Sarah has few options right now. She'll never be tapped for top 'o the ticket again, she'll not be offered an appointment by Romney to a post of any note, the entertainment/TV gigs will dry up as a reliable source of income, the lecture circuit is devastating to home and family life, she's too intelligent to try to form a third party from scratch, plus Alaska is a political Siberian dead-end for her now.
I happen to think she would make an excellent, innovative senator, bringing energy, excitement and conservative leadership to the smug, tired, arrogant, lazy, complacent and clueless members of our country's House of Lords.
As an extra added bonus, a Senator Palin would be in an excellent positition to influence future presidential apppointments to the Supreme Court.
In short, I see (and hope for) a successful run as senator from Arizona for Sarah Palin in the future.

I somehow thought that was Megan’s future. I hope you are right though
Good thinking, MinuteGal!
If she does this, I’m all for her. I think she’d be a great senator. However, something tells me that she does not want to be a team player again-—in the best sense of the term-—and prefers to have the mantle of the “outsider” who, “if there weren’t forces conspiring against her,” could achieve greatness. As senator, she’s one of 100-—and a junior senator to Flake at that. But as “Sarah,” she’s always “available” as the great alternative to whomever is in there.
I doubt that Sarah Palin will ever run for the Senate or any other federal office. I also believe she has no interest in serving in some cabinet position. Her strength, other than as president, is in rallying the tea party/small government conservatives into action. In other words, she can best serve as a thorn in the side of all entrenched self-serving political elites.
“I also think that she’ll run for the Senate as an Arizonian. I believe she’ll be endorsed by McCain as his successor when he retires, probably after he completes his present term. I think this is why she’s describing him in such glowing terms these days.”
Hadn’t thought of the possibility of her running after McCain retires, which could be a distinct possibility; however, she better buy a home in Arizona soon to establish residency and make Alaska her secondary home, if this is the path she wishes to follow. Otherwise she would be looked upon as a carpetbagger if she doesn’t park herself in some fashion in Arizona in the near future.
