Mark Begich: Sarah Palin may not be Alaska resident

[McGruff]

She should hold a press conference and show everyone her birth certificate.

[nickcarraway]

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

[stoneyhll]

Yes, and I drove by the house last August when visiting my son. The neighbor’s house is extremely close and slightly above Palin’s. By the way, the Palin family was at home then.

Not wanting to start a flame war here - just asking. Why would you think that she would not be a US citizen?

[0.E.O]

Sarah is obviously a native Alaskan.

Native of Idaho actually. Moved to Alaska as a very young child.

[thackney]

Actually, the Permanent Fund set the qualification for being an Alaska resident.

When I moved from Alaska back to Texas, bought a house in Texas and registered to Vote in Texas, I was still paying property taxes on the house we had not sold in Alaska. Paying property taxes doesn’t make you a resident, or I would be a resident in three different states.

[CaptainK]

Hillary became a first time NY state resident in Sept 1999 and was elected Senator in Nov 2000.

Sarah has plenty of time to reestablish residency, if in fact she is no longer an Alaska resident. But it sounds like a Democrat wishful thinking red herring.

[Hot Tabasco]

Hillary, cough, cough....

Boing!

[CaptainK]

And her electric bill.

[thackney]

I paid property taxes on the home I couldn’t sell in Alaska after I started voting again in Texas. Property taxes don’t make you a resident.

[Vendome]

Maybe she walked here from Russia?

[SMARTY]

Where is she registered to vote?

[Vigilanteman]

Says the guy who lives in DC.

Yeah, ain't that rich?

And he owes his seat to the election week indictment of his opponent which later proved to be bogus, totally groundless and politically motivated.

Begich may not be quite as bad as your typical turd-bird Democrat, but Alaska can do a LOT better.

[Jim Scott]

Mark Begich should realize that Sarah Palin has been attacked, mocked and ridiculed by people far better at it than he'll ever be and she still stands tall and is admired by millions. Meanwhile, most Americans would ask: "who's Mark Begich?" This guy is a pipsqueak compared to Sarah Palin. He's using snide comments thinking he can brush her off with sarcasm and trotting out the old 'she quit Alaska' lie. That may work in Washington, D.C. or with the infamous 'low information voter' but I doubt it will fly in Palin's home state.

[Vendome]

Zactly!!!

I have friends who have 5 and more homes and even more who have two or more homes.

They claim their residency wherever they claim their residency and live at the other places when visiting those areas.

[Kevmo]

Good place to bump this thread. I’ll bet the PDSers will be all over this.

[mwl8787]

Palin is an executive, she doesn’t want to be in the Senate. I doubt very much she will run. Plus, she wants and needs to continue to make some real money.

Palin and her family went through Hell and back; at minimum she deserves true financial security for everything she sacrified.

[nickcarraway]

Exactly

[Hot Tabasco]

Who is Mark Begich and why should anyone care?

Who?......A seated Democrat Senator

Who should care? Him!

He's scared and you can just feel the vicious attacks brewing in the back room that he's going to use against Palin should she decide to run for Alaska Senate......

[Amagi]

Utterly amazing.
Yo, Marky. You've seen Obama's REAL birth certificate? Hello? Anyone home?
