doesn’t look good.
If this is a political consideration, it’s going to severely impact my opinion of Palin.
Yep you have to spend most every weekend up in NH during the run up year for the primary. Kinda hard to do when living in the far northwest.
AK is the 47th ranked state population wise and the mayors of 17 cities have more constituents than she does. Her future at least in the beginning on a national level will have to be waged from the lower 48. This maybe the precipice to that beginning.
