Why does she need to go to Congress and just be one of hundreds of lawmakers?

Public exposure. I really think she could build a reputation there first. Yes, she was a governor, but until recently she really wasn't that well known outside of Alaska.

The press has and will continue to try and destroy her in her capacity now, and I think she could really build a strong backing in Congress first. I mean as it stands now there are more libs, minorities and just those who wouldn't want a woman in the top position. There are just not enough of us to put her over the top. She needs to build a wider general appeal, which she doesn't have now IMO.

Pure hog vomit. She was picked for VP, which is the ultimate in public exposure. And if she was picked for VP, then she's good enough for President.

They have continued to attack her even though she holds no capacity in office.
What would she accomplish as a member of Congress? Virtually nothing.

Your reasoning is the same condescending BS tripe that's been heard over and over again.

I don’t think being a Rep. in Congress for the minority party brings any significant public exposure or opportunity to build any national track record..... especially in the current environment where the ‘Rats control both houses and the WH..... the best she could do in that situation would be to issue PRs and statements, and she’ll have a far bigger megaphone on Fox, imho.

She needs to pursue her unique career with hints of Ronald Reagan -— he did his broadcast/ideas before he became Gov. of Calif., while Sarah has already been Gov. (not saying Gov. of Alaska is comparable to Gov. of Calif. but at least it’s real executive experience, unlike Obambi, Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, Albore, and almost anyone the ‘Rats have put forward in recent years).

I think she can now broaden and deepen her experience in the public battles of ideas ala Reagan.... granted, she’s now in a very unconventional path for a national pol with presidential aspirations, but then so much about her is unique.
