Mark Begich: Sarah Palin may not be Alaska resident
Politico ^ | 07/10/2013 | BURGESS EVERETT

Posted on 07/10/2013 12:57:49 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Sarah Palin “quit on Alaska” as governor and “ has lost touch” with her home state, Mark Begich told POLITICO.

The Democratic senator said Palin, who said Tuesday she’s considering challenging him for his seat in 2014, might not even be a resident of Alaska and is someone he won’t take seriously unless she emerges from a competitive Republican primary.

“I don’t know if she’s a resident. She’s been away from Alaska a lot and has probably lost touch with what’s going on. She should go to my webpage,” Begich said. “Most Alaskans I see on a pretty regular basis, but I haven’t seen her for a long time.”

During an interview Wednesday with POLITICO, Begich questioned four times whether Palin is even a resident of the state she once governed and said his campaign won’t go on the offensive against Palin unless she can handle Joe Miller and Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell in a primary.

“A Republican primary in Alaska? She may not survive,” he said, one of a bundle of choice remarks for the former vice presidential candidate.

Begich, a former mayor of Anchorage, has known Palin for years. He said his sister played basketball with Palin — but there’s no love lost between the two.

“I take every candidate seriously — that is if she’s still a resident, but you know she quit on Alaska what she was governor,” Begich said. “She’s been somewhat vacant from the state and quit on the state, so I wish her the best on her potential run.”

“Are you serious?”

Yes, I’m serious. I thought everybody knows it by now. Sara never said that, it was Tina Few doing a takeoff of Sara who said it.

Get out of town.

Really.

Who’s that stoopit?

BTW, you can walk from Alaska to Russia in the middle of winter.

And Sarah didn’t live anywhere Diomede(I think that’s how it’s spelt)

“Give me a break!”

Republicans or Conservatives don’t get breaks in these situations.

Does she pay taxes there?

***************

More importantly does she still get the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend? If so she would still be considered a resident.

If Sarah Palin is smart she will never run for Senate. The Senate is evil, and there is no reforming it.

+1.

Is Barack Obama a US resident?
