It is virtually impossible to run for President with Alaska as one’s base of operations.

Therefore, Governor Palin will:

Move to Wisconsin.

Write books.

Give speeches.

Travel the country helping get conservatives elected (build alliances).

Travel internationally and meet with foreign dignitaries.

Maybe do some TV commentary.

Become President Of The United States.

I was thinking something almost exactly like that.

Wisconsin?

Therefore, Governor Palin will:

Move to Wisconsin...

Since those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, I will quietly bring this up, since choosing to repeat history is not quite the same as being doomed, but it does lead to repeats:

The Republican party was founded in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854. They lost the 1856 election, then won the 1860 election - in large part because the country was torn apart and had 4 national parties running for the office that year.

The Republican Party was founded to a large extent to replace the Whigs.

The Republican Party also won the 1864, 1868, 1872, 1876, and 1880.

The first Republican election was, "free labor, free land, free men."

Any similarities to conditions at that time and the present may or may not coincidence. It may not take a whole new party, but there will be some major overhaul required to get the current Republican Party back to its purpose.
